Course Overview
Availability targets for virtual resource management are commercial commitments, whatever the engineering team calls them. The documentation for this part of technology and systems delivery is accurate only until the next release. The most reliable predictor of sound the technology and systems delivery discipline is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. The programme works equally well for those formalising virtual resource management for the first time and those improving an existing approach. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of this strand of technology and systems delivery to standardise and which to leave flexible. Participants leave with a method for the technology and systems delivery capability, not a set of opinions about it. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of virtual resource management rather than to abstract argument. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting the practice within technology and systems delivery and under-invest in testing it. The programme closes with an action plan for the wider technology and systems delivery agenda that each participant writes for their own organisation.
Expected Learning Outcomes

Define the scope and boundaries of virtual resource management so that responsibility for it is unambiguous.
Design backup and recovery for virtual resource management and prove it by restoring.
Design the architecture of virtual resource management around its failure modes, not only its happy path.
