In this module, you will explore roles, principles, and practices related to hybrid cloud and multicloud operations. You'll examine how Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) roles, security practices, and learn how SRE principles apply to hybrid cloud operations. Then, activities such as role-plays and dialogues will enable you to define service-level indicators (SLIs) and objectives (SLOs), and how to use error budgets to guide trade-offs between reliability and velocity. You will also analyze hybrid cloud roles and responsibilities, and practice designing operational strategies for hybrid workloads.

In this module, you will learn how to design monitoring and observability strategies in hybrid cloud systems. You will explore metrics, logs, and traces, and practice building dashboards and configuring alerts through interactivities such as role-plays and dialogues. You'll also study common challenges such as alert fatigue and monitoring blind spots.

In this module, you will analyze how hybrid cloud architectures address security and compliance challenges. You will study IAM, encryption, and zero-trust architectures and explore compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, GDPR, and HIPAA. Through role-plays and dialogues, you will explore mapping compliance requirements and configuring policies across multiple providers.

This final module brings together all the skills you've developed. You'll design a hybrid cloud architecture that balances operations, monitoring, security, and compliance. Using a realistic case study, you'll analyze requirements, propose design options, and present a final plan that demonstrates your readiness for professional cloud-operations roles.
