BA role on initiative horizon So you have finished with this strategic horizon. Well done. Now let us move on to the initiative horizon where a lot of fun happens. The purpose of analysis at the initiative horizon is to inform decisions regarding solution options, features, priorities and lifestyle. That’s the definition from the agile extension to the Bible guide. Essentially, business analysis at the initiative horizon. Horizon is concerned with defining and delivering a solution that satisfies a need identified at the strategic horizon. So what are some of…

BA Role on delivery horizon Hello. A lot has happened since the start of this course. I have grown quite a bit. You have learned a lot about agile analysis on strategic and initiative horizons. Well done. The only remaining piece of the puzzle is the delivery horizon. How do we apply business analysis on day to day delivery of our solution? So let’s have a look. The perfect purpose of analysis on the delivery horizon is to inform decisions regarding the delivery of the solution. We already know which…

Step 06 – Understanding Cloud Storage – Versioning Back in this EP let’s look at object versioning. What is object versioning? Why do we need it? Object versioning prevents accidental deletion and also it provides you a history of what happened with a specific object. If you have an object and if by mistake somebody deletes it, then you lose it. However, if you have versioning turned on for a bucket, even if the object is accidentally deleted it, you can restore it from the previous version. Object versioning is…

Step 01 – Playing with Object Storage in GCP – Cloud Storage Back after talking about block and file storage in the last section. Let’s now shift our attention to Object Storage. The object storage service in GCP is cloud storage. What is object storage? What is cloud storage? Let’s talk about that in this specific section. And to get an idea about object storage and cloud storage, let’s start with a demo. What I would do is I would go into cloud console and I would say, cloud cloud…

Step 01 – Getting Started with Google Cloud Run Welcome back. In the previous sections, we talked about Kubernetes. When we talked about Kubernetes, we needed to create a cluster. How about an easier way of deploying containerized applications? That’s the idea behind Cloud run. Cloud Run is container to production in seconds. So you have a container to deploy. You can go to production in seconds. Now, before I do anything, what we’ll do is we’ll start with a demo for Cloud Run. So let’s go over to our…

Step 01 – Getting Started with Google Cloud Functions Welcome back. Let’s get started with Cloud functions. What are Google Cloud functions or GCF? Imagine you want to execute some code when an event happens. A file is uploaded into Object Storage in Google Cloud, which is Cloud Storage, an error log is written to Cloud Logging, or a message is arriving on a queue which is Cloud pub sub. In all these situations, let’s say you want to run some code. When some event happens, you want to run…

Step 00 – Understanding Data States Welcome back. Welcome to this new section on Encryption. In last few sections, we played around with a number of Compute services and before we go into storage and databases, we need to understand encryption. Whenever we’re moving data to the cloud, we want it to be secure and one of the options is to encrypt the data. Let’s understand encryption and the service which is offered by GCP for encrypting your data. In this specific section, let’s get started with understanding the different…

Step 10 – Playing with Disks – Gcloud Welcome back. Instead, let’s look at how we can play with disks from the command line. It’s the same thing that we used when we played with Compute instances gcloud Compute however, instead of instances we have disks. So Gcloud Compute list create Delete resize Snapshot let’s start with doing a simple Gcloud Compute Instances list and before I would be able to do that, let’s launch up Cloud Shell. I’ll open up Cloud Shell in a new window and let’s set…

Step 06 – Taking Snapshots for Persistent Disks Welcome back. In this step, let’s talk about snapshots. What are snapshots? Snapshots are nothing but point in time backups of your persistent disks. You can also schedule snapshots. You can say I would want to create a snapshot every few hours. I can say, I would want to configure a backup every day. You can also auto delete snapshots after a few days. So as part of your scheduling, you can say I would want to take a snapshot every day….

Step 01 – Exploring Block and File Storage in GCP Welcome back. Welcome to this new section on storage. In this section, we’ll be looking at the different storage options that are present in Google Cloud. We’ll be talking about block storage, file storage, and object storage options in this section. I’m sure you’re all excited. Let’s get started right away. Let’s get started with block storage and file storage. What is the difference between block storage and file storage? Think about this. What is the type of storage of…
