About the Course
Modern organizations demand data results they can prove through measurable uptime, reduced latency, and strict adherence to global privacy mandates. To achieve this, you must demonstrate mastery in five core areas: multi-cloud storage tiering, automated ETL/ELT pipeline design, metadata management, cloud-native security protocols, and cost-efficiency modeling. This course addresses these requirements by moving from conceptual awareness to operational application, ensuring you can navigate the nuances of platforms like AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform without being locked into a single vendor ecosystem.
You will learn to turn scattered knowledge into a structured system by applying the NIST SP 800-144 guidelines for cloud security and the Data Mesh architectural pattern. Specifically, you will practice hands-on configuration of Snowflake or Databricks environments, design automated data quality checks, and build comprehensive data catalogs. This course is designed for professionals who must deliver under real-world constraints such as limited migration windows, complex regulatory burdens like GDPR or CCPA, and the need to support rapid AI experimentation. By the end of the training, you will have transitioned from managing databases to architecting global data ecosystems that serve as the foundation for digital transformation.

Course Objectives
This course equips you to design, execute, and measure cloud data initiatives that improve operational agility, ensure regulatory compliance, and drive strategic business value.
By the end of this course, you'll be able to:
- Assess current data maturity using the DAMA-DMBOK framework to identify cloud migration gaps
- Apply NIST SP 800-144 standards to secure sensitive data across multi-cloud environments
- Design a multi-region data architecture that balances high availability with cost-efficiency
- Construct automated data quality pipelines using cloud-native tools to ensure reliable analytics
- Evaluate cloud storage tiers and database types to optimize performance for specific workloads
- Navigate complex data residency requirements using automated compliance monitoring and reporting tools
- Implement a FinOps-aligned cost management dashboard to track and reduce data egress fees
- Synthesize technical requirements into a comprehensive cloud data strategy and implementation roadmap
Requirements & Prerequisites
Participants should have a minimum of 2 years of experience in database administration, data engineering, or IT infrastructure management. A foundational understanding of cloud computing concepts (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) and basic SQL proficiency is required. No prior programming or coding experience is necessary, though familiarity with cloud consoles (AWS, Azure, or GCP) is highly recommended.
