Links

  • NetApp Public Cloud Services Fundamentals [Y]
  • Using NetApp Cloud Sync [Y]
  • Using Cloud Volumes Service (CVS) for Google Cloud [Y]
    • Use cases:
      • Windows: CVS is the only cloud-native file service available on Google Cloud that supports Windows file shares.
      • SAP: Complete your SAP deployments in less time, with fewer resources, higher quality, and lower delivery risk. CVS for Google Cloud is now certified for use with SAP HANA on Google Cloud.
      • VMware: Seamlessly migrate your on-premises VMware workloads to Google Cloud without having to rearchitect or refactor your applications.
      • EUC/VDI: Move desktops to the cloud in a shorter amount of time and still ensure that they are performant, secure, available, and economical.
      • Other: CVS is ideal for multiple use-cases, including: HPC, AI/ML, cloud-native SaaS, EDA, data analytics, genomics processing, and web content management.
    • Enable billing and APIs:
      • gcloud --project=my-cvs-prj services list
      • gcloud --project=my-cvs-prj services enable servicenetworking.googleapis.com
      • gcloud --project=my-cvs-prj services enable servicemanagement.googleapis.com
      • For more see Module 4 - Lesson 1 of this course.
    • Knowledge check:
      • Steps to set up CVS and create a volume: 1) Purchase, 2) Enable, 3) Configure, 4) Create
      • To increase performance (bandwidth): 1) Increase the allocated volume capacity - or - 2) Move the volume to a higher service level.
    • Resources:
  • Using Azure NetApp Files [Y]

Q&A

Statement: Cloud Secure uses advanced machine learning and anomaly detection to warn administrators of potentially malicious behaviour.

Q: Match each NetApp product to the appropriate layer of service (see slide 1 above).
Answer:
  • Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP = Cloud Storage
  • Spot Ocean by NetApp = Compute
  • Cloud Data Sense (was Cloud Compliance and now BlueXP Classification) = Cloud Services
  • Cloud Insights = Cloud Analytics
True: Cloud Volumes Service is a fully managed cloud-native data storage service that NetApp delivers.
  • 2 benefits of Spot Cloud Analyzer by NetApp:
    • 1) reduced cloud costs and increased ROI
    • 2) comprehensive insights into costs and use across all cloud accounts
True: Spot PC automatically includes always-on Azure security solutions that activate real-time evaluation and mitigation of malware.
  • 3 ways Spot Elastigroup by NetApp enables infrastructure automation for automatic scaling applications:
    • 1) Automatically revert on-demand resources to spot instances for use.
    • 2) Use ML algorithms to predict the future load of applications.
    • 3) Proactively scale the cluster to accommodate peak traffic.
  • 3 features Spot Ocean provides when managing cloud infrastructure for containers:
    • 1) Continuous optimization of capacity and cost
    • 2) Prediction of interruptions to ensure availability
    • 3) Real-time analysis of container pod and task requirements
For AWS - Spot Eco by NetApp simplifies the planning, purchasing, and optimization of a cloud commitments portfolio.
