Bridge Traditional and Cloud
Infrastructure Seamlessly
Develop the expertise to design and manage hybrid environments that leverage both on-premises systems and cloud platforms, creating flexible infrastructure that serves your organization's evolving needs.
Back to HomeWhat This Program Delivers
This training program equips you with practical capabilities to architect and manage hybrid cloud solutions effectively. You'll gain confidence working with leading cloud platforms while maintaining your on-premises infrastructure, creating integrated environments that provide both flexibility and control.
Architectural Confidence
Understand how to design hybrid solutions that balance workload requirements with platform capabilities. You'll make informed decisions about where applications belong and how systems connect.
Platform Proficiency
Gain hands-on experience with Azure Arc, AWS Outposts, and Google Anthos. Learn how each platform approaches hybrid connectivity and what considerations influence your choice.
Operational Integration
Learn to manage identity federation, network connectivity, and workload distribution across hybrid environments. Your infrastructure works as a cohesive system rather than separate silos.
The Hybrid Challenge
Your organization needs cloud capabilities but can't migrate everything immediately. Regulatory requirements, data gravity, and application dependencies create constraints. You're tasked with bridging these worlds, but the complexity feels overwhelming.
Perhaps you've experimented with cloud services but struggle to integrate them meaningfully with existing infrastructure. Or maybe you understand the concepts but lack confidence implementing production hybrid architectures where mistakes have real consequences.
Each cloud platform has different hybrid approaches. Determining which solution fits your needs while managing networking, security, and compliance across environments creates decision paralysis.
Platform Complexity
Azure Arc, AWS Outposts, and Google Anthos each solve hybrid challenges differently. Understanding their strengths and limitations requires deeper knowledge than marketing materials provide.
Workload Placement Decisions
Determining which applications belong on-premises versus in cloud involves balancing performance, cost, compliance, and operational considerations that interact in complex ways.
Network Integration
Creating reliable, secure connectivity between on-premises and cloud environments while maintaining acceptable latency and managing costs requires careful planning and ongoing optimization.
Identity and Security
Managing authentication, authorization, and security policies consistently across hybrid environments introduces complexity that traditional approaches don't address adequately.
Building Your Hybrid Capabilities
This program develops your understanding through practical implementation across real hybrid scenarios
Platform Deep Dives
You'll work hands-on with Azure Arc, AWS Outposts, and Google Anthos in our lab environments. Rather than superficial overviews, we explore how each platform handles hybrid connectivity, workload management, and operational integration.
By experiencing these platforms directly, you develop informed perspectives on which approaches align with different organizational requirements and constraints.
Architecture Decision Framework
We'll guide you through structured approaches for evaluating workload placement. You'll learn to assess applications against criteria including performance requirements, data locality needs, compliance obligations, and cost implications.
These frameworks help you make defensible architecture decisions rather than guessing or following trends without context.
Hybrid Network Design
Learn to design and implement connectivity between on-premises and cloud environments. We cover VPN configurations, dedicated connections, SD-WAN integration, and traffic routing patterns that maintain both security and performance.
You'll understand how to troubleshoot connectivity issues and optimize network costs without compromising reliability.
This capability becomes essential as your organization operates across multiple environments with different authentication systems.
Your Learning Journey
Over 14 weeks, you'll progress from fundamental concepts to implementing sophisticated hybrid architectures
Hybrid Fundamentals
We establish core concepts around hybrid cloud architecture, exploring why organizations adopt hybrid approaches and what challenges they address. You'll understand different hybrid patterns and when each makes sense. Interactive discussions help you connect these concepts to real organizational scenarios.
Platform Implementation
Hands-on work with Azure Arc, AWS Outposts, and Google Anthos begins. You'll configure hybrid connections, deploy workloads, and manage resources across environments. Labs simulate realistic scenarios including network configuration, identity federation, and workload migration. Instructors provide guidance as you encounter typical challenges.
Architecture Project
Design a comprehensive hybrid solution addressing specific business requirements. Your project involves workload analysis, platform selection, network design, security implementation, and cost modeling. Regular feedback sessions help refine your approach while building decision-making confidence.
Advanced Topics and Integration
Final weeks address advanced scenarios including disaster recovery across hybrid environments, cost optimization strategies, compliance management, and operational tooling. We discuss how to introduce hybrid solutions in organizations with existing infrastructure and change management considerations.
Continuous Learning Support
Hybrid cloud platforms evolve rapidly. Throughout the program, you'll develop skills for staying current with platform updates and new capabilities. Instructors share their approaches for continuous learning in this dynamic field.
The professional network you build includes others navigating similar hybrid challenges. These connections provide ongoing support as you implement solutions in your organization.

What's Included
Investment Perspective
Organizations increasingly require professionals who can navigate both traditional infrastructure and cloud platforms effectively. The capability to design and implement hybrid solutions positions you to address business needs that pure cloud or on-premises approaches can't solve. Beyond technical skills, you'll develop the architectural thinking that enables you to make sound decisions in complex environments with competing requirements.
Understanding Your Progress
How capabilities develop throughout this program
Progressive Development
Hybrid cloud architecture involves multiple interconnected topics. The program sequences material logically, ensuring you understand foundational concepts before addressing more complex integration scenarios. Each week builds on previous learning.
Early weeks may feel theoretical as we establish frameworks. Middle weeks become more concrete as you work hands-on with platforms. Later weeks synthesize everything into comprehensive solutions.
Realistic Expectations
Becoming proficient in hybrid architecture takes time and practice. By program completion, you'll have solid foundations and practical experience. True mastery develops as you apply these capabilities to varied organizational contexts.
Most participants report feeling competent designing basic hybrid solutions by week 10, with confidence growing through continued application.
