The architecture of Distributed, Highly Reliable and Scalable systems Training Course

This instructor-led, live training in New Zealand (available online or on-site) is designed for intermediate to advanced-level software professionals who wish to understand how to architect distributed systems that scale efficiently and handle failures gracefully.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Design distributed systems that effectively manage load, latency, and failure.
• Understand key architectural patterns such as microservices, event-driven architecture, and CQRS.
• Evaluate the trade-offs between consistency, availability, and partition tolerance (CAP theorem).
• Select appropriate communication, storage, and coordination strategies.

This training course will explain how to use SysML, the modelling language for systems engineering. You will discover in particular block diagrams for the structural modelling of complex systems. You will deepen your understanding of sequence diagrams, state machine diagrams, and activity diagrams for dynamic modelling. You will also learn how to use SysML-specific diagrams such as the requirements diagram and the parametric diagram, as well as the concept of allocation. We will also emphasise the need to define a modelling approach tailored to the company's context and the type of system under study. Practical application will be carried out using the NoMagic Cameo Systems Modeler (MagicDraw) modelling tool.

Audience:

Systems engineers, business analysts, and architects who need to model complex systems involving both hardware and software.

This Introduction to Enterprise Architect training course is designed for all individuals who wish to use Sparx Systems’ UML modelling tool, Enterprise Architect, for their modelling activities yet are unfamiliar with the features, functions and use of Enterprise Architect.

Through a blend of lectures, demonstrations, and interactive workshops, this course illustrates the foundational principles for developing and maintaining an Enterprise Architecture (EA) using the Unified Architecture Framework (UAF) version 1.2.

Course Objectives

To provide a clear understanding of the essentials of embedded GNU/Linux, explaining how the various components fit together. You will learn what is required to build an embedded GNU/Linux system, where to source the necessary elements, and how to configure, build, and install them. The course also covers where to find support and addresses critical questions regarding software licensing. Through hands-on exercises, you will gain the practical experience needed to confidently develop your own embedded GNU/Linux systems upon successful completion of this training.

Description

This five-day training programme combines practical exercises with expert instruction to illustrate the core concepts of embedded GNU/Linux, designed to get you up to speed quickly. The philosophy, concepts, and commands essential for effective use of GNU/Linux are explained through a blend of theoretical knowledge and on-the-job training.

Instead of reinventing the wheel, learn from an experienced trainer and take away a working knowledge of GNU/Linux, along with the ability to apply it effectively in your own embedded development projects.

Who should attend?

This course is ideal for managers, project managers, software, hardware, development, and systems engineers, testers, administrators, technicians, and any other stakeholders interested in the technology who wish to understand how Embedded GNU/Linux works as quickly as possible. You should either already be using GNU/Linux or have the latitude to decide whether adopting it makes sense for your needs. Perhaps you have already attempted to use Embedded GNU/Linux but are unsure if you followed the correct approach. Alternatively, you may currently be using a different operating system and want to determine whether GNU/Linux could offer a better and/or more cost-effective solution.

Delivery Options

All training materials are provided in English, but the delivery of the content can be conducted in either English or German, according to your preference, with global availability.

In this instructor-led, live training in New Zealand, participants will learn how to evaluate various technologies and approaches for designing a services-based system architecture. The course begins with a discussion and comparison of monolithic systems and service architectures, before delving into the intricacies of microservice architecture.

Participants will have the opportunity to apply their knowledge by stepping through the creation and deployment of a set of proof-of-concept microservices built using Spring Cloud, Spring Boot, and Docker.
Finally, key infrastructure building blocks will be examined to assist participants in selecting the most appropriate tools and approaches for their organisation's specific requirements.
By the end of this training, participants will possess a solid understanding of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Microservice Architecture, along with practical experience in using Spring Cloud and related Spring technologies to rapidly develop their own cloud-scale, cloud-ready microservices.

The OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental examination evaluates the knowledge and skills necessary to construct a foundational SysML model of a system. The exam encompasses model concepts and organisation, basic requirements capture and management, structure and behaviour models, parametric models, allocation relationships, and the use of stereotypes. By leveraging the knowledge and skills covered at this level, along with familiarity with a suitable SysML modelling tool, a holder of the OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental Certification should be a productive contributor to modelling tasks performed by a Systems Engineering team employing a model-based systems engineering approach using SysML. The OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental Certification is a prerequisite for the programme’s two higher levels, and requires the OCSMP Model User Certification as its prerequisite.

This examination (as well as the others in the OCSMP series) tests your ability to apply the knowledge and skills listed here in the context of a model of a system. As you study, go beyond each individual diagram to understand how aspects that it models can influence or affect aspects of the system represented in other diagram types.

Building complex enterprise applications is extremely challenging in an ever-evolving environment.

Changes in the integration between services or systems often trigger adjustments to the overall system design. This course explores how to design maintainable service and system architectures that are appropriately scaled and aligned with your organisation's goals, along with the practical infrastructure needed to support them.

The course addresses common challenges involved in building distributed application landscapes, ranging from integration issues and infrastructure considerations to modern approaches for managing complexity.

It outlines the advantages and disadvantages of various solutions (such as traditional SOA versus microservices architecture), discusses available tools (primarily open-source) that support development and maintenance, and more.

Course Format

The course is primarily discussion-based, with limited presentation segments.

This course is designed for analysts, designers, developers, testers and project managers.

The workshop covers problem analysis, system design and documentation using UML and Enterprise Architect by Sparx Systems. During the training, participants will explore advanced capabilities of the tool (such as MDA, profiles, XMI) and learn best practices that can significantly simplify and accelerate the modelling process.

As the training focuses on the Enterprise Architect tool, participants are expected to already have a working knowledge of UML modelling. For those who wish to learn UML from the ground up, we offer dedicated UML modelling training.
