Description

Introduction:
As organizations increasingly migrate their infrastructures to cloud platforms, the demand for scalable, highly available, and cost-effective solutions for time-series data storage and analysis has grown significantly. VictoriaMetrics, known for its efficient handling of high-volume time-series data, is well-suited for deployment in cloud environments. This course focuses on deploying, managing, and scaling VictoriaMetrics in cloud environments such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. You’ll learn how to set up VictoriaMetrics in these cloud platforms, optimize its performance, ensure high availability, and leverage cloud-native features like auto-scaling and managed services. By the end of the course, you’ll have the skills to effectively deploy and manage VictoriaMetrics for high-performance monitoring and data analytics at scale.

Prerequisites:

• Basic understanding of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud)
• Familiarity with time-series data concepts and VictoriaMetrics
• Experience with Docker and container orchestration tools like Kubernetes
• Knowledge of cloud networking and security concepts
• Basic understanding of monitoring tools like Prometheus and Grafana
