Learn to implement a hybrid cloud solution with Amazon Web Services (AWS) by using NetApp® Cloud Volumes ONTAP®. Connect a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and an on-premises data center to unify your infrastructure. Use the NetApp Console to move data and manage storage in the hybrid cloud. Learn how NetApp cloud services are integrated into the NetApp Console to provide enhanced data protection, security, and compliance. Learn how to optimize the capacity and performance of Cloud Volumes ONTAP.

This course focuses on enabling you to do the following:

• Create a VPN connection between a public cloud network VPC and an on-premises data center
• Deploy an Agent in the public cloud
• Deploy Cloud Volumes ONTAP in both a single-node and high-availability (HA) configuration
• Use the NetApp Console to administer Cloud Volumes ONTAP
• Explore data protection options of Cloud Volumes ONTAP
• Analyze data tiering options from on premises to cloud
