Alibaba Cloud Training Areas
Develop platform knowledge around the work ahead.
Choose a focused technical workshop or a broader learning program. Training depth, prerequisites and exercises are selected according to your team’s responsibilities.
Alibaba Cloud Foundations
Understand regions, zones, account organization, resource groups, tags and billing visibility.
Cloud Architecture & Application Design
Design internet-facing, internal and hybrid workloads around service, scaling and availability requirements.
VPC Networking & Traffic Control
Configure VPCs, vSwitches, routes, security groups, elastic IPs and NAT gateways.
Identity, Access & Security Controls
Manage RAM users, roles, policies, temporary credentials and least-privilege application access.
Monitoring & Logging
Investigate alerts, changes and access failures using CloudMonitor, Simple Log Service and ActionTrail.
Automation & Repeatable Deployment
Use Terraform and ROS templates to build consistent, repeatable infrastructure deployments.
Kubernetes & Container Operations
Deploy and operate ACK workloads across networking, service exposure and scaling.
Migration & Application Transition
Plan workload dependencies, data movement, testing, cutover and rollback for migration.
Recovery & Cost Control
Plan backup and recovery, right-size resources and apply lifecycle controls with clear cost visibility.
Practical Learning Scenarios
Understand what happens between deployment and a working application.
A resource can be deployed successfully while the application remains unreachable or unable to access its dependencies. Practical exercises help participants investigate the connections between network configuration, permissions and application behavior.
Depending on the selected program, exercises may include:
Create an application network
Configure a VPC and vSwitches, establish routes and apply security controls for a sample application.
Investigate an unreachable service
Trace the expected traffic path and examine addressing, routing, security groups and application listeners.
Grant a workload the access it needs
Configure a RAM role and appropriate permissions, then review how the application obtains access to a supported service.
Deploy infrastructure from a definition
Use Terraform or ROS to create selected resources and examine how dependencies and configuration updates are handled.
Run a containerized workload
Deploy a sample application to ACK and investigate service exposure, workload status and relevant logs.
Examine an operational change
Use audit and monitoring information to investigate a scenario involving changed permissions, network settings or resource configuration.
Plan a migration cutover
Identify prerequisites, validation checks, recovery options and the sequence needed to transition a sample workload.
Training for Different Responsibilities
Give each team a relevant starting point.
Foundational sessions introduce the platform step by step. Specialist workshops may require existing networking, Linux, Kubernetes or automation knowledge.

Frequently Asked Questions
Alibaba Cloud training, clarified.
Is the training suitable for teams with AWS, Azure or Google Cloud experience?
Yes. Existing cloud knowledge provides a useful starting point. Training explains Alibaba Cloud concepts and workflows in their own context, including RAM, vSwitches, CEN and platform-specific operations.
Can we focus on networking rather than a complete cloud program?
Yes. A focused program can cover VPC design, routing, NAT, CEN, VPN connectivity and related troubleshooting.
Can training support an application migration?
Yes. Sessions can cover infrastructure dependencies, connectivity, access, migration sequencing and validation. Application-specific procedures require an agreed scope.
Will the program include hands-on exercises?
Practical work can be included according to the selected topics. Accounts, lab access, required permissions and resource costs are confirmed before training.
Can the training address deployments involving mainland China?
The program can discuss technical planning considerations such as region selection, connectivity, service availability and application dependencies. Regulatory, licensing and cross-border requirements need separate verification for the intended deployment.
Will we learn how to investigate permissions and connectivity problems?
Relevant programs can include scenarios that connect RAM permissions, network controls, routes and operational evidence to a structured troubleshooting process.
Are advanced database administration and AI engineering included?
They are separate specialist scopes. Discuss those requirements explicitly rather than assuming they are included in an infrastructure or architecture program.
How is the schedule decided?
The schedule depends on topic depth, existing knowledge, practical coverage and participant availability. Duration is agreed after the learning objectives are defined.
