Exasol Administration on Azure
About This Course
We discuss Exasol Cluster Database deployment on Azure here.
You should attend the course Exasol Administration Essentials before this course as it explains several administration topics that are not platform specific.
We cover the following topics:
- Exasol Cluster Installation on Azure using Cloud Deployment Wizard
- Scale up & down your Azure instances
- Scale out by adding cluster nodes
- Increase storage capacity on Azure
- Fail Safety on Azure
- Backup & Restore on Azure
The course contains videos, quizzes and lots of hands-on exercises. Within the hands-on exercises, you will install a 2+1 Cluster on Azure. Azure credentials are not provided by Exasol. Either your company provides them to you or you need to create your own account on Azure for this course. Be aware that Microsoft requires credit card details for that purpose. The Azure resources consumed by this course are quite low and will probably not cause charges over 10 Euro per day. One day duration is usually enough to do all labs.
