CLDCO, Mulitcloud Cost Optimization with Cisco CloudCenter Suite is a 1-day course that teaches you how the reporting and analysis of consumption the cost optimizer provides, functions within a Cisco® CloudCenter Suite. The cost optimizer works together with two other primary mechanisms: a workload manager that helps users deploy applications and manage governance policies, and an action orchestrator that provides seamless integration and workflow automation. Through lessons and hands-on experiences, you will learn the functionality of the CloudCenter cost optimizer.
This course will help you:
- Acquire the advanced skills and techniques using the CloudCenter Suite for a consistent experience across all environments, whether you plan to deploy in the cloud or on-premises
