SVAD 260 - Systems Automation and Orchestration
PREREQUISITES: SVAD 150 - Cloud Foundations and (NETI 104 - Introduction to Networking or NETI 109 - Networking I )
PROGRAM: Cloud Technologies
CREDIT HOURS MIN: 3
LECTURE HOURS MIN: 2
LAB HOURS MIN: 2
TOTAL CONTACT HOURS MIN: 4
DATE OF LAST REVISION: Fall 2025
Systems Automation and Orchestration progresses from scripting specific tasks (automation) to coordinating processes (orchestration). Utilizing industry standard tools, students will undertake hands-on analysis and development of the skills needed to provide enterprise level systems administration. Identifying key manual tasks in local and cloud-based systems, the student learns how to automate them, identify processes that integrate multiple tasks together, and then orchestrate those processes both within and between systems.
MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course the student will be expected to:- Assess the use of automation and orchestration tools current within the industry, focusing on use case scenarios and best practices.
- Evaluate the use of automation tools in both local and cloud computing infrastructures.
- Identify key tasks appropriate for automation and implement scripts to structure process- centered solutions.
- Design an orchestration solution that includes but is not limited to offering increased efficiency, security, visibility, and scalability.
- Orchestrate a virtual infrastructure implementing the provisioning and management of an infrastructure for a single or multi-cloud environment.
COURSE CONTENT: Topical areas of study include - - Scripting such as Python, Powershell, BASH, kubectl
- Automation through Ansible, Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, or similar tools
- Container orchestration through Docker, Kubernetes, Amazon ECS, or similar tools
- Workflow automation and orchestration tools
- Managing IT systems at scale for both physical and virtual machines
- Analysis of real world IT problems and implementation strategies
- Use of GIT, or similar version control tools
