ILT: OF300: Production System Design
This training day covers key design decisions for availability, durability, scalability, archival, and disaster recovery. We also cover techniques for deploying database configuration changes, database version upgrades and even operating system upgrades without any downtime of the database service.
Training: Production System Design (OF300)
Overview
On completion of this training day you will be able to evaluate different MongoDB cluster architectures and select an appropriate architecture to meet your production system requirements. You will have a set of skills to manually manage a cluster and back it up using basic tooling. You will also have a complete understanding of MongoDB concepts relevant to operations, which provides the foundation to explore advanced management tooling in subsequent training days.
