Curriculum
ACP-002 — 6-Module Programme
- Fundamentals of cloud networking — IP addressing, CIDR, routing protocols, and DNS resolution in Alibaba Cloud
- VPC architecture — VPCs, VRouters, VSwitches, route tables, and route entries for multi-tier network design
- Security Groups vs Network ACLs — stateful/stateless filtering, inbound/outbound rules, and best practices
- VPC peering and inter-VPC communication principles for same-region and cross-region scenarios
- SLB Layer 4 and Layer 7 — TCP, UDP, HTTP, HTTPS listeners, session persistence, health checks
- NAT Gateway SNAT and DNAT rules for private VPC internet access and internal service exposure
- EIP management — binding to ECS/NAT/SLB, bandwidth limits, traffic throttling, and EIP groups
- Combining SLB, NAT, and EIP in multi-tier architectures for secure internet-facing deployments
- Multi-path internet access design — EIP, NAT Gateway, and SLB for different application tiers
- Anti-DDoS integration with EIP for volumetric attack mitigation and traffic scrubbing
- CDN acceleration with ECS and OSS backends — HTTPS, cache policies, and back-to-source rules
- Bandwidth optimisation — shared bandwidth packages, burstable bandwidth, and billing models
- VPN Gateway — IPSec VPN tunnels connecting Alibaba Cloud VPCs to on-premises data centres
- SSL VPN for remote access — certificates, user authentication, split tunnelling, and route-based access
- Smart Access Gateway (SAG) — SD-WAN for branch office connectivity and zero-touch provisioning
- Hybrid design patterns — Active/Standby and Active/Active VPN with Express Connect for critical deployments
- Cloud Enterprise Network (CEN) — Transit Router, bandwidth packages, and cross-region VPC interconnection
- CEN routing — route learning, route maps, prefix list filtering, and inter-region route propagation
- Global Accelerator — acceleration areas, listeners, endpoint groups, and routing strategies
- Case study: Cross-region e-commerce using CEN + Global Accelerator for worldwide low-latency access
- Design principles — HA, disaster recovery, active-active, and active-standby cross-region architectures
- Combining CEN, SAG, VPN, Express Connect, and EIP in complex enterprise network topologies
- Network monitoring — CloudMonitor for VPN tunnel state, SLB health, NAT SNAT table, and flow logs
- Cost optimisation — bandwidth sharing, VPC flow logs, WAF integration, and IAM for network resources
