Description

This comprehensive course provides an in-depth introduction to Apache Cassandra administration, equipping system administrators and database professionals with the skills necessary to manage and maintain large-scale, distributed databases. Apache Cassandra is an open-source NoSQL database designed for scalability, high availability, and performance, making it ideal for applications that require massive amounts of data and continuous uptime.The course covers the essential concepts of Cassandra architecture, installation, and configuration, followed by key operational topics such as backup and recovery, monitoring, security, and troubleshooting. Students will gain basic hands-on experience with installation, configuration, commands practice, protection and security of Cassandra while learning to deploy clusters effectively in on-premises environments. Participants will learn the architecture, configuration, and operational aspects of Cassandra, including how to design and manage a distributed database system.Key Topics Include:Introduction to NoSQL databases and CassandraCassandra architecture Installation and configuration of Cassandra clustersBackup and recovery strategiesMonitoring  Cassandra Security best practices in CassandraDeploy ClustersThe course does not cover performance tuning, managing clusters, Cassandra in cloud etc and these topics will be covered in part 2.By the end of this course, participants will be equipped to administer and optimize Apache Cassandra databases in a single node, ensuring  reliability in production environments.
