In this course, you learn troubleshooting skills to support the implementation and lifecycle management of NetApp® StorageGRID® software. Through theoretical explanations and hands-on exercises, you learn and control the architecture, options, services, and features of the StorageGRID system. You learn the security and authentication mechanisms, logging and monitoring resources, and Apache Cassandra implementation. You also learn the processes to
expand and upgrade the system. Finally, you learn about FabricPool technology and investigate Simple Storage Service (S3) issues.
