We’ll start this course off with the core concepts of Cloud Computing. If you have been looking to move to cloud computing, this course will help you understand the basics.

You’ll learn how to make your first cloud computing project successful, as well as best practices in security and operations. We’ll start with understanding the details of the types of clouds, including infrastructure as a service, software as a service, and platform as a service, as well as three major deployment models.

We’ll also get into the details of infrastructure as a service, such as AWS, Amazon Web Services, or Google compute engine. We’ll be able to define software as a service, such as Salesforce or Microsoft Office 365. We’ll also show you what an infrastructure as a service cloud and a software as a service cloud looks like and how to leverage them today.

Finally, we will take a look at how you can leverage cloud computing now, including evaluating applications and data that may be right for the cloud.
