Get familiar with the basics of cloud computing.

Become an Azure Expert

We are surrounded by the technology that we utilize daily. Most of it makes use of cloud computing. Cloud has now become the norm. As software practitioners, it’s imperative to have a good understanding of cloud computing concepts. 

In this module, we’ll learn the fundamental concepts of cloud computing. Next, we’ll familiarize ourselves with the cloud’s standard services. We’ll also learn about various service models available in cloud computing. We’ll learn the concepts of clustering and its relevance in cloud computing. We’ll explore storage and deployment concepts in the cloud. We’ll wrap up with a hands-on experience of how to pick a cloud platform and start our cloud journey. In the end, we’ll have plenty of resources to continue our cloud learning journey.

By the end of this module, we’ll have a deeper understanding of the basic concepts of cloud computing and the services and products that cloud platforms offer.
