About This Course
The era of buying physical servers is fading rapidly. Today, global businesses run on the cloud. Cloud computing allows organizations to rent computing power, storage, and databases on-demand, scaling instantly to meet user needs while significantly reducing hardware costs.
This course introduces the core concepts of cloud computing, including deployment models (Public, Private, Hybrid) and service models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS). You will gain hands-on experience navigating the management consoles of the "Big Three" cloud providers: AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud.
