Cloud Computing Course

 

Cloud Computing Course Overview

cloud computing is the delivery of computing services servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, intelligence and more over the Internet (“the cloud”) to offer faster innovation, flexible resources and economies of scale. You typically pay only for cloud services you use, helping lower your operating costs, run your infrastructure more efficiently and scale as your business needs change.

Most cloud computing services are provided self service and on demand, so even vast amounts of computing resources can be provisioned in minutes, typically with just a few mouse clicks, giving businesses a lot of flexibility and taking the pressure off capacity planning.

In the simplest terms, cloud computing means storing and accessing data and programs over the Internet instead of your computer’s hard drive. The cloud is just a metaphor for the Internet. The cloud is also not about having a dedicated network attached storage (NAS) hardware or server

Individual who have interest in cloud and experience to improve skill set can take up the course

Basic computer skills are required. Familiarity with the concept of cloud computing and storage is helpful.

You get opportunities as developer in IT companies like flipkart, AWS, IBM, Bank of America, ANZ bank and more. 

The concepts covered in the course are Introduction to Cloud Computing, Delivering services from the cloud, Adopting the Cloud, Evaluating barriers to cloud computing, Exploiting Software as a Service (SaaS), Comparing service scenarios, Inspecting SaaS technologies, Delivering Platform as a Service (PaaS),Building services with solution stacks, Managing cloud storage, Employing support services, Deploying Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Accessing IaaS, Building a Business Case, Preserving business continuity, Migrating to the Cloud, Planning the migration
