Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is a modern approach to delivering IT services and resources over the internet, eliminating the need for organizations and individuals to invest in or maintain physical infrastructure such as servers, storage systems, and networking equipment. Instead, users can access computing power, storage, databases, software, and other digital services on-demand from cloud providers like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and others.

What You'll Learn

1. Understand the concept of cloud computing, including its definition, key characteristics, and real-world applications.
2. Identify and differentiate between the main service models: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS).
3. Recognize the different cloud deployment models: public, private, hybrid, and community cloud, and understand when to use each.
4. Explain the benefits and challenges of cloud computing, including cost efficiency, scalability, security, and data privacy concerns.
5. Describe the role of major cloud service providers (e.g., AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud) and the services they offer.
6. Demonstrate basic navigation and usage of cloud services, such as creating a virtual machine or deploying an application (if hands-on is included).
7. Apply cloud computing knowledge to business or personal tech projects, making informed decisions on selecting cloud services.
