Welcome

Welcome to Cloud Computing ☁️

Cloud computing lets you rent computing power, storage, and services over the internet—so you can build and scale applications without managing physical servers. In this course, you’ll learn the core ideas, the major providers, and how to design resilient, cost-effective systems in the cloud.

What you’ll learn

Foundations: IaaS vs PaaS vs SaaS, regions & availability zones

Core services: compute, storage, databases, networking, identity

Architecture basics: scalability, reliability, security, cost optimization

Hands-on skills: deploying an app, storing data, and monitoring it

Who this is for

Developers, ops engineers, and curious learners who want to build, ship, and scale faster.

What you’ll need

A modern browser and a free account on a major cloud provider (AWS, Azure, or GCP).

Basic command-line and Git familiarity (helpful but not required).

Outcomes

By the end, you’ll be able to:

Choose the right cloud service for a problem

Deploy and observe a simple app

Apply best practices for security and cost
