Who should learn about Cloud Computing ?2:02
How Cloud Computing was started?2:41
Explore how Amazon's online book business birthed cloud computing by using peak traffic servers and idle capacity, leading to Amazon Web Services with EC2 instances and on-demand database.
Introduction and Course Overview

Overview0:42
Explore different cloud deployment models, including public, private, multi-cloud, hybrid, and multi-hybrid configurations, and understand how these deployments shape cloud consumption.
Public Cloud1:32
Private Cloud1:47
Multi Cloud1:31
Hybrid Cloud2:17
Explore the hybrid cloud, combining public and private clouds to scale during promotions, reduce costs, keep confidential data in private clouds, and serve customers through the public cloud.
Multi Hybrid Cloud0:48
Explore a multi hybrid cloud approach that combines multiple public clouds with a private cloud to ensure 24x7 availability for critical system, and due diligence before configuring this complex setup.
Cloud Providers0:45
Explore cloud deployment models, including public cloud, private cloud, and multi-cloud hybrid clouds. Review AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, and Digital Ocean, and learn private cloud setup with OpenStack.
Cloud Deployment Models

Overview1:22
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)2:44
Platform as a Service (PaaS)2:07
Learn how platform as a service (paas) lets you deploy code while the cloud handles infrastructure and scalability. Connect git or container registry and deploy with pay per resource usage.
Software as a Service (SaaS)1:17
Explore software as a service (SaaS) in cloud computing, where you access applications like Gmail, Canva, or Zoom via monthly, weekly, or daily fees without coding or scaling concerns.
Cloud Service Model - Comparison2:07
Cloud Service Model

Overview1:15
Explore the core cloud building blocks: virtualization, containerization, software-defined storage and networking, object storage, serverless, and infra as code, and learn how these technologies underpin public and private clouds.
Virtualization3:40
Containerization5:59
Software Defined Storage (SDS)3:44
Software Defined Networking (SDN)1:48
Explore software defined networking (SDN) as the dynamic control layer in the cloud, enabling on-demand network devices for apps running on containers or virtual machines with Openflow, Opendaylight.
Object Storage3:23
Explore object storage as a scalable, flat hierarchy solution for unstructured data with unique identification and metadata, following a write-once, read-many pattern, with examples like Amazon S3.
Serverless3:23
Infrastructure as a Code6:04

What is Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF)?3:00
Discover how cloud native tools enable seamless cloud adoption, featuring containers, service meshes, microservices, immutable infra, and declarative APIs, guided by the CNCF under the Linux Foundation.
CNCF Landscape2:35
Explore the CNCF landscape by category, from CI/CD and image build with Helm and Backstage to scheduling with Kubernetes, and service mesh with Istio and Linkerd.
Cloud Native Computing Foundation

Master any one of the Cloud1:38
Cloud and AI2:45
Master Kubernetes2:10
Master Kubernetes, the container orchestration tool that scales workloads, self-heals, and is accessible via API or CLI across public, private, and on-prem clouds with Google Anthos and common Kubernetes objects.
Ebook: Masteting Cloud Careers0:27
Here is a copy of the e-book I have published to help anyone to start their cloud journey and succeed in the tech world.
