Building Blocks of Cloud

Deploy your application on the cloud by provisioning compute, memory, network, storage, an operating system, runtime, and app, with VMs in Mumbai and Singapore for on-demand scaling and fault tolerance.

Explore different cloud deployment models, including public, private, multi-cloud, hybrid, and multi-hybrid configurations, and understand how these deployments shape cloud consumption.

Explore how private cloud brings cloud features to a company’s own data center, using OpenStack or VMware to autoscale, provide APIs or UI, and restrict access to selected users.

Deploy applications across multiple public clouds to prevent downtime. Use Kubernetes to efficiently configure multi cloud setups and balance costs between providers like AWS and Azure.

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.

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.

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.

Explore the cloud service model and the categories of infra service, platform as a service, and software as a service. Understand how these services are consumed across different cloud deployments.

Explore infrastructure as a service (iaas) by provisioning virtual machines and other resources via web or api, with provider terms like droplets, ec2, and instances.

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.

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.

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.

Explore virtualization as the heart of cloud computing, showing how hypervisors create isolated virtual machines from shared physical resources, with examples like KVM, VirtualBox, and Hyper-V.

Explore containerization as a lightweight alternative to virtualization that runs multiple isolated applications on a single operating system, using container engines like Docker and Podman, enabling portable cloud-ready deployment.

Discover software defined storage by combining disks from multiple machines into a single scalable storage pool, exposed as block storage to apps and virtual machines using Ceph, GlusterFS, or vSAN.

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.

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.

Explore serverless computing as a cost-efficient paradigm by deploying functions in the cloud and paying only for execution, with examples like AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, and Google Cloud Functions.

Automate infrastructure with infrastructure as code using terraform and ansible across cloud and private environments, codifying resources and enabling repeatable deployments with terraform apply and destroy.

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.

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.

Learn cloud migration strategies through assessment, planning, rehosting, refactoring, and data migration to optimize cost. Align deployments with use cases, migrate from virtual machines to containers, and implement best practices.

Learn budgeting and forecasting to prevent last-minute cloud cost surprises, implement cost optimization by removing unused resources, and use governance, accountability, and automation to monitor and control cloud consumption.

Understand the shared responsibility model in cloud security, where customers manage identity and access, providers secure infrastructure, with encryption at rest and in transit, and gdpr or hipaa compliance.

Master one cloud to leverage the same building blocks, gain hands-on projects, and pursue 1–2 introductory certifications for real-world readiness.

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.
