Course content

5 sections • 58 lectures • 4h 58m total length

  • What is Cloud?9:50

    Explore cloud computing, where on-demand self-service, broad network access, resource pooling, rapid elasticity, and measured service let you rent scalable infrastructure from providers like AWS, Azure, and GCP.

  • Cloud vs On-premise6:54

    Compare cloud versus on-premise infrastructure in cost, provisioning, scalability, and security. Cloud uses pay-as-you-go pricing, automatic scaling, and regional data replication, while on-premise requires in-house maintenance, upgrades, and full control.

  • IaaS vs PaaS vs SaaS7:06

    Explore IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS, detailing who manages facilities, networking, the operating system, and runtime, with examples like virtual machines, managed databases, Google App Engine, Gmail, and Office 365.

  • Career in Cloud4:00

    Explore a career in cloud computing as demand for cloud experts grows in private and public sectors, and learn how certifications demonstrate competence and unify knowledge across teams.

  • Cloud Market Share3:31

    Explore how the cloud market is shaped by AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform, including current shares, growth trends, and multi-cloud considerations for choosing the right provider.

Requirements

  • Basic understanding of computer concepts
  • Computer with internet connection to create accounts on AWS, Azure & GCP and experiment with their service offerings

Description

Getting started with cloud technologies can be daunting with the number of cloud providers in the market and also hundreds of services, in the form of building blocks, offered by each cloud provider. But it is important to understand these services or building blocks which are used to create and deploy any type of application in the cloud. Also, cloud providers offer on-demand computing resources and services in the cloud, with pay-as-you-go pricing which saves cost. So, every organization is migrating to the cloud in order to save money.

This course is an introductory level course for understanding the cloud technology concepts and gives a detailed introduction to the three largest cloud providers: Amazon Web Service (AWS), Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).


Summary of the course:

  • The course is divided into 5 main sections.

  • In the first section, we will look at basic cloud concepts and compare cloud with the alternative self-hosted IT infrastructure. We will understand the difference between Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS).

  • In the following three sections, we will introduce each of the three public cloud providers in detail: Amazon Web Service (AWS), Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

  • In each of these section, we will take a look at the brief history of the cloud provider and its reach with its global infrastructure. As this is a beginner level course, we will go through step-by-step instructions on creating a new account on the cloud providers' web portal. After that we will take a quick tour of the portal.

  • We will go through all the categories of services provided by the cloud provider and core services in each category. We will design a simple architecture using the core services we learned to understand how cloud can be used in real world scenarios.

  • For experimenting with services, each cloud provider offers 'Free Tier' either limited by time or amount of usage after creating a new account. It is important to understand the free tier limits to minimize the cost and optimize the usage.

  • We will look at ways of interacting with the cloud provider services and their infrastructure like API, CLI and SDK.

  • For those who are interested in learning more about the cloud provider or cloud technology in general, I’ll list some podcast, blog and events that I recommend.

  • For those interested in certifications, we will look at the official certification offered by each cloud provider and figure out which certification path you should choose.

  • And in the final section of the course, we will compare the three cloud providers and discuss which one to use in a particular use case.
