Cloud Computing Fundamentals
Description
Essential foundation covering cloud computing concepts, deployment models, service models, and fundamental terminology required for understanding modern cloud technologies.
Learning Objectives
Learners will understand core cloud computing concepts including deployment models (public, private, hybrid, multi-cloud), service models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS), shared responsibility models, scalability, elasticity, and fundamental cloud terminology. They will be able to differentiate between traditional on-premises infrastructure and cloud-based solutions.
Topics (8)
Comprehensive coverage of deployment models including benefits, limitations, and business scenarios for each model.
Detailed exploration of service models, shared responsibility matrix, and practical applications of each service model.
Technical concepts of scaling strategies, elasticity patterns, and automatic resource adjustment mechanisms.
Financial aspects of cloud adoption including cost models, TCO calculations, and budget planning for cloud services.
Concepts of fault tolerance, redundancy, disaster recovery planning, and SLA considerations in cloud environments.
Fundamental networking concepts essential for cloud computing including global infrastructure, edge computing, and content delivery networks.
Strategic aspects of digital transformation, change management, and how cloud technologies facilitate business innovation and modernization.
Overview of cloud computing evolution, key characteristics, and business benefits of cloud adoption.
