34 modules · Beginner

A complete, practical, beginner-to-advanced course in cloud computing. Start with cloud fundamentals and service models, then compute, storage, networking, and databases (primarily on AWS, with Azure and Google Cloud comparisons throughout), then identity and cloud security, then containers, serverless, and Infrastructure as Code, then multi-cloud and hybrid architecture patterns, and finish with cost optimization, governance, and cloud career paths. Learning by doing throughout, with six hands-on projects culminating in a capstone: architecting, deploying, securing, and cost-optimizing a complete, realistic cloud application.
