Course Description

The 2nd most popular search result for "Cloud Computing" on Google states that 'Cloud computing' is a broad term used to describe hosting services via the Internet.' However, this definition is utterly incorrect. The course is intended to dispel the numerous misconceptions surrounding Cloud Computing and to give an unambiguous and simple explanation of what exactly Cloud Computing is and how it operates and the various options that are that are available, the benefits offered and the amount it's likely to cost. It's not just going to teach you the basics, but I'll show you concrete examples that you can use to guide to understand what Cloud Computing operates in real-world scenarios. The first step is an overview in Module 1 that outlines the conventional methods of deployment such as On Premises and Colo so you'll be able to comprehend the ways in which Cloud alters things. I then I will explain the way server virtualisation changed the design of data centers and opened the way to Cloud. Module 2 describes Cloud Computing by listingthe Essential characteristics that define Cloud services. Learn about Cloud Service Models such as Cloud Service Models ofIaaS, PaaS, SaaS, andXaaS in Module 3. I begin with an overview of the various models, and then go into the specifics and options of each. Ialso provide lab demonstrations on how you can deploy the different model. The Cloud deployment Models of Public Cloud, Private Cloud, Hybrid Cloud and Community Cloud are discussed within Module 4. In Module 5 I will outline the benefits that come with Cloud Computing as well as provide a spreadsheet to show you how to perform an TCOcost comparison when deciding between the On Premise as well as Cloud deployment for real-world workload. A valid certificate of completion confirming that you've completed the training will be given at the conclusion this course. This will show prospective employers that you possess the fundamental cloud knowledge required to become a productive part of their IT team and also the desire to continue your training and become a valuable an asset to their business.
