Cloud Computing has emerged in recent years as a new paradigm for hosting and delivering
services over the Internet.
Cloud Computing has transformed the IT industry by opening the possibility for infinite or at least
highly elastic scalability in the delivery of enterprise applications and services. The Cloud
computing course is designed to make you an expert in cloud applications and architecture. It will
enable you to master the core skillsets required for designing and deploying dynamically scalable,
highly available, fault-tolerant, and reliable applications on two of the top Cloud platform
Course providers; Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure. The program will give an in-depth
Descriptio understanding of cloud services such as AWS Cloud formation, Azure resource manager, EC2, S3,
Azure App Services and more. You will acquire the knowledge and skills for passing cloud
n
architect certifications such as AWS Architect and Azure Architect.
This course is designed to introduce the concepts of Cloud Computing as a new computing
paradigm. The students will have an opportunity to explore the Cloud Computing various
terminology, principles, and applications. The course will expose students to different views of
understanding the Cloud Computing such as theoretical, technical, and commercial aspects. A
variety of real case studies and existing in market cloud- based tools will be identified and studied
to provide students with a close overview to Cloud Computing applications.
