About this course
This course develops practical capability in Cloud Computing Fundamentals. Its course-specific content covers Cloud service models, Regions and availability, Compute and storage, Networks and identity, followed by an applied project focused on compare deployment options for a small business application. The lessons include concrete configuration, design, testing or operational decisions appropriate to the subject.
Who this is for
Learners starting in cloud computing and professionals who want an organized foundation before more advanced work.
Before you start
Basic computer literacy and comfort using the relevant operating system. No prior production experience is assumed; any lab accounts or software are confirmed before training.
Compare deployment options for a small business application
Deliver compare deployment options for a small business application. Use the module outcomes to state requirements, demonstrate a working result, test an expected failure or boundary case, and document assumptions and follow-up work.
