About this course

Why take this course?

This course is a 101 on cloud computing. It takes you through the fundamentals of the cloud, covering all the important aspects of developing and deploying applications on a cloud platform.

The course is platform-agnostic and the concepts discussed apply to all the cloud platforms, be it AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, IBM Cloud, Netlify or any other. Once you are done with this course, you’ll have a thorough understanding of the basic concepts of the cloud.

After having spent a decade in the industry writing code, I firmly believe that every software engineer should have knowledge of cloud computing. It’s the present and the future of application development and deployment.

Be it on-premises or on a public cloud, every business prefers to run its services on cloud infrastructure due to multiple technical and economic reasons, which we will discuss in detail in this course. There is an ever-rising demand for cloud experts and having the knowledge of cloud computing gives you an edge over other engineers.

This course does not contain any code; instead, it includes a lot of illustrations to help you understand the concepts better. After going through this course, you’ll have all the required knowledge about the fundamentals of the cloud. You will be able to directly move onto more advanced courses in the domain such as DevOps, Cloud Architecture, and so on.
