CURRICULUM

What you'll learn in this course

1

Foundations of Computing and Cloud Infrastructure

Build your foundation: Go from zero to cloud-ready so you can confidently discuss cloud architecture in interviews

We start by demystifying the technology that powers everything around you. You'll understand how computer hardware actually works - from CPUs that process information to memory that stores it and storage that keeps it safe. We'll break down the difference between software and hardware so you can speak confidently about both. Then we dive into operating systems, the invisible layer that makes everything work together. From there, we introduce you to the game-changing world of cloud computing through virtualization concepts, showing you why companies like Netflix moved from physical servers to the cloud. You'll explore major cloud providers and understand the models and benefits that make cloud computing the backbone of modern business, culminating with your first hands-on introduction to AWS core services.
