Cloud Computing Essentials

Course Overview

Many people hear about cloud computing every day but still feel confused about what it really means. They see terms like public cloud, private cloud, or SaaS and feel unsure how these ideas fit together. Because of this confusion, they struggle to follow IT changes at work or plan a future role in technology. This lack of clarity often blocks career growth and confidence.

This course removes that confusion. It explains cloud computing in a clear and simple way. You will first learn why cloud computing exists and why organisations now rely on it. Then, you will explore what cloud computing means in real terms. The course explains key ideas step by step, without complex language. You will understand how costs differ between traditional systems and cloud models. This helps you see why businesses move to the cloud.

You will also learn about public, private, and hybrid clouds. Each type is explained with its features and use cases. The course then introduces IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS. These service models often confuse beginners, but here they are explained clearly with examples. You will also learn key terms, shared responsibility, and economies of scale. By the end, cloud computing will feel logical and easy to follow. This course builds strong foundations for anyone starting an IT or cloud journey.
