Cloud Computing Primer for Semi-tech and Business Learners

Codio

This specialization is designed for semi-technical and business learners seeking a fundamental understanding of cloud computing. Over three courses, you will delve into the three main models of cloud computing: Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). Additionally, you will explore the distinctions between public and private cloud environments and gain the knowledge to tackle more advanced IT topics.

Throughout the courses, you will compare and contrast on-premise and cloud computing, describe the advantages and disadvantages of cloud computing, and identify the defining characteristics of SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS. The modules also provide strategies for utilizing SaaS to promote growth, differentiate between platform and platform management, and explore important components when selecting a virtual machine for IaaS.
