Cloud Computing
Before attempting to implement Cloud technologies, you first need to understand what it is exactly and what options are available. This lesson covers a wide range of Cloud-related topics and provides you with a solid foundation of knowledge.
We will start by looking at what Cloud Computing is and describing the three main types: Public, Private and Hybrid. Then we will look at key concepts and the different service models (including IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS). Finally, we will discuss common use case scenarios as well as the differences between a traditional on-premises data center.
