Introduction to Cloud Computing

This course breaks down cloud service models (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS) and deployment options (public, private, hybrid) with practical guidance on choosing the right mix for specific workloads based on cost, scalability, and security trade-offs. It covers enabling technologies—virtualization, containers, orchestration—and provides migration and operational practices you can use immediately to deploy, monitor, and optimize applications in production. If you need to evaluate vendors, design cost‑effective architectures, and reduce migration risk and vendor lock‑in, the course delivers hands-on decision frameworks and checklists that translate directly into actionable next steps.
