About Course

Welcome to Cloud Computing Essentials

Almost every app you use runs in the cloud. This course explains what “the cloud” really means, how it is sold and deployed, what the big providers offer, and how organizations keep it secure and affordable — mapped to the objectives of entry-level cloud certifications from AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud.

Each of the five modules pairs a reading lesson with a knowledge-check quiz, and the course ends with a comprehensive final certification exam (70% to pass). Your progress and results are recorded automatically.
