This comprehensive and practical course is designed to introduce learners to the fundamental concepts, technologies, tools and services used in modern cloud computing. It equips learners with the knowledge and hands-on skills required to understand, deploy, manage and secure cloud-based resources using three leading cloud platforms: Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
The course begins with an introduction to cloud computing, its evolution, benefits, service models and deployment approaches. Learners explore essential cloud concepts, including infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), software as a service (SaaS), virtualisation, cloud storage, computing resources, networking, databases and cloud-based applications. They will understand how organisations use cloud technologies to improve scalability, flexibility, collaboration, business continuity, operational efficiency and cost management.
Through guided practical sessions, learners will gain foundational experience with the AWS Management Console, Microsoft Azure Portal and Google Cloud Console. They will explore virtual machines, cloud storage, identity and access management, virtual networks, databases, monitoring, backup and basic security configurations. The course introduces important services such as Amazon EC2, Amazon S3, AWS IAM, Azure Virtual Machines, Azure Blob Storage, Azure Entra ID, Google Compute Engine, Google Cloud Storage and Google Cloud IAM.
Learners will also develop an understanding of cloud security, access permissions, data protection, encryption, resource monitoring, cost estimation, backup strategies and disaster recovery. Practical activities will introduce learners to deploying simple cloud-based resources, managing user access, configuring storage, monitoring cloud environments and troubleshooting common cloud-related issues. The course also explores cloud automation fundamentals, containers, serverless computing and the role of cloud platforms in software development, data science, artificial intelligence and modern business operations.
By the end of the course, learners will be able to explain core cloud computing concepts, navigate major cloud platforms, deploy basic cloud resources, manage storage and access permissions, apply foundational security practices and complete a practical cloud deployment project. The course provides a strong foundation for further learning in cloud administration, cloud engineering, DevOps, cybersecurity, networking and professional cloud certifications.
