Course overview
Cloud Computing: From Beginner to Practical Cloud Professional is a free, beginner-friendly course that explains how modern cloud systems work in clear, practical language. You will learn the core ideas that transfer across AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud rather than memorising one provider's interface.
The course covers cloud service models, regions and availability zones, virtual machines, storage, networking, identity and access management, shared responsibility, databases, containers, Kubernetes concepts, serverless computing, monitoring, backup and disaster recovery, scalability, high availability, cost management, infrastructure as code, DevOps and hybrid/multi-cloud thinking.
Each lesson connects technology to real business decisions. By the end, you will be able to read a simple cloud architecture, choose suitable services for common workloads, identify security and cost risks, explain reliability trade-offs and design a small portfolio-ready cloud solution. No previous cloud or IT infrastructure experience is required.
