Course details

Migrating to the cloud? Get an overview of cloud computing and the key concepts to consider when deploying cloud solutions in your business.

When you use cloud computing, you can get extra capacity online and ready for use minutes after you need it, then scale back down just as easily. David Linthicum—an internationally known cloud expert and consultant—showcases the impact this technology can have on your cost efficiency, agility, and more—as well as how to select and deploy the best cloud solution for your use case.

David explains how to select a cloud provider and plan a migration, offering real-life examples and case studies to illustrate key steps. He reviews the security considerations, typical day-to-day operations, and tools that IT administrators need to keep their cloud-based infrastructure up and running, as well as advanced cloud operations approaches and technologies. David concludes with a thorough discussion of cloud computing migration planning.

    As a complete beginner to the cloud computing field I was able to grasp the key areas (at least during the time of doing this course) that I need to know and study. This provided me with the foundation and direction I have to go for bettering my knowledge in cloud computing. I do recommend other to not just watch the videos of the course but also do your own research use other sources to truly grasp the concepts of cloud computing.
