Reasons to learn Cloud Computing could be mostly:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
- It\u2019s a buzz word and lots of job openings in Cloud Computing domain<\/li>
- Looking for job change and it looks a better opportunity<\/li>
- It\u2019s another update\/upgrade of skill sets with the present development in this field<\/li>
- Want to contribute in migrating from on-prem to Cloud in my current project<\/li>
- It\u2019s in demand and high pay is another reason to learn Cloud Computing<\/li>
- And many more.\u00a0<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
What I have observed is almost every company is trying their hands-on in Cloud Services. Be it a product based company or a consulting company. Either it\u2019s a Data Science team or Networking team or DevOps teams, everyone is trying to use the solutions which involve Cloud Computing technologies in one or other way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They are even asking the questions related to Cloud Computing or related to AWS, Azure etc to freshers in campus interview. It’s like spices which you need to know how much and which spice to add to cook a delicious cuisine. I bet learning Cloud Computing won’t go in vain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What should I learn in Cloud Computing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Well, you may ask what are the key topics that you should understand in Cloud Computing?
Please note that I am just writing common terminologies as a reference. I would definitely explain Cloud concepts in my upcoming video on Cloud Computing Primer<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe simple answer is you should learn below Cloud Computing topics at the least, but not limited to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- What is Cloud Computing
- Go through the literal meaning of Cloud computing.\u00a0<\/li>
- Try to understand how it is different from traditional on-premise models.\u00a0<\/li>
- Why it became necessary for many companies to move to the cloud.\u00a0<\/li>
- How pricing models work in cloud environment<\/li><\/ol><\/li>
- Why one should implement Cloud computing and in which conditions<\/li>
- Advantages and disadvantages of using cloud computing<\/li>
- What are the various Delivery\/Service models in Cloud Computing.\u00a0
- IaaS<\/li>
- PaaS<\/li>
- SaaS<\/li>
- FaaS\/BaaS<\/li>
- XaaS<\/li><\/ol><\/li>
- What are the types of Cloud Computing
- Public<\/li>
- Private<\/li>
- Hybrid<\/li>
- Community<\/li><\/ol><\/li>
- Storage concepts<\/li>
- Networking concepts
Well basics of networking knowledge would help you here. But mainly you need to understand how Virtual private cloud works, what is subnet, Network Access control lists and its uses, concept of security group<\/li> - Different Compute models and when to use which one.<\/li>
- Cloud Native Development
- Just go through what 12 factor app is<\/li>
- Go through some basic concepts of Microservices and how it works. How it is different from a monolithic approach.<\/li><\/ol><\/li>
- How and why security matters the most in Cloud Computing<\/a>
- Cloud security<\/a> is one of the most important aspects in the cloud world<\/li>
- See how shared security responsibility model works<\/li><\/ol><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Learn any of the fast growing cloud service providers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Once you are familiar with common terminologies and functions of Cloud Computing. It will surely give you good hands-on over what you learned previously about Cloud Computing basics. Also, it would help you get good job offers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From where you should learn Cloud Computing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Ok, let\u2019s assume you have decided to learn Cloud Computing basics and then would explore further based on your interest or current role. So, you would ask from where I should learn Cloud Computing fundamentals first. Well the answer is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Video Courses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
You can go through a few Online Courses. Majority of these are freely available or at very minimal cost. I would recommend below course(s) to go through at least:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Introduction to Cloud Computing offered by IBM through Coursera<\/a>. I would highly recommend this.\u00a0<\/li>
- Fundamentals of Cloud Computing in Pluralsight<\/a><\/li>
- Fundamentals of Cloud Computing<\/a> in Udemy (Free)<\/li>
- In case, you want to go a little deeper to understand Cloud Computing in terms of operations, management security overview. You should try Cloud Computing Specialization Course<\/a> offered by University of Illinois through Coursera<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Learning from a few blogs, youtube videos as per your interest in the topic would make your learning easier, but above courses should suffice the needs to learn basics of cloud computing. You can learn various Cloud computing courses based on Azure, AWS and GCP from Flexmind online courses<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
