Intermediate Level of Cloud Computing
Department of Information and Communications Technology
Enrollment in this course is by invitation only
Course Overview
In this course, we will learn about how to build the fundamental components of cloud applications. It is recommended that you have gone through the basic cloud computing course before you go through this one if you haven’t done that already. I’ll walk you through how to provision compute resources, create storage, work with data, and develop basic AI – all done in a cloud platform. We’ll talk about some of the services within each category and we’ll look at what that service is, when to use it, and how to actually create it. We’ll be using the Microsoft Azure Cloud Platform for this course, as it is the platform I have personal access to, so I can show you how to provision resources firsthand.
At the end of this course, we’ll look at some resources you can use to further your learning.
What You Will Learn
At the end of this course, you will be able to:
- determine which cloud services to use given their use case
- practice on how to provision cloud services
