Cloud Computing: Understanding Core Concepts
I gained a clear understanding of cloud computing and its practical benefits, including scalable capacity, cost efficiency, and operational agility. I learned to differentiate between cloud models —SaaS, IaaS, and PaaS —and understand their characteristics and use cases. The course emphasized planning a cloud migration, selecting the right provider, and identifying which data and applications to move. I also learned key security considerations, tools for cloud monitoring and management, and best practices for day-to-day operations and advanced cloud strategies. Real-world examples and case studies helped illustrate these concepts and the steps necessary for a successful migration.
