In order to utilize cloud computing, systems need to be connected to cloud data platforms. AWS, Azure, and GCP are the three big competitors in the cloud data platform space. Furthermore, cloud computing also has its own set of challenges that need to be understood, in order to apply it properly and without issues. Use this course to learn about some of the available cloud data platforms. Discover cloud analytics, available cloud analytics tools, and the pros and cons of each platform. Explore the current challenges of cloud computing, along with what the future looks like for cloud computing technology. When you've completed this course, your newfound knowledge of cloud data platforms, analytics tools, and the challenges related to cloud computing will help you decide on the right fit for your organization.

Cloud computing has revolutionized the way we build, deploy, and maintain applications. Due to this paradigm shift, many businesses now rent rather than own IT infrastructure. This new way of approaching infrastructure requirements has given way to multiple cloud computing models, such as Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), and Function as a Service (FaaS). Knowing what your options are for cloud computing can help you choose the best models for your needs. Use this course to gain a solid foundational understanding of cloud computing. Compare various cloud service providers based on services, available tools, and pricing. Learn about real-life use cases for cloud computing and how businesses can benefit from this ever-evolving technological feat. When you've completed this course, your newfound knowledge of cloud computing will help you decide how it can help your business.

Cloud-based applications have now become a norm due to zero upfront costs and ease of management. Deployment of cloud-based applications can get a digital product to a wide market without the need to purchase costly server equipment and hire hardware professionals. Use this course to learn about the characteristics of cloud-ready applications and the different concepts, tools, and techniques related to deploying and managing cloud applications. Start by discovering key concepts related to cloud storage technologies and platforms. You'll also examine and compare Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) and Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3). Finally, you'll get a chance to explore data centers and their major types. After you've finished this course, you'll be able to identify cloud-ready applications and implement tools and solutions to make them ready for cloud deployment.
