This course introduces technical roles in the AWS Cloud and explains why the Public Cloud Computing model is the new normal. The instructors teach some of the terminologies that are needed to start a Cloud learning journey, covering topics such as the difference between IaaS, PaaS and SaaS, Cloud Computing models (Public, Private and Hybrid Cloud), what are APIs (and why they are important), elasticity, horizontal and vertical scaling.
