Course Overview

Cloud computing has transformed how businesses operate by providing scalable, on-demand computing resources without the need for extensive on-premises infrastructure. As organizations shift towards cloud-based solutions, understanding fundamental cloud concepts becomes essential. The AZ-900 - Basics of Cloud Computing course is designed for beginners who want to grasp core cloud principles, deployment models, and service categories, ensuring a strong foundation in modern cloud technology.

This course begins with an introduction to cloud computing, its benefits, and the fundamental differences between Capital Expenditure (CapEx) and Operational Expenditure (OpEx). It explores the three primary cloud deployment models—public, private, and hybrid clouds, highlighting their characteristics and use cases. Learners will then dive into Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS), understanding their applications in real-world scenarios. Additionally, key cloud concepts such as economies of scale and essential terminology are covered to provide a comprehensive understanding of cloud adoption.

By completing this course, learners will gain foundational knowledge of cloud computing, understand cloud service models, and be prepared to explore advanced cloud concepts or certifications.
