About

Are you currently performing a project manager, product manager, SCRUM master, or other business role and wish you knew more about what the technical team is talking about? Do you wish someone would take the time to explain what cloud computing is, why it's great, and what to look out for when working on a cloud project? This course is for people who are not programmers or network operators but do work in a technical environment and want to learn more about the terms that technical people use.

The core course covers:

What is cloud computing?

The most common jargon terms you'll face

Who are the big cloud providers?

What services do they offer?

The big benefits including cost and time savings

How to calculate cost savings

New approaches to designing apps in the cloud

How to organize project teams

Common issues with migration

The shared responsibility model for security

This course is NOT for people who are already deeply technical on the developmental or operational side. Of course, the author welcomes everyone into this course equally; just don't expect a deeply technical discussion of cloud computing. This course really does aim to simplify the jargon, terms, and architecture of cloud computing as much as possible to allow business people and technical people to speak a common language.
