Register TodayCloud Computing Course
The cloud computing course serves as an introduction for students who are new to the world of cloud computing. Through this course, students will become familiar with public cloud tools and concepts. The course will also provide students with an overview of the three major cloud computing services: AWS, Azure and GCP. Students will learn to perform basic tasks and functions on each of these platforms. Upon completion of the program, students will be comfortable with creating a cloud-based instance, connecting to it, managing and monitoring it on each of the major cloud computing services. This class is designed for people who have little or no prior experience with cloud technologies. System administrators, developers, and architects new to the cloud can all benefit from the content covered in this class, especially if they are looking to evaluate which cloud technologies might be the best fit for their organization.
Cloud computing professionals looking to learn more and certify their skills will benefit from the following Ashton College courses:

Certification in Cloud Computing
Certifications are highly valued in the tech sector. 91% of employers believe that certifications play an important role in the hiring process and that certifications are an indicator of a successful employee. When it comes to cloud computing, there are two paths to take for certifications: vendor-neutral, and vendor-specific.
Vendor-neutral certifications focus on knowledge that is broadly applicable to the skill that it certifies. Rather than verifying your skills with a specific cloud computing service or platform, it verifies your understanding of cloud computing fundamentals, which you can apply to any platform you work with.
Vendor-specific training is tailored to the cloud computing service offered by that vendor. Microsoft, Amazon and Google all offer a set of certifications for their cloud computing services. Vendor-specific certifications can give you an edge if the company you are working for only uses software from a specific vendor.
The Introduction to Cloud Computing course provides both vendor-neutral and vendor-specific training. The course provides foundational knowledge and skills which students can then build on further to work towards any cloud computing certification.
Cloud Computing Training
Ashton College’s Introduction to Cloud Computing course is taught by cloud computing certified instructors. Learning from a certified cloud computing professional will better prepare you for the cloud computing job market and it will expedite the learning process.
