Cloud Computing Fundamentals – Basics for Beginners [2026]

Posted on: 20th January 2026

Instructor: N/A • Language: N/A

Learn cloud computing fundamentals, service models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS), and virtualization concepts to understand cloud architecture, migration strategies, and business applications.

Description

This course treats cloud computing as something to understand before something to configure. 

It starts by grounding you in what the cloud actually is, how it evolved, and why businesses rely on it, then introduces service models, virtualization, and security once there’s a clear mental framework. 

By the time the technical concepts appear, you know where they fit and why they matter.

Here's the break down:

  • Cloud computing foundations: Understanding the history, characteristics, components, advantages, and challenges of cloud technology
  • Cloud architecture and networking: Grasping how cloud systems are structured, including reference models, layers, and networking principles
  • Service models explained clearly: Learning the differences between IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service), and SaaS (Software as a Service) with practical examples
  • Cloud types and deployment models: Understanding public, private, hybrid, and community clouds, plus when each makes sense for different business needs
