About

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. Then, we define the difference between relationship, availability, and milestone-oriented roles, and interview Amazon employees who provide their point of view of how is the day in a life of a Solutions Architect, Data Scientist, Software Developer Engineer, Systems Administrator, Security Engineer, and Customer Support Engineer.
