About the Course 

​​The course provides knowledge of cloud computing and skills to configure solutions based on project specifications. Cloud computing is renting resources, like storage space or CPU cycles, instead of running them on their own equipment. Candidates are provided knowledge and skills to work with important elements such as rapid development cycle, try/fail, pay as you go, scalability and elasticity. The course is based on Microsoft Azure; however, the theory, concepts and terminology are standard among the major vendors. 

​To master data in the cloud, you need the right foundation—a solid understanding of core data concepts, such as relational data, nonrelational data, big data, and analytics. Plus, familiarity with data and data analytics roles, tasks, and responsibilities. 

​Whether you’re a beginning technical professional, student, or business user, this course will offer knowledge of the business value and product capabilities of Microsoft Azure. The course will also provide insights into foundational knowledge of cloud-based solutions to facilitate productivity and collaboration on-site, at home, or a combination of both. 

​The course aims to provide fundamental competence to utilise cloud services securely. As the demand for increased performance storage requirements increases, and the lines between on-premises computing versus cloud computing become more diffuse, many businesses are moving fast toward cloud computing, and the need for competent personnel is also increasing. 

​This course offers the foundation to build your technical skills to start working with services in the cloud. Mastering the basics can help you jump-start your career and prepare you to dive deeper into other technical opportunities in the cloud.
