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 the resources 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. The course builds on competence from Linux and Microsoft Server Technologies. 

The aim of the course is to provide fundamental competence to utilize cloud services. As the demand for increased performance, storage requirements increase, and the lines between on-premises computing versus cloud computing becomes more diffuse, therefore many businesses are currently moving fast towards cloud computing and the need for competent personnel is also increasing.
