Introduction to Cloud
Understand the fundamentals of cloud computing by learning how cloud environments work, why organizations adopt cloud, and how cloud differs from traditional on-prem infrastructure through structured, concept-driven tasks.
Overview
This project introduces you to cloud computing from the ground up. You will learn what cloud computing is, why it is widely used, and how modern organizations design and operate cloud environments.
You will explore core cloud concepts including cloud service models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS), shared responsibility model, cloud components, identity and access management (IAM), cloud networking, logging basics, and common cloud risks.
Each task is designed to build strong foundational clarity, preparing you for advanced cloud security, SOC, DevOps, and cloud incident investigation projects.
By the end of this project, you will clearly understand how cloud environments operate and how security teams view cloud infrastructure in real-world organizations.
