While writing this post, i was nearly close to 7 years of experience in cloud computing space.
I don't hold any famous certifications on cloud, but holds knowledge on it by hands on.
Let's get started, So What is Cloud Computing?
✓ Cloud computing is the process of processing data, doing computations, or finding digital solutions to issues by renting computers online or by using someone else's computer resources.
✓ Usually, you just pay for what you utilize.
✓ More flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness are possible.
Imagine cloud computing like renting storage space in a secure facility instead of filling up your own closet at home. That space can hold anything you want, from photos to videos to documents. With cloud computing, your data is stored on giant servers (powerful computers) accessed through the internet instead of on your physical device. This allows you to access your information from anywhere, anytime, on any device with an internet connection.
So How To Learn Cloud Computing?
✓ You don't need to buy paid online course and spends hours watching and gets bored. Just enter into YouTube and search for cloud computing video, I am sure you will find good one.
For me: Edureka, Simply Learn and Free Boot Camp Org channel video helps in my early career, to atleast understand what is Cloud and basics.
✓ Watching video alone does not help, but practicing does. Cloud providers like Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform offers free tier subscription, so get into it by signing up with your email for free and start playing.
✓ In my early career I started learning Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services and later I sticked with AWS.
✓ Start with fundamental and basics services of the cloud providers,
If Amazon Web Services:- Ec2, Lambda, Iam, S3, Vpc
If Microsoft Azure:- Azure Vm, Azure Functions, Azure Active Directory, Blob Storage, Azure Vnet
Once you understand the basic services, then start think how you can connect one or more basics services to build an small application.
Something like,
- hosting a simple static html site in S3.
- writing a lambda function to check the wheather report and alert in your email if rains.
- building an photo share app using Azure blob and functions.
Once you build apps and it's up and running, then monitor it and understand the billing services how it works and if there are any performance issue.
Also cross check, if there are any other alternative services in cloud to do the same applications and run in cost effective way. By that your learning will be more interesting.
In all your above steps, don't forget or hesitate or lazy to document and publish your learnings, somewhere which you can refer later.
This how I started, and worked for me. I hope this would help you as well to get started in cloud computing space. I wish, you have a rewarding and enjoying cloud computing career.
That's all from my mind for today,
See you next time,
Bye!
