Cloud Computing Fundamentals: AWS & Azure Concepts

Understand compute, storage, networking and pricing in the cloud and launch your first services safely

Ghosla Academy · Cloud Team

Cloud skills are now expected in almost every IT role. This course explains the core ideas clearly and maps them to both AWS and Azure, so you understand the concepts rather than memorising one console. You will set up billing alerts first, then launch storage, a virtual machine and networking in a safe way. The course closes with cost planning and a guide to beginner certifications such as AWS Cloud Practitioner and Azure Fundamentals.

What you will be able to do

  • Explain IaaS, PaaS, SaaS and the shared responsibility model
  • Compare core AWS and Azure services for compute, storage and databases
  • Launch and secure a virtual machine
  • Design basic networks with VPCs/VNets, subnets and security groups
  • Use IAM roles and least privilege
  • Estimate costs, set budgets and prepare for entry-level cloud certifications

What you build

  • Static website hosted on cloud object storage
  • Virtual machine running a simple web server
  • Cost estimate and architecture diagram for a small startup

What you need to start

  • Basic computer and internet knowledge
  • A debit or credit card may be needed for free-tier signup (budgets are set up early in the course)
