AWS Cloud
Cloud computing offers a simple and efficient way to manage servers, storage, databases, and a wide range of application services through the internet. It provides developers and IT departments with solutions to handle procurement, maintenance, and capacity planning. To facilitate this functionality through network-connected hardware and application services, Amazon introduced its cloud platform, AWS (Amazon Web Services), also known as Amazon AWS.
At Divine Tech Skills, we begin our AWS training with foundational topics like “What is Cloud?” and “What is Cloud Computing?”. From day one, our expert trainers will guide you through the basics of AWS Cloud and its various services such as IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service), SaaS (Software as a Service), and PaaS (Platform as a Service). Our courses are tailored to suit the unique needs of each student. If you’re already familiar with cloud computing and services, we can directly dive into advanced AWS topics like AWS Solution Architect or AWS Cloud Infrastructure. Our AWS certification course curriculum covers important areas including AWS VPC, AWS EC2, cloud security, and private cloud.
