Cloud Computing is expected to generate trillions of dollars in revenues over the next few years. Companies are adopting the trend to cut costs and speed up the development and deployment of state-of-the-art applications. Therefore, cloud computing skills will continue to be in high demand. There is no better time than now to start your cloud career journey.

Newcomers to cloud computing could come from various backgrounds. Based on our experience at DolfinED with more than 100 thousand students, many come without IT background or without broad knowledge of crucial topics that are key to the learning cloud. Topics such as encryption, networking, TCP/IP addressing, application architectures, containers, virtualization, and more. This course tries to provide a high-level overview for these newcomers to ensure they can fully grasp the knowledge a cloud professional is expected to know.
