Study guide
In this lab you survey cloud providers and their SaaS, PaaS and IaaS offerings, build a warehouse application with SaaS tools, implement virtualisation with VMware Workstation or VirtualBox (creating, migrating, cloning and managing VMs), explore public cloud tools, manage cloud storage (buckets, file transfers, ACLs, IAM) and set up a private cloud with open-source tools. Always review billing settings when using public cloud accounts.
Why Cloud Computing Laboratory Matters
Hands-on cloud experience is what employers want to see beyond theory, and it prepares you for entry-level cloud roles.
How to Prepare for Cloud Computing Laboratory
