Moving to the Cloud

Course Summary

The Moving to the Cloud training course provides an overview of the key concepts, technologies, products, implications, paradigms, development methodologies, project management practices, and business models/implications associated with developing a platform-based infrastructure such as Amazon Web Services (AWS).
