Unit Overview

Welcome to your first step in the cloud. Before we touch any AWS services, we need to understand why the cloud exists and how it fundamentally changed the way we build technology.

In this unit, you will journey from the physical hardware of a server to the abstract, global scale of modern cloud platforms.

What you will learn:

  • Module 1.1: Cloud Foundations: Learn how websites talk to servers, the anatomy of a data center, and the essential characteristics that define the "Cloud."

By the end of this unit, you'll have a solid mental model of cloud computing and be ready to start building your first project.
