COURSE OUTLINE

The Introduction to Cloud Computing course provides an overview of cloud computing technology and its applications. Students will gain a fundamental understanding of the cloud computing paradigm, learn about the various cloud service models, and explore the benefits and challenges associated with cloud adoption. The course will cover key concepts, terminology, and architectures, enabling students to make informed decisions about utilizing cloud computing solutions for their organizations. 

The Networking Components and Operating Systems Fundamentals course provides a comprehensive understanding of networking technologies and operating systems used in cloud computing environments. Students will explore the key networking components, protocols, and architectures involved in cloud computing, as well as gain practical knowledge of operating system concepts and their implementation in cloud environments. The course aims to equip students with the necessary skills to design, configure, and manage networking components and operating systems within cloud infrastructures.

This course provides students with a comprehensive understanding of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles and Python programming for designing serverless and tiered application architecture. Students will learn how to automate the provisioning, configuration, and management of cloud infrastructure using IaC tools and techniques. They will also gain proficiency in using Python for scripting and integrating with serverless cloud services to build scalable and resilient tiered applications. This course will cover Terraform (IaC), Python, and source control versioning methodologies to provision cloud resources via automated pipelines. 

This course provides students with practical knowledge and skills in implementing, deploying, and ensuring the successful operations of a 3-tier web application in the cloud environment via Terraform and CI/CD Pipeline. This course focuses on utilizing cloud services and technologies to build scalable, reliable, and secure web applications. Through a combination of theory, hands-on labs, and real-world scenarios, students will learn how to architect, deploy, and manage the infrastructure required to run a 3-tier web application.

Students engage in a hands-on, industry-modeled project focused on cloud-based systems within the AWS environment. This real-world simulation equips students with practical experience in assessing, evaluating, and validating the robustness and performance of cloud-based projects.

This Security+ course is designed to equip participants with the essential knowledge and skills required to excel in the field of cybersecurity. Delve into the foundational principles of information security, threat assessment, risk management, cryptography, network security, and much more. This course provides a solid foundation for individuals aspiring to pursue careers as cybersecurity professionals or enhance their expertise in the field. 

The Cloud security course with an AWS focus is designed to prepare cybersecurity professionals to secure cloud environments specifically within the Amazon Web Services (AWS) platform. This comprehensive training program covers the key domains of cloud security as outlined by (ISC)² while emphasizing practical applications and best practices within the AWS ecosystem. 

This course is designed to teach students how to integrate themselves into the Canadian job market. In 4 short weeks, we look at the kind of mindset that is needed to be successful in the job search process, how to shape the CV and cover letters, we practice interview skills, and much more.

Conclude your learning journey with a capstone project focused on applying security measures in a cloud computing context.
