Objective

In 2006, Amazon was the first to introduce their services using a cloud computing infrastructure. In 2010, network administration infrastructure moved from an on-premises to a cloud-based approach of implementation. In 2011, the concept of hybrid clouds was introduced allowing big web services companies like Amazon, Microsoft, and OpenStack to shift workloads back and forth between private and public clouds . Since 2013 the features of cloud computing have developed significantly and cloud security has become a main concern in this fast-growing service.

This program addresses the demand for professionals with training in both cloud and on-premises platforms. More specifically, this program addresses the demand for proficiency in operating systems, virtualization technologies, cloud and network services, security, and selected industry-recognized Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform and Microsoft Azure certifications.
