By the end of this course, you'll have a solid understanding of these essential technologies that are transforming the way we use computers and store data. 🎓

Learning Outcomes:

• What is Cloud Computing? You'll explore the landscape of Cloud Computing, its types, and various models of cloud service deployment (IaaS*, PaaS*, SaaS*).
• Understanding Virtualization: Learn why it's a cornerstone of modern computing and how it enhances efficiency.
• Exploring Computer Networks: Gain insights into the inner workings of networks, including IP addressing and its importance.
• Hands-On Experience: Create your own Virtual Machines (VM) using Hypervisors and understand their role in Cloud Computing.

IaaS – Infrastructure as a Service* | PaaS – Platform as a Service* | SaaS – Software as a Service

Course Outline:

1. Cloud Computing: We'll start by defining what Cloud Computing is and delve into its various types and models of service deployment. You'll learn how to differentiate between them and understand their real-world applications.

2. Concept of Virtualization: Discover the power of virtualization, not just as a concept but through actual demonstrations using Type-2 Hypervisors, setting up VMs, and witnessing the magic of running multiple operating systems on a single physical machine.

3. Kali Linux on a VM: Get hands-on experience by creating a Virtual Machine and installing Kali Linux – a popular distribution for security testing and ethical hacking.

4. Real-Life Cloud Services: Through examples, we'll explore how IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS are delivered and used in the real world.

5. Computer Networks Basics: Learn about the fundamental aspects of computer networks, including gateways, routers, LANs, WANs, and more.

6. IP Addressing: Understand the dual-layer scheme of IP addresses (IPv4), the concept of public vs. private IPs, and what subnetting is all about.

7. AAA Concept & Demonstration: Finally, we'll cover the AAA framework (Accounting, Authentication, and Authorization) with a demonstration that brings its importance to life.

By completing this course, you'll have a comprehensive understanding of the foundational concepts in Cloud Computing, Virtualization, and Computer Networks – setting you on the path to mastery in these critical areas of IT. 🛠️✨
