Overview
The instructors from this Introduction to AWS Cloud Careers course offered by Coursera in partnership with Amazon Web Services teach some of the terminologies that are needed to start a Cloud learning journey, covering topics such as the difference between IaaS, PaaS and SaaS, Cloud Computing models (Public, Private and Hybrid Cloud), what are APIs (and why they are important), elasticity, horizontal and vertical scaling.
