Best cloud computing courses in India

cloud computing

With cloud computing becoming an integrated component of IT operations, the prospects for professionals with cloud computing skills may get brighter. Cloud computing is a type of computing in which users share computing resources through the Internet. In simple terms, it can be explained as executing applications and storing data without downloading all the necessary files onto your computer or any such devices. Instead, you can utilize the resources on the Internet or other remote servers. Cloud computing is thus a solution that delivers IT as a service and simplifies infrastructure. Cloud computing is a new technology and service that lets users access computing resources on demand, as needed, whether the resources are physical or virtual. According to a recent report published by IBEF, the cloud services market in India is expected to spend U.S. $4.2 billion from 2013 to 2017.

 

As a prospective career choice in IT, you will need to acquire skills to enter this sector. This can be achieved by taking courses in cloud computing. Cloud computing courses are usually offered at different levels. Various institutes offer courses which may span over two days to 12 months, depending upon the level of the course.

Once equipped with the desired qualification, you may be able to work as a cloud architect, cloud security specialist, cloud developer or cloud infrastructure manager in an IT company.

Aspiring candidates can generally enroll in a course in cloud computing after a bachelor’s degree in engineering (information technology or computer science), Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA), Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) or Master of Science (M.Sc.) in IT or Computer Science. Students would be required to have a basic understanding of programming to take on this course. Any fresh graduate or IT and software professional with some working experience may take this course, provided they meet entrance requirements.
