Cloud computing refers to the delivery of computing services, including servers, storage, databases, networking, software, and more over the Internet. This allows individuals and organizations to access and use these resources on demand, without needing to own or manage physical infrastructure. In this course, explore key cloud concepts and connectivity options, including network functions virtualization (NFV), virtual private cloud (VPC), network security groups, network security lists, and cloud gateways. Next, examine cloud connectivity options such as VPN and direct connection, and deployment and service models. Finally, learn about cloud scalability, elasticity, and multitenancy. This course is one of a collection that helps prepare learners for the CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) certification exam.
