• 2.  Evolution of Computing
  10m 14s
  In this video, you’ll learn more about the history of cloud computing. The history of computing can be traced to 1623 when Wilhelm Schickard assembled a calculating machine that worked according to the principle of Napier's bones. A real milestone was reached in the 80s when computing machines like the analytical engine, tabulating machine, and the electrical logic machine were first documented and developed. However, the actual history of modern computing began in the 90s. FREE ACCESS

• 4.  Data Centers and Their Hardware Requirements
  7m
  In this video, you’ll learn more about the different types of data centers, their hardware requirement, and the layers of data center network architecture. You’ll learn a data center is a repository for storage, management, and dissemination of data and information organized around a body of knowledge or pertaining to a particular business. A data center is generally a huge building consisting of infrastructures to incorporate applications such as social networks, supercomputing, and cloud service. FREE ACCESS
• 5.  Evolution of Cloud Data Center Models
  7m 1s
  In this video, you’ll learn more about the evolution of cloud data center models. First, you’ll learn about the architectural shifts in the key building blocks of a data center. This includes servers, storage, and switches. Business requirements demand ever-increasing processing speeds. Server technology is rapidly changing and the need for speed is critical. Technological enterprises have created more innovative and efficient technologies. Security and overall performance are always being enhanced as well. FREE ACCESS
• 6.  Outsourcing IT Operations
  8m 34s
  In this video, you’ll learn more about outsourcing IT operations. You’ll learn advancements in information technology have enabled enterprises to conduct business more efficiently. IT has improved existing processes and changed the way business is done. Developments in IT have also enabled enterprises to explore, analyze, and exchange information. Interconnectedness brought about by IT has enabled enterprises to do business, through their own resources or by outsourcing internal operations to outside contracting firms. FREE ACCESS
• 7.  Characteristics and Benefits of Serverless Computing
  4m 48s
  In this video, you’ll learn more about the concept of serverless computing, along with the advantages of using serverless architecture. Serverless computing is a method of providing backend service on an as-used basis. A serverless provider enables users the ability to write and deploy code without worrying about underlying infrastructure. You’ll discover users of serverless get backend services from a serverless provider and are charged based on their usage and storage services. FREE ACCESS
• 8.  Serverless Computing vs. PaaS
  8m 19s
  In this video, you’ll learn more about the differences between serverless computing and Platform as a Service facilitated by cloud computing. You’ll look at the evolution of cloud infrastructure. In the early days, enterprises stored and managed data in their own data centers. While there are still data centers, they’re managed by cloud service providers and used to cater to cloud infrastructure requirements as Infrastructure as a Service, Platform as a Service, and serverless.

• 9.  Serverless vs. Container Deployment
  6m 47s
  In this video, you’ll learn more about the similarities and differences between serverless and container deployment. You’ll first learn what a container is and how it is used in software development processes. A container is lightweight virtualization architecture with an operating system. It provides a modular, portable, isolated environment that can deploy individual applications. Containers share resources with the host server rather than emulating virtual operating systems. This makes containers more efficient than virtual machines. FREE ACCESS
• 10.  DevOps and NoOps
  7m 21s
  In this video, you’ll learn more about the differences between DevOps and NoOps, along with the impact of NoOps on Serverless deployment. You’ll start by reviewing the core concepts of DevOps before you learn its relationship with the concept of NoOps. In software development, DevOps is a methodology that focuses on the collaboration of the development and operations teams. It highlights practices that combine software development and IT operations. FREE ACCESS
• 11.  Features and Applications of Serverless Architecture
  8m 59s
  In this video, you’ll learn more about prominent applications of serverless architecture. You’ll learn the benefits of serverless over traditional approaches. You’ll start by learning the characteristics of serverless architecture that can be used to differentiate it from other traditional architectures. You’ll learn the characteristics of serverless architecture including focus. Serverless implementation is focused on a single business logic layer. FREE ACCESS
• 12.  Migrating from an Existing Service to Serverless
  7m 45s
  In this video, you’ll learn more about the critical steps involved in migrating an existing service to serverless. You’ll learn some of the reasons you’d want to migrate to serverless from an existing service architecture. The first reason is cost. Serverless enables organizations to pay only for the consumed resources, reducing costs. Serverless also reduces an application's time to market by allowing the heavy lifting of managing infrastructures to be delegated to serverless providers. FREE ACCESS
• 13.  Migrating from Monolithic Apps to Serverless
  7m 49s
  In this video, you’ll learn more about the critical steps involved in migrating Monolithic applications to serverless architecture in the cloud. You’ll start by learning about the common service architecture types used to realize various business management logics. It’s important to choose the right service architecture for any product development to meet all business needs and ensure a greater user experience. There are three prominent service architectures in existence today, Monolith, Microservices, and Serverless. FREE ACCESS
