Overview
The Fundamentals of Cloud Computing course from TimesPro is a self-paced online programme that delivers a thorough grounding in cloud computing concepts and hands-on AWS skills. The course covers cloud service and deployment models, core infrastructure concepts, and practical AWS operations including VPC setup, EC2 instance management, load balancing, autoscaling, and high availability architecture. It also addresses cloud security, compliance, and emerging trends, making it a well-rounded foundation course for anyone entering the cloud technology space.
Why Technology & Analytics?
Cloud computing is one of the most in-demand technology skill areas globally, with AWS alone powering a significant share of enterprise infrastructure. This course offers an affordable entry point at ₹2,799, combining foundational theory with direct hands-on AWS practice. Rather than a purely conceptual overview, the curriculum walks learners through real AWS operations — launching instances, configuring VPCs, attaching disks, setting up load balancers, and designing autoscaling groups. This practical focus makes the course directly applicable to cloud support, DevOps, and infrastructure roles without requiring prior cloud experience.

Curriculum
The course curriculum is structured under a single comprehensive module titled Cloud Computing Essentials. It begins with an introduction to AWS, including portal sign-up and a walkthrough of the AWS console. Learners then move into networking fundamentals — VPC concepts, subnets, public and private IP addresses — before progressing to hands-on tasks such as creating VPCs, launching and connecting to EC2 instances, and working with VPC configurations. The module covers Windows VM setup, attaching additional disks, creating AMIs, and launching new instances from custom AMIs. Networking components covered include Network Load Balancers, connecting to VMs in private subnets, NAT Gateways, and Elastic Network Interfaces. The module concludes with Elastic Load Balancer setup, Application Load Balancer configuration, autoscaling concepts, use cases for autoscaling, and high availability design combining autoscaling with load balancing.

The Cloud Computing Essentials module is the core of this programme, guiding learners from first principles through to practical AWS infrastructure management. The module opens with an AWS introduction and a step-by-step portal sign-up and console walkthrough, ensuring learners are comfortable in the AWS environment from the start. The networking section introduces VPC architecture, subnets, and the distinction between public and private IP addressing. Learners then perform hands-on tasks: creating a VPC, launching EC2 instances, and establishing connections to those instances. This is followed by Windows VM deployment, attaching additional storage disks, creating custom AMIs, and launching new instances from those AMIs — all key skills for cloud infrastructure roles. The module then covers advanced networking: Network Load Balancers, connecting to VMs within private subnets, VPC NAT Gateways, and Elastic Network Interfaces. Learners are introduced to the Elastic Load Balancer and Application Load Balancer, understanding how traffic is distributed across instances. The module concludes with autoscaling — what it is, when it is used, and how it is combined with load balancing to deliver high availability architectures that can respond dynamically to changing demand.
