Cloud Basics for Research Computing


Instructor bio

Description

This workshop will introduce participants to cloud computing concepts and corresponding products offered by the “Big Three” cloud providers: Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). This overview will be followed by a hands-on portion that illustrates those fundamentals, using Microsoft Azure as an example.

This workshop presumes no previous knowledge of cloud computing.

Learning objectives
