CPDs to Cloud: How Cloud Computing Changed IT

What is Cloud Computing?

Everyone has certainly heard of Cloud Computing, or cloud computing. It is an association of the use of third-party servers with the power of the internet. The result is that services, applications, and files can be stored and accessed from anywhere, with more security and less dependence on local physical resources. But there is a possibility that you still don't know AWS – Amazon Web Service. In fact, AWS is precisely Amazon's cloud computing service, an American digital company, and the first AWS data center in Brazil has been operating in São Paulo for over four years.

How are they used by companies?

Cloud computing resources, and especially AWS, are very versatile. Among many other possibilities, Cloud Computing has been used by companies for:

• Storage of heavy or large-volume documents (such as fiscal or technical documents);
• File sharing that needs to be accessed by different departments, such as control spreadsheets;
• Cooperative project management through specific applications;
• Centralized messaging, which allows control and later access to internal and external communications.

Advantages of specializing in AWS and Cloud Computing

Currently, most companies have no interest in maintaining local servers and their own IT infrastructure. Using Cloud Computing resources is simply more practical, more secure, cheaper, and more efficient. Therefore, those looking to specialize in cloud computing will find good job opportunities - both in the service providers, which are constantly expanding; and in client companies, providing internal support. AWS is one of the main cloud computing services in Brazil and worldwide. Major global digital companies, such as Reddit, Dropbox, and Tumblr, use Amazon's cloud computing services. To open up more job opportunities, it is a smart decision to specialize in working with AWS resources.

Why take a course on AWS and Cloud Computing?

You can learn a lot simply by reading about the subject on the internet. In fact, to be completely honest, the best way to start is precisely by researching.
