Frequently asked questions

What is cloud computing? 

Cloud computing refers to the group of computing services that are accessed remotely through the internet versus through physical sources. There are 3 cloud computing categories:

• Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) is like conventional IT resources in that it allows you to store data, run applications, and network, but it’s available on demand via the internet. AWS is an example of IaaS.
• Platform as a service (PaaS) allows developers to create their own applications without having to build a backend infrastructure. Microsoft Azure App Services is an example of PaaS.
• Software as a services (SaaS) is a full application that is hosted, maintained, and updated virtually by the provider. Microsoft 365 and Shopify are examples of SaaS.

Is cloud computing a good career?

Yes, for many people, cloud computing is a good career because most enterprises use and even rely on cloud systems. Plus, AI is reshaping the field, making now an exciting time to learn and grow your career options. As your knowledge builds, you might consider occupations such as a cloud architect or cloud engineer. 

What are cloud computing skills?

Cloud computing skills include knowledge of:

• AI tools like Amazon SageMaker and Google Cloud AI
• Automation deployment
• Cloud platforms and models
• Database storage
• Networking protocols
• Security and compliance standards
• Virtualization environments 

Our Undergraduate Certificate in Cloud Computing covers these fundamentals along with emerging artificial intelligence tools.

Does cloud computing require coding?

No, cloud computing does not require coding in many entry-level positions. AI is also redefining how coding works, with new tools making it more accessible to get started with no coding experience.

That said, it’s helpful to learn coding if you want to transition to a more senior role. To learn coding and programming skills in more depth, consider these programs:

• Undergraduate Certificate in Programming Essentials
• Associate in Information Technology and Networking with an Information Systems and Programming Specialization
• Bachelor’s in Software Development with a Software Design and Programming Specialization

Is cloud computing hard to study?

Cloud computing isn’t necessarily hard to study. How easily you learn cloud computing depends on your existing knowledge, prior experience, and how quickly you absorb new concepts. At DeVry, we support your learning by offering online resources like virtual tutors, a digital library, and more so you can access the materials and information you need right when you need it.
