This document discusses various topics related to cloud technologies. It begins with innovations enabled by cloud computing, such as artificial intelligence, smart cities, driverless cars, and the internet of things. It then defines cloud computing and describes its key characteristics, service models (infrastructure as a service, platform as a service, software as a service), and deployment models (public, private, hybrid). The document outlines advantages and disadvantages of cloud computing, as well as trends like edge computing and opportunities for careers as cloud architects. It also touches on cloud forensics, statistics, and some interesting facts about cloud data storage and usage.

According to NIST,
• Cloud computing is a model for enabling
ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand
network access to a shared pool of
configurable computing resources that can
be rapidly provisioned and released with
minimal management effort or service
provider interaction.

domain presents a golden opportunity.
• it is important to stand out with your cloud
experience.
• A way in which to do so would be to gain a
Cloud Engineer or Cloud Architect
accreditation from Microsoft, Amazon or
Google.

20. Cloud Architect
• An IT specialist who has a combined
knowledge of cloud computing and its
roles and utilization in the market.
• According to the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, the demand for cloud architects
is rising exponentially and expected to
open more than twelve thousand positions
each year through 2024.

Cloud Architect
• Knowledge of programming languages such as Python,
Ruby and Elixir
• Background in IT engineering
• Strong people skills
• Excellent leadership skills
• Excellent written and verbal communication
• Ability to design and implement cloud infrastructure

23. How to become a cloud
architect?
1. Get your degree
2. Get on-the-job experience

26. 6. Cloud Forensics
• A cross-discipline between cloud
computing and digital forensics.
• Digital forensics is the application of
science to the identification, collection,
examination, and analysis of data while
preserving the integrity of the information
and maintaining a strict chain of custody
for the data. (Kent et al.,2006)
