Course Overview
Modern organisations rely on cloud platforms for applications, storage, and digital services. IT professionals supporting these environments require a practical understanding of core cloud components and how to diagnose operational issues quickly. This programme introduces the key concepts needed to support cloud services effectively.
Through mentor-led sessions and practical scenarios, learners explore identity and access basics, cloud networking concepts, storage services, and operational monitoring practices. The course focuses on developing a troubleshooting mindset so that learners can identify issues, analyse logs, and understand how cloud services interact.
Participants also learn structured approaches to identifying service failures, interpreting logs, and resolving common cloud support issues. By the end of the programme, learners will understand how cloud environments operate and how to support users and services within modern cloud-based infrastructure.
