Cloud Infrastructure Expert

While specializing in a single cloud platform can be valuable, the multi-cloud approach offers several advantages. Most organizations in Cyprus and globally are adopting services from multiple providers to leverage specific strengths, avoid vendor lock-in, and optimize costs. As a cloud professional, understanding the nuances of different platforms makes you significantly more versatile and valuable to employers. Our course focuses on both the unique aspects of each cloud provider and the common principles that apply across all of them, giving you the flexibility to work in various cloud environments while developing deeper expertise in the areas most relevant to your career goals.

No, all necessary cloud resources for labs and projects are included in your course fee. We provide preconfigured lab environments and cloud sandbox accounts with sufficient credits for completing all course activities. You'll learn how to manage costs effectively as part of the curriculum, but you won't need to worry about unexpected charges on your personal accounts. For your capstone project, we'll guide you on setting up free tier accounts with appropriate budget alerts if needed, though most students complete their projects within our provided environments.

Our course complements rather than replaces vendor certifications. While cloud provider certifications focus on specific platforms, our curriculum takes a broader, more practical approach that emphasizes hands-on skills across multiple providers. The course covers approximately 70% of the content found in AWS Solutions Architect, Azure Solutions Architect, and Google Professional Cloud Architect certifications, providing an excellent foundation if you decide to pursue these credentials later. Many of our graduates successfully obtain vendor certifications after completing our course, and we offer guidance and resources to support your certification journey. As an added benefit, all graduates receive a discount voucher for one certification exam of their choice.

The course focuses on infrastructure rather than application development, so extensive programming experience is not required. However, you will need basic scripting skills to work effectively with Infrastructure as Code tools like Terraform. We'll be writing HCL (HashiCorp Configuration Language) for Terraform configurations and occasionally using basic shell scripts for automation. If you're familiar with basic programming concepts like variables, conditionals, and loops, you'll be well-prepared. For those with less technical background, we offer a complimentary pre-course workshop on scripting fundamentals to ensure everyone starts with the necessary baseline skills.

Graduates of our Cloud Infrastructure Expert course are well-positioned for a variety of roles, including Cloud Architect, Cloud Engineer, DevOps Engineer, Infrastructure Engineer, and Cloud Solutions Architect. In Cyprus specifically, there's growing demand for cloud professionals across financial services, telecommunications, e-commerce, and the emerging technology sector. Many organizations are seeking multi-cloud expertise for migration projects and ongoing infrastructure management. The skills learned in this course are also highly transferable internationally, opening opportunities throughout Europe and beyond. Our career services team provides guidance on job searching, resume preparation, and interview techniques, and we maintain relationships with local employers specifically looking for candidates with cloud infrastructure skills.
