Course Overview

Cloud decisions are often made by people who will never configure anything. They are made by the people who sign off on them. This four-hour course is for those people.

It starts with why companies move at all. You look at the role of IT in business transformation, a short history of IT, the legacy approach to IT, and what pushes customers to leave traditional infrastructure. From there you define cloud computing, its key characteristics, the cloud business model, and the key security practices in the cloud. The course also introduces security and compliance concepts, so leaders can have better conversations with their business and IT colleagues.

The second half is about value. You cover the customer value proposition, who is using the cloud, industry trends, and customer examples. Then you work through the AWS Cloud Value Framework, which assesses the cost and value impact of building on AWS across four areas: cost savings, staff productivity, operational resilience, and business agility. A business value activity closes the course.

You do not need IT or cloud experience, and the outline has no technical labs. If you want hands-on time with AWS services, AWS Technical Essentials is the better fit.
