Cloud computing is a technology that allows users to access and use computing resources like servers, storage, and software over the internet, instead of owning physical hardware.
It offers on-demand access, scalability, and cost-efficiency by allowing users to pay only for what they use. There are three main service models: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). This approach is widely used for data storage, application hosting, and remote collaboration.
CompTIA, or the Computing Technology Industry Association, is a leading non-profit trade association that provides professional certifications for the information technology (IT) industry.
CompTIA certifications are globally recognised and cover a wide range of IT skills, from foundational knowledge to advanced expertise in areas like cybersecurity, networking, cloud computing, and IT support. Some of their well-known certifications include CompTIA A+, Network+, Security+, and Cloud Essentials+.
