Module introduction: Cloud concepts
Welcome to describe cloud concepts. Here, you'll be introduced to cloud computing and some of the key concepts that set the framework for the rest of the course. We'll talk about cloud computing in general, including the different cloud models and when you might want to choose one over another. We'll also talk about the benefits of using cloud services, and we'll cover core concepts such as high availability, scalability, reliability, and predictability. We'll close out with a discussion of the three different cloud service types, along with some information about why you might choose one over the other. We'll also introduce a thought experiment where you'll need to make some decisions about which type of cloud and cloud service you should use in a specific scenario, allowing you to practice the real skills you need for the Azure Fundamentals exam.
