Descripción detallada del cursoDetailed course description

Contenido en inglés, el idioma en que se imparte el curso.Content in English, the language the course is taught in.

This course is a practical, non‑technical guide to cloud computing strategy for business professionals who need to make informed decisions without becoming engineers. It explains what cloud computing really is, how it differs from traditional on‑premise IT, and why the shift from capital expenditure (CAPEX) to operational expenditure (OPEX) fundamentally changes budgeting, planning, and risk.

You will learn the three main service models,IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS,in plain language, and see when each one makes sense through concrete business scenarios. The course then compares the major providers (AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud), highlighting their strengths, typical use cases, and how to systematically choose a primary vendor using clear evaluation criteria rather than marketing hype.

A full module is dedicated to FinOps, where you will understand the main cost components (compute, storage, data transfer, managed services), pricing models such as on‑demand, reserved, and spot, and practical optimization tactics to avoid “cloud bill shock.”
