School of Cloud Computing

Architect, deploy, and manage scalable infrastructure on the world's leading cloud platforms.

About This School

Cloud Computing

Cloud computing has fundamentally transformed how organisations build and deploy technology. At LEKKI TECH ACADEMY, our School of Cloud Computing provides hands-on training across AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. You will learn to design scalable architectures, migrate on-premise workloads, implement security controls, and manage cloud infrastructure using infrastructure-as-code principles.

Our curriculum balances theoretical foundations with practical labs, ensuring you graduate with the skills to architect, deploy, and operate cloud solutions that drive business value.

Overview

What is Cloud Computing?

Cloud computing delivers on-demand computing resources — servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and intelligence — over the internet on a pay-as-you-go basis. It eliminates the need for organisations to own and maintain physical data centres, enabling faster innovation, flexible scaling, and reduced operational costs.

Major cloud providers offer three primary service models: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). Cloud computing also encompasses modern paradigms like serverless computing, container orchestration, and edge computing.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

We recommend starting with AWS due to its market dominance and breadth of services. However, our curriculum is platform-agnostic and you will gain foundational skills that transfer across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Many students choose to specialise in one platform and later cross-train.

Basic scripting knowledge (Python or Bash) is helpful but not required to start. Our programme includes scripting fundamentals for automation. The Cloud DevOps track requires more programming proficiency than the core cloud administration pathways.

Yes, you will work directly with AWS, Azure, and GCP through our provided cloud credits. You will deploy real infrastructure, configure services, and troubleshoot production-like scenarios in our guided labs and capstone projects.

Cloud certifications validate your skills to employers and often lead to salary increases of 20-40%. They are among the most sought-after IT credentials and are frequently required for cloud roles at major organisations and consulting firms.

The cloud job market is booming, with organisations of all sizes migrating to the cloud. Roles like Cloud Architect, DevOps Engineer, and Cloud Security Engineer are among the fastest-growing positions in IT, with excellent compensation and career progression.
