In this course, you'll explore the basics of virtualization which is the foundation of modern data center cloud computing architecture. You will also learn about VM security, cloud computing types and models such as IaaS and hybrid clouds. You'll learn about managed security service providers (MSSPs), containerization fundamentals, serverless computing, and Infrastructure as Code. You'll also learn about cloud storage, network, and compute security solutions. This course can be used in preparation for the CompTIA Security+ SY0-601 certification exam.
