Lots of companies are now using cloud capacity to store vital information and everything has to get to and from the third-party cloud provider.You’ll delve into databases, serverless technology and how to build cloud infrastructure so you can pursue a career in this rapidly growing field. You can also explore the cloud environment with your own AWS account.You will cover a range of related disciplines too, including cyber security, programming, software development and artificial intelligence.Our facilities feature the latest equipment you’ll find in industry.
