Overview
Design and manage scalable, secure, and cost-efficient cloud architectures across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud., Apply governance, compliance, and FinOps frameworks to control cloud operations and spending effectively., Implement automation pipelines using Infrastructure as Code, monitoring tools, and AI-Ops for proactive management., Develop a complete cloud management strategy—from security and performance to sustainability and disaster recovery.
Cloud administrators, solution architects, and IT managers seeking to master governance, automation, and optimization in multi-cloud environments., Security, compliance, and FinOps professionals aiming to align technical operations with business strategy and regulatory standards., DevOps and systems engineers who want to strengthen their automation, IaC, and observability skills across AWS, Azure, and GCP., Business and technology leaders preparing for cloud transformation, certification, or modernization initiatives.
Basic understanding of IT infrastructure or cloud concepts is helpful but not required—this course covers fundamentals step by step., Access to a free-tier account on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud is recommended for hands-on practice., Familiarity with general IT governance or security standards (ISO 27001, NIST, COBIT) is an advantage but not mandatory.
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence. Led by Dr. Amar Massoud, a seasoned expert with decades of academic and professional experience, it combines cutting-edge AI support with human insight to deliver content that is precise, practical, and easy to follow. You’ll gain the clarity of structured learning and the confidence of being guided by a recognized authority.
Modern organizations rely on the cloud not just for storage or scalability, but as the foundation for digital transformation. The Cloud Management Masterclass teaches you how to manage cloud operations with confidence — integrating governance, automation, and financial accountability into a single, cohesive strategy.
You’ll learn how to design and govern enterprise-grade cloud environments across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, using industry frameworks such as COBIT 2019, ISO 38500, NIST, and ISO 27017/27018. The course explores every layer of cloud management — from security and compliance to cost optimization, AI-Ops, and sustainability — using CloudCore Technologies, a model company, to illustrate real-world application.
By the end of this masterclass, you’ll be able to:
Design hybrid and multi-cloud architectures that scale securely.
Apply governance and compliance controls using proven frameworks.
Optimize cloud costs with FinOps techniques and performance KPIs.
Automate infrastructure with Terraform, CloudFormation, and CI/CD pipelines.
Integrate CSPM, AI-Ops, and monitoring dashboards for visibility.
Build disaster recovery and business continuity strategies.
Implement sustainable, future-ready cloud operations aligned with ESG goals.
Each section includes hands-on assignments, real-world case studies, and ready-to-use templates — from governance policies and tagging frameworks to cost analysis sheets and IaC scripts. You’ll finish the course with a complete Cloud Management Strategy Blueprint ready to deploy in your organization.
