Cloud Computing Essentials: Navigating AWS, Azure & Google Cloud for Beginners

The cloud powers nearly everything you do online, yet getting started with AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud can feel like wandering a maze of unfamiliar services, jargon, and pricing options. This book offers a clear, beginner-friendly path through it. You'll learn what cloud computing is, how it differs from traditional infrastructure, and how service and deployment models fit together. You'll then see how each of the three major platforms handles computing, storage, databases, and networking, along with the essentials of security, access control, reliability, and cost management. Practical examples connect each concept to real goals like hosting a website or supporting an application. By the end, you'll be able to compare platforms, follow cloud conversations with confidence, and plan your next steps, with no prior technical experience required.
