Cloud Computing Certificate: Networking, Linux and AWS
Cloud jobs assume three skills: how networks move traffic, how Linux servers behave, and how AWS puts the two together. This program teaches them in that order, so by month six you are designing a cloud network rather than copying one.
Why this course
Why a six-month program?
Short vendor courses work well if you already know networking and Linux. If you don't, AWS feels like memorising menus. This program builds the foundation first, then the cloud on top of it.
It is the right length for a graduate or career switcher who wants one structured route to a first cloud role.
- Three connected modules: networking, Red Hat Linux (RH124) and AWS.
- Labs every week, and a final project that uses all three.
- A shorter, focused alternative to the one-year diploma.
Graduates (B.Tech, BCA, B.Sc) and career switchers who want a complete route to a first cloud engineering role.
Basic computer use. No programming or networking background needed.
Builds towards AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate and, for the Linux module, RHCSA. Exam fees are separate.

How the course runs
The plan, in the order we teach it.
- Months 1–2
Networking: OSI and TCP/IP, IP addressing and subnetting, routing, switching, VLANs, troubleshooting.
- Months 3–4
Red Hat Linux administration: command line, users, permissions, services, SSH, logs and networking.
- Months 5–6
AWS: IAM, EC2, VPC design, S3, RDS, load balancing and monitoring, then the final project.
Your project
A multi-tier application in your own AWS VPC
Design the subnet plan yourself, run hardened Linux web servers in private subnets behind a load balancer, keep the database private and document how traffic flows.
From course project to real projectsWhat you hand in
- A subnet and routing plan you calculated
- Hardened Linux servers configured by you
- A working, monitored application
- A presentation of the design and its trade-offs

FAQ
Questions before you enrol.
How is this different from the AWS course?
The AWS course (₹14,999, 2 months) assumes you can learn AWS directly. This program adds four months of networking and Linux first, so it suits people starting from scratch.
How is this different from the diploma?
The diploma (₹1,10,000, 1 year) adds Windows Server, deeper Linux, network security and Azure. This program is the six-month core.
What does the fee include?
₹45,000 covers six months of classes and labs, the final project and placement assistance. Certification exam fees are separate.
