Getting Started With Cloud Computing

This curriculum introduces open-source cloud computing to a general audience along with the skills necessary to deploy applications and websites securely to the cloud. In the tutorials below, you will build your knowledge of cloud servers, web servers, databases, containers, and cloud security. No prior developer experience is necessary to follow along.

The skills you develop in these tutorials are applicable to any open-source cloud environment. Some hands-on exercises require access to a server, which can be obtained through DigitalOcean’s smallest Droplet offering or through the cloud provider of your choice. First-time DigitalOcean customers can set up a Droplet for free through our free trial offering.
