This course introduces the core ideas of cloud computing and explains why modern IoT solutions rely on the cloud for storage, processing, and analytics. You start with the basics and then move into practical modules using ThingSpeak, IBM Bluemix, and AWS IoT Core to send, store, and visualize live sensor data.​

You will learn how to create and manage an AWS account, set up IoT things, policies, and certificates, and securely connect hardware to the AWS cloud. By the end of the course, you can upload real sensor data to AWS, build simple dashboards, and understand how cloud‑connected devices are used in smart homes, industry, and analytics projects.​
