“A FRIENDLY INTRODUCTION TO CLOUD COMPUTING”, BY CARMEN RODRIGUEZ ’22, MILLERKNOLL

In this talk, Carmen will introduce cloud computing to understand its fundamental concepts and practical applications. Cloud computing is an important part of IT infrastructure, revolutionizing the way businesses run and scale their operations. We will explore its core principles such as on-demand resource allocations, scalability, reliability and pay-as-you-go pricing models.  Although there are several cloud service providers, we will focus on Amazon Web Services (AWS), one of the leading providers globally.  We will learn about the different services that SWS has to offer, ranging from compute and storage to networking and machine learning.  With so many available services, learning about the cloud can be overwhelming.  This friendly guide will allow you to demystify the world of cloud computing.

Carmen Rodriguez graduated from Hope College in 2022 with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science.  She is from Tegucigalpa, Honduras but currently lives in Holland and works as a Full-Stack Developer at MillerKnoll. In her role, Carmen has worked on projects that leverage several AWS services to facilitate applications development and solve business challenges.
