The term Cloud Computing refers to a big area of Information Technology that involves: hardware infrastructures, software infrastructures, data center facilities, virtualization technologies and software engineering concepts. All these areas are connected and provide you with a strong background for your journey of learning to use and work with cloud computing platforms. So before learning cloud computing you should have clear idea about how cloud computing came into existence.

Since Cloud Computing is a broad area, to learn Cloud Computing you should have some skills related to basic concepts of Operating Systems (how they work and operate at a high level): Windows, Linux and a bit of basic concepts about them and some basic networking skills. You should have some basic understanding of virtualization technologies as Virtualization Technologies play a very big role when we speak about cloud computing. You should have a clear idea of what Public Cloud Computing vs Private Cloud Computing means. It is good to have knowledge of coding for learning cloud computing.

The term Cloud Computing is an umbrella term and encompasses many different concepts of Information Technology listed above, so if you have basic understanding of the above mentioned technologies, it will be helpful for you to learn cloud computing from scratch.
