Serverless Deployments for Developers E-Learning

In a nutshell, serverless computing is cloud computing directed primarily at software developers. During this Journey, participants explore Serverless computing's fundamentals and how to migrate their legacy applications and services to many of the new cloud platforms. We will explore the most common development languages for Serverless computing and explore each of the major cloud providers and how they are leveraging Serverless technologies.

Learning Kits are structured learning paths, mainly within the Emerging Tech area. A Learning Kit keeps
the student working toward an overall goal, helping them to achieve your career aspirations. Each part takes the student step by step through a diverse set of topic areas. Learning Kits are
made up of required tracks, which contain all of the learning resources available such as Assessments (Final Exams), Mentor, Practice Labs and of course E learning. And all resources with a 365 days access from first activation.

This Learning Kit, with more than 34 hours of online content, is divided into the following tracks:
