The cloud is a part of our everyday life (e.g. using Amazon, Google, Netflix, or an ATM involves remote computing). The topic is fascinating but this lesson says ‘5 minutes or less’ so let’s get connected.
Please select the platform you wish to use for the exercises:
This is the first and last place in these lessons where it will matter if you are using PC, Mac, or Linux. After we connect, we will all be on the same operating system/computing environment.
To save time, your instructor will have launched an remote computer (instance) for you prior to the workshop. If you are following these lessons on your own, or after the workshop see the lesson on launching cloud instances on your own for instructions on how to do this yourself.
