Women in Cloud Computing

Cloud Computing is impacting our world at many levels. Many findings have showcased that most of the businesses’ workload will be in the cloud. We, at WiT, recognize the tremendous growth that lies in Cloud Computing and therefore constituted Cloud Computing Community exclusively for women. The community will provide a platform to network and ensure raising important questions such as cheap storage solution, security, sustainability, cloud computing in the era of 5G technology and efficient usage of cloud computing in medical science amongst community members. The community will also serve as a platform to engage in Hackathons related to Cloud Computing problems, provide up-skill and learning opportunities to women and provide job opportunities in Cloud Computing domain.
(This is an all women community)
