    Solutions are needed to help technical programs at educational institutions adopt and modify emerging technology programs more efficiently and expeditiously. The cloud computing industry has become the number one transformative technology trend in the region and the nation. The pandemic has single-handedly sped up this move. Cloud computing has low up-front costs, quick deployment, customizable features, and flexibility, while also being a solution with room for innovation (Ziyad et al., p 2, 2021).

A common theme from our technology workforce partners is the lack of cloud computing technicians, sparking institutional priorities to propose creating a new curriculum to meet the new paradigm in emerging cloud technologies. In this paper, we discuss cloud computing including its basic characteristics and delivery models, and the process of creating a cloud computing AS degree pathway for students with the support of the National Science Foundation (NSF) grant.
