How to learn techniques about cloud and big data?

I am really interested in the technology about cloud and big data. I have a high expect for using these techniques in the future medicine when the personal genomic era is coming. Therefore, what kind of techniques I need to learn? If I want to build a business around this, what will it be? Thank you.
