Course Description:
This course offers a detailed hands-on analysis of Cloud principles and technologies
through different Cloud service models, comprising Infrastructure as a Service
(IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS), and Business
Process as a Service (BPaaS) (BpaaS). Nowadays cloud computing becomes popular
for individuals’ users as well as for the business community. It provides on-demand
huge computation and storage resources which is attractive for a large number of
users mainly due to pay-per-usage charging model. This course will introduce topics
related to Cloud Computing and also expose students to the latest tools and
technologies used in Cloud Computing.
Course Learning Outcomes:
CLO1 Design the basics of cloud computing, building blocks and
applicability.
CLO2 Describe public cloud infrastructures and programming
models.
CLO3 Apply the working of the docker containers and microservices.
CLO4 Understand the performance, scalability, and availability of the
underlying cloud technologies and software.
