Title of Course Cloud Computing

Course Objectives

This introductory course on Cloud computing will teach both the fundamental concepts of how and why
Cloud systems works, as well as Cloud technologies that manifest these concepts, such as from
Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Open Stack. Students will learn distributed systems concepts like
virtualization, data parallelism, CAP theorem, and performance analysis at scale. They will also get a
practitioners view by learning "Big Data" programming patterns such as Map-Reduce (Hadoop), Vertex-
centric graphs (Graph) and Continuous Data flows (Storm), and NoSQL storage systems to build Cloud
applications.
