IST65250/IST6525 - Cloud Computing Concepts, Tools, and Applications

(3 units)

Cloud computing enables organizations to achieve significant cost savings through minimal capital investment by providing expandable and scalable consumer and enterprise applications. Students will explore the fundamentals of building data infrastructures powered by server-less computing through a mix of lectures and hands-on Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (Iaas) demos. Research will be conducted to contrast the benefits and challenges of cloud computing, on-premises solutions, and traditional self-managed cloud architectures.
