COURSE DESCRIPTION
An accelerated shift in companies adopting cloud services has made Cloud Computing an essential skill across industries. To prepare students for this dynamic shift, this compact course begins at the genesis of virtualisation and builds up to the present day Cloud Computing technology. Students will learn the three deployment models – Public, Private and Hybrid, and the three levels of managed service- IaaS, PaaS and SaaS with case studies to understand the depth of how cloud computing is revolutionising the way we access, save and store data.
To better understand the Digital transformation of companies, the course will delve into Cloud migration strategy, underlining the steps, tools and audits involved in the process. In extension to Cloud migration, students will grasp legalities through Cloud Service-level agreements and pertinent Trans-Atlantic regulations. Other key areas of study will include Cloud Security testing, Cloud orchestration tools, Cloud BI and Big Data from the prism of the current Cloud services market.
Learning Objectives:
- Acquire the vocabulary and skills to understand the environment and deploy a Cloud project
