Cloud Computing


Cloud - Version:1
Description
In this course we describe the idea behind cloud computing, the motivations and offerings. We define basic concepts and the different types of clouds. We explore the architecture of cloud friendly applications and show the different infrastructures available in the cloud today. Deploying an application to the cloud involve several challenges such as security and performance which are discussed in the course.
Intended audience
