Course objectives
The student needs to know well the cloud computing paradigm and the basic models that are based on the cloud. He/she must be able to estimate rental costs vs. building their own infrastructure and knowing the parameters that are important for both users and service providers. Students will recognize the technical and economic benefits of using computer clouds and be able to recommend an almost finished cloud solution as needed.
Course outcomes
- Explain the cloud computing paradigm.
- Compare the advantages and disadvantages of different business models based on computing in the cloud.
- Give examples of the role of computing participants in the cloud.
- Provide mathematical cost calculation models.
Course content
What it means to be in the "cloud"- definition of terms. Overview of cloud computing services business models, comparison of advantages and disadvantages when using:
- Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS)
- Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS)
- Software-as-a-Service (SaaS).
