Catalog Description:
Untitled document
This course provides the underlying knowledge required by IT Professionals who will be evaluating cloud computing solutions (such as Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and Amazon Web Services), whether they are administrators, developers, or database administrators. It introduces students to the principles of cloud computing and students will become familiar with how these principles have been implemented in the major commercial platforms. In addition, this course explains how to implement the core infrastructure, consisting of virtual networks and storage. With this foundation, students will be able to create the most common services, including virtual machines, web apps, and databases. The students will also learn about container-based services and the most prominent examples of serverless computing. The course also serves the needs of individuals seeking to pass the Computing Technology Industry Association's (CompTIA) Cloud+ and Cloud Essentials certification exams.
Prerequisites/Corequisites:
Recommended Preparation:
Eligibility for ENGL 100 or ESL 100 or appropriate placement based on AB705 mandates; and Completion of CS 81.81A and CS 82.22A and CS 82.58
