- To enable the student to analyse the trade-offs between deploying applications in the cloud and over the local infrastructure.
- Compare the advantages and disadvantages of various cloud computing platforms.
- Deploy applications over commercial cloud computing infrastructures such as Amazon Web Services, Windows Azure, and Google App Engine.
- Program data intensive parallel applications in the cloud.
About the Course
Cloud Computing is the on-demand course for the industry, the course teaches storing and retrieving data globally. Softlogic Systems provides the best practice on cloud computing usage to handle big data of an organization with the remote server access. We offer preeminent placement assistance and worthwhile certification after the successful course completion along with adequate hands-on experiences based on our industry-relevant cloud computing course syllabus to perform well in the companies from the beginning.
Program Objectives
- The course presents a top-down view of cloud computing, from applications and administration to programming and infrastructure.
- Its main focus is on parallel programming techniques for cloud computing and large-scale distributed systems which form the cloud infrastructure.
- Overview of cloud computing, cloud systems, Cloud Service Administration, Accessing the Cloud parallel processing in the cloud, distributed storage systems, virtualization, cloud standards, and Migrating to the Cloud.
- Knowledge about the state-of-the-art solutions for cloud computing developed by Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Yahoo, VMWare, etc. Students will also apply what they learn in one programming assignment and one project executed over Amazon Web Services.
