ABOUT THE COURSE & CONTENTS

Cloud computing is a technology model that involves the provisioning of
computing services over the internet. Providing these services locally by hosting
them on physical servers or personal computers is an expensive one.Cloud
computing allows users to access these resources remotely from data centers
operated by third-party providers. It offers high scalability, reliability, cost
efficiency and accessibility. This course deals with cloud architecture,
Virtualization and its infrastructure requirements, Cloud deployment and
security. It also presents a case study of the current cloud technologies.
Program Outcomes addressed

O
Engineering knowledge: Apply the knowledge of mathematics, science,
1 engineering fundamentals, and an engineering specialization to the
solution of complex engineering problems.
Problem analysis: Identify, formulate, research literature, and analyze
complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using
2
first principles of mathematics, natural sciences, and engineering
sciences.
Design/development of solutions: Design solutions for complex
engineering problems and design system components or processes that
3 meet the specified needs with appropriate consideration for the public
health and safety, and the cultural, societal, and environmental
considerations.
