Course Objectives The objective of this course is to provide information about Cloud Computing and virtualization. The course gives fundamentals of Cloud and Virtualization from both business and technology perspective. Creating multiple instances on a single physical system, and the types of virtualization being used in cloud computing, such as OS, server, storage, network virtualization, will be examined in detail. Furthermore, business benefits, costs and security implications of Cloud Computing and virtualization will also be addressed.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Describe the concept of Cloud Computing and the supporting technologies behind.
  • Describe the benefits and costs of Cloud Computing and virtualization
  • Describe hypervisors, paravirtualization, full virtualization and hardware support for virtualization.
  • Gain knowledge and skills to create and use multiple Virtual Machine instances on Cloud and bare-metal environment.
  • Describe the security implications of Cloud Computing and virtualization.
Course Content Cloud description, types of cloud, services, deployment models, types of virtualization, hardware virtualization, hypervisors, OS virtualization, server virtualization, desktop virtualization, storage virtualization, application virtualization, benefits and costs, security issues.
