Cloud computing is the on-demand delivery of compute power, database, storage, applications, and other IT resources over the Internet with pay-as-you-go pricing.
Driven by competition from born-in-the-cloud, innovative FinTech companies, and consumer demand for more efficient, customer-centered services, financial institutions around the globe are embracing the cloud. This course helps students build and validate basic cloud skills. The course covers four topics, including: cloud concepts, security, technology, and billing and pricing. We look at different deployment and service models, along with key cloud concepts and some use cases for cloud technology:
- Cost Management
- Web Applications
- Machine Learning
- NoSQL Database
The course is based on the Amazon Web Services (AWS): AWS is the world's most comprehensive and widely adopted cloud platform.
The course will also include a guest lecture from an international company where the students will be introduced to relevant business practices such as combining data science and cloud computing.
