CLOUD COMPUTING

Course Description

This course aim at introducing the basic concepts of cloud computing. The course will start by explaining the difference between cloud computing and the traditional desktop computing. The course will cover topics such as the cloud service models: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS), and Identity as a service. The deployment models of cloud computing such as Public, private, community and hybrid cloud will be explained. Security issues of cloud computing and service provider will also be covered. At the end of the course student will have in depth knowledge of organizations that provide cloud services and the underlying infrastructure
