TE 212 - Cloud Computing

Credit Hours: 3

This course introduces students to the foundations of Cloud computing including its service and deployment models, platforms, trends, architectures, networking, integrations, and governing frameworks. Techniques and principles used to migrate, design, develop, and implement Cloud-based solutions will be discussed. Through case studies and hands-on exercises, students will learn how to administer, design, and deploy Cloud-based solutions to meet business requirements. Lectures, interactive learning, demonstrations, and site visits will be employed. Hands-on laboratory exercises will be required.
