CSCI 5411

Cloud architecting covers all the technologies of cloud computing. Students will learn the best practices for building a well-architected cloud framework on AWS that contains operational excellence, cloud security, cloud reliability, performance efficiency, cost optimization, and sustainability. Students will enhance their understanding of what they learn by real industry case studies and hands-on labs. Students will gain experience in designing and implementing robust cloud architectures using cloud resources like compute (e.g. EC2), network (e.g. VPC), storage (e.g. S3, EBS, EFS), security (e.g. IAM), database (e.g. RDS, DynamoDB). Students will investigate many AWS cloud services to analyze the best choices for given use cases. Students will build a real project by doing a series of challenge labs.
