Cloud computing is about storing, accessing, and processing data and programs over the Internet. The “cloud” is just a metaphor for the Internet. One of the major advantages of using cloud services is that an on-premise big data infrastructure is not required; and scalability is not an issue. Cloud computing models offer the promise of massive cost savings combined with increased IT agility. It is considered critical that government and industry begin adoption of this technology in response to difficult economic constraints.

Topics covered in this introductory course include the benefits of the cloud, types of cloud architectures, cloud economics, making sense of virtualization and containers, as well as open source, enterprise, public, private, and hybrid cloud.
