Cloud Computing Organization and Technologies

Modern information and communication technologies foresee the use of virtualization technology technologies for server systems, communication tools for distributed computing, and the development of software and hardware solutions for the construction and use of data centers. To manage remote resources, software solutions are required based on the use of virtualization systems as well as remote service functions, which generally creates opportunities for the organization and application of cloud computing technologies in the learning process and scientific research.
The subject of course is the principles and standards of technology operation and the development of software solutions based on cloud platforms.
The objective of the course is to increase the efficiency of business projects of organizations based on the technologies of cloud systems.
Tasks of the course:

• formation of theoretical knowledge and acquisition of practical skills in the use of distributed computing technologies, virtualization of server systems, designing of corporate computing systems and application of cluster and heterogeneous distributed computing systems for scientific research;
  formation of knowledge of the students in the field of technologies for managing the resources of remote distributed systems;
• formation of students understanding of the directions of development of global infrastructure, integrating the world's computer resources for the implementation of large-scale information and computing projects;
• solving typical tasks in business projects of enterprises using cloud technologies and platforms

Upon successful completion of this subject, students should be able to:

• competencies on the use of standards and technologies for the attraction and application of globally distributed computer resources provided on request for research and the use and adaptation of the computing environment of organizations from the level of startup to full-scale projects;
• students should have expertise in choosing architecture and building private and hybrid cloud computing systems, installing and configuring custom software for working on cloud-based systems based on the respective platforms.
