Goal: The objective of the course is to get the students acquainted with cloud technologies. The
course focuses on security and services supporting a secure cloud environment such as
monitoring, compliance, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC). The students will be able to assume
an associate architect role where they will be able to evaluate existing designs and help the lead
architect.
The first section of the course gives a broad introduction into cloud services in general and as
the semester progresses the topics are narrowed towards security.
In addition to lectures the course also offers labs, where the students can use the environment of
their choice (either Microsoft Azure or AWS).
The demonstrations aim to give a basic, but usable knowledge, so that the students will be able
to further develop their skills or to assume an entry-level cloud engineer job.
In the cloud provider of their choice, the course covers a large part of the curriculum required
for the AZ-900, Azure Fundamentals or AWS Cloud Practitioner certifications.
Course description: Supported with the theoretical introduction, the course presents the two
selected could providers and gives a broad overview of the services available. The lectures in
the latter part of the course focus on security-related topics through real-world examples and
supported by labs. The demos cover topics from creation of a virtual machine to compliance
policies in AWS.
