Synopsis:

The goal of this course is to introduce the principles and technological foundations of cloud systems. Students will be introduced to the architectures of distributed systems, principles of application virtualization and they will learn how to use these technologies in practice. A fundamental part of the course is using containers, which is currently the most efficient technology for managing complex software systems. The practical part of the course covers tools for automatic configuration, testing, monitoring and deployment of virtualized applications.
