Cloud Computing is the on-demand availability of computer system resources, especially data storage and computing power, without direct active management by the user. The term is generally used to describe data centres available to many users over the internet. Large clouds, predominant today, often have functions distributed over multiple locations from central servers. If the connection to the user is relatively close, it may be designated as an edge server. A report by Great Learning estimates that there will be more than a million cloud computing job roles in India by 2024 as more and more organisations shift their operations to the cloud infrastructure. Applied Cloud Computing is a course which gives students an understanding of cloud computing and teaches them to store, manage, process, share and collaborate on data and information with high speed and accuracy. Cloud computing is one of the latest technological changes from local servers to using the network of remote servers. Hands-On Students need to create and use their own AWS/Azure account for hands-on. The above mentioned hands-on configuration will be leveraged by the students to complete the industry assignment as well as to complete the Part B section of the summative assessment.
