Cloud Computing With Big Data Applications

3 units

This course provides an overview of the tools necessary to harness big data on the cloud for real world analytic applications. Each lecture will cover an important cloud computing concept or framework, and will be accompanied by a lab. There will be an emphasis on hands-on experience through using each of the tools taught in this course in a small project. Topics include Cloud based security and storage, Linux, Docker and Kubernetes, Data modeling through JSON and SQL, Database concepts and storage architectures, distributed systems, and finally real-world applications. Labs will build on each other and require the completion of the previous week's lab. The course will end with a multi-week, open-ended final project.
