This is the course plan for the second semester of the academic year 2022/2023. To check whether the course is being run this semester, go to the Virtual Campus section More UOC / The University / Programmes of study section on Campus. Once teaching starts, you'll be able to find it in the classroom. The course plan may be subject to change. | |||||
In this subject, the fundamental concepts of Cloud Computing will be presented in a vision from the most general to the most applied. For this, conceptual and practical aspects will be analyzed and the student will carry out activities to consolidate knowledge on different aspects that are part of the functional base of these technological environments. Aspects such as infrastructures, operating systems, deployment environments, and most important actors (private and public) will be analyzed among others. This subject assumes that the student has minimal knowledge about the operating systems internals and deployment and service environments. Considering this, the subject starts from a basic level of the Linux Operating System (since it is an essential factor in the technological ecosystems of Cloud Computing and services) and increases its complexity in the next modules until explains the different parts, services, and environments that are used today in the business and private/ institutional infrastructures. |
|||||
The knowledge taught in this subject will allow to the student obtain skills and competencies for different aspects related to Cloud Computing. This knowledge will be centred on some aspects such as design & deployment of virtual infrastructures & services, configuration and management, and services performance analysis and which are an essential part of the professional skills in business environments and also in private development environments or institutional environments among others. | |||||
For the development of this subject, very basic knowledge of information systems is required, and minimal skills about computers and operating systems, since the rest will be essential contents of the course. The methodology includes case studies, reading of technical documentation about the Linux operating system, administration and management, virtualization, cloud computing infrastructures, deployment of services and administration, and monitoring of infrastructures as well as the autonomous search for information. In this aspect, the student must have skills with the advanced use of Internet Search Engines, the analysis of quantitative and qualitative information, the ability to synthesize and obtain conclusions, as well as having oral and written communication skills. Likewise, it is also necessary that students can read and understand documents in English; since the material and bibliography / referenced documents are in this language.

The objectives that the student is expected to achieve through this subject are the following: -Understand the concepts and formal definitions associated with operating systems & cloud computing infrastructures that process user data. -Know how to distinguish and configure the different parts of the operating systems processes & services and cloud computing infrastructure considering aspects such as management, performance and security. -Understand the most appropriate technologies for the deployment of Cloud Computing infrastructures securely and efficiently, considering aspects such as scalability, performance evaluation and high availability aspects. -Know the main actors available in the Cloud Computing ecosystem such as hypervisors, IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, open-source cloud infrastructures (i.e. OpenNebula), environments (i.e. Proxmox) and public cloud (i.e. AWS, Azure). -Understanding the concepts of automated and verified deployment of infrastructures and applying these concepts to use benchmarks in the cloud providers will be considered. The subject is organized into six modules, and four challenges (carrying out the corresponding PAC activities). |

The assessment process is based on the student's personal work and presupposes authenticity of authorship and originality of the exercises completed. Lack of authenticity of authorship or originality of assessment tests, copying or plagiarism, the fraudulent attempt to obtain a better academic result, collusion to copy or concealing or abetting copying, use of unauthorized material or devices during assessment, inter alia, are offences that may lead to serious academic or other sanctions. Firstly, you will fail the course (D/0) if you commit any of these offences when completing activities defined as assessable in the course plan, including the final tests. Offences considered to be misconduct include, among others, the use of unauthorized material or devices during the tests, such as social media or internet search engines, or the copying of text from external sources (internet, class notes, books, articles, other students' essays or tests, etc.) without including the corresponding reference. And secondly, the UOC's academic regulations state that any misconduct during assessment, in addition to leading to the student failing the course, may also lead to disciplinary procedures and sanctions. The UOC reserves the right to request that students identify themselves and/or provide evidence of the authorship of their work, throughout the assessment process, and by the means the UOC specifies (synchronous or asynchronous). For this purpose, the UOC may require students to use a microphone, webcam or other devices during the assessment process, and to make sure that they are working correctly. The checking of students' knowledge to verify authorship of their work will under no circumstances constitute a second assessment. |
