Internship – a four-part course series

This specialization includes a series of intensive, hands-on courses designed for IT professionals, with the goal of providing them with in-depth experience in developing different layers of cloud computing infrastructure. This includes:

  • Software-defined networks
  • Distributed runtime systems
  • Application development
  • Network functions virtualization

Each course (approximately 4-5 hour-long videos) is organized as a dialogue about the technical details of the topic, based on selected readings from academic articles and other online resources. Each video is accompanied by a prepared “hands-on workshop” (approximately 2 hours of development work) that includes code development and experimentation using a cloud platform.

Hands-on Learning Project

Each of the four courses has a final project based on the practical workshops associated with the course lectures. For example, in the SDN course, students are expected to design, implement, and test a software-defined network (SDN) for a distributed server, supporting a variety of services, from standard web pages to real-time applications such as sensor broadcasts and video players.
