A specialization in cloud computing takes you on a journey through cloud computing systems. We start at the middle tier with cloud computing concepts that cover basic concepts of distributed systems used within clouds, move to the cloud application layer, and finally to the cloud networking layer.
We conclude with a project that allows you to apply the skills you learned during the courses.
The first four courses in this training form the coursework component of the online Computer Science in Data Science degree program. You can apply to the degree program before or after you begin your internship.
