Universidad de Jaén

Module 1: Introduction to Cloud Computing (8 hours)

In this module, we will introduce the concept of cloud computing and the economical foundations that make cloud computing make sense. Some fundamental concepts including software defined architectures and cloud services are introduced. 

As a practice, the following project will be carried out:  A study to determine how IT can be of strategic assistance using cloud computing.

Module 2: Virtualization (8 hours)

In this module we will study the concept of virtualization and related terms. The different virtualization solutions and the role they play in cloud computing. The infrastructure will be compared as a service offered by the big three: Google, Amazon and Microsoft.

As a practice, two projects will be carried out:

• Creation of a virtual machine with VirtualBox (export it to different formats).
• The start-up of a low-level cloud computing service or IaaS (infrastructure as a service). 

Module 3: PaaS and cloud services (14 hours)

The concept of Platform as a Service will be studied. Different services will be studied such as Google Cloud IoT Core and Google App Engine.

Two projects are proposed:

• Practical application of Docker containers.
• Cloud Databases.
• Creation and deployment of an application using PaaS.

Module 4: SaaS and cloud services (2 hours)

This module will present the concept of Software as a Service.

Proposed project: SaaS examples.

Teaching methodology and learning activities

Schedule

The schedule can vary mainly due to the change from multi-modal scenario to the online one.

Evaluation system

There are no changes in the evaluation format (weights of each section) or in what is specified in the detailed evaluation.

Since the evaluation of the subject is continuous, there will only be an exam in the event that the student opts for the Single Test Evaluation, which is summarized in the following tables:

Ordinary call

Extraordinary call

Resources

Given that the attendance in the large group lectures and in the classes in practice groups is 100%, no exceptional resources are foreseen for them.

Students with special educational needs should contact the Student Attention Service (Servicio de Atención y Ayudas al Estudiante) in order to receive the appropriate academic support

The evaluation process consists of:

• The evaluation of the tasks defined in the Teaching Guide during the Teaching period.

Final assessment

The students will pass the subject through this evaluation method by getting a mark higher or equal than 5.0 out of 10 in the overall result (continuous evaluation and written exam).The final exam is weighted in the following way:

• Attendance and participation.
• Theoretical concepts and Exercises, problems and study cases.
• Laboratory and computer practical work (proyects)
