Prerequisits
Basics of architecture of distributed computer systems. 
Content (Syllabus outline)
• Introduction to cloud computing (cloud storage, architecture, cloud service types, deployment models, sample architectures) • Parallel and distributed computer system models (clusters, grids, peer-to-peer, clouds) • Clustering (MPP architectures, design principles, scheduling methods, case studies) • Virtualization (CPU, memory, I/O devices; resource management; data centres; programming models - MapReduce) • Tools for management and supervision in cloud • Hardware units in installation of IaaS, hypervisor • Service models IaaS and PaaS • Private, public, community, and volunteer cloud architectures • Evolution of computer architectures, i.e., distributed/utility/cloud/grid/ computing, cloud platform services, solution examples • Capacity planning, scheduling and elasticity, HPC architectures and clients, tools to manage HPC • Advanced algorithm in cloud computing, HPC, parallel and distributed processing of large-scale data • Software, cloud application lifecycle, solutions in practice • Cloud security (introduction, securing the resources within cloud, securing data, security solutions, etc.) • Future of the Internet (ubiquitous cloud computing and the Internet of things, etc.)

Objectives and competences
The objectives of this course is to provide students with an overview of the cloud computing, to acquaint them with basic building blocks of this technology, in cloud computing deployment and management. 
Intended learning outcomes - knowledge and understanding
On completion of this course the student will be able to: • explain the basic concepts of cloud computing architecture, • apply these basic concepts for building the data centres, • understand the concept of virtualization and its application for building cloud computing, • distinguish the different service architectures of cloud computing, to be familiar with their advantages and weaknesses.  
Intended learning outcomes - transferable/key skills and other attributes
• Communication skills: oral lab work defence, manner of expression at written examination. • Use of information technology and problem solving: use the concept of cloud storage, and apply the MapReduce programming model.  
Learning and teaching methods
• lectures, • lab work.
