Name
Course Cloud computing is a scalable services consumption and delivery platform that provides on-demand computing
Description service for shared pool of resources, namely servers, storage, networking, software, database, applications etc.,
over the internet. It is a model for enabling ubiquitous, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable
computing resources, which can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort. This
course will introduce various aspects of cloud computing, including fundamentals, management issues, security
challenges and future research trends.
