== Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs) ==

=== What is the main purpose of this course? ===

=== ILOs defined at three levels ===

==== Level 1: What concepts should a student know/remember/explain? ====
By the end of the course, the students should be able to ...
* Differ PaaS from IaaS and SaaS
* Explain the basic principles of virtualization
* Understand difference between containers and virtual machines
* Know criteria of choice between containers and virtual machines for different workloads
* Know memory management strategies and techniques
* Remember diffetent virtualization approaches
* Understand internals of PaaS and argue what is SaaS and what is PaaS

==== Level 2: What basic practical skills should a student be able to perform? ====
By the end of the course, the students should be able to ...
* Create a container based on cgroups interface
* Deploy an application into the cloud infrastructure
* Use PaaS API for debug and monitoring
* Tune performance of a virtual machine
* Estimate cost of public IaaS use vs on-premise deployment

==== Level 3: What complex comprehensive skills should a student be able to apply in real-life scenarios? ====
By the end of the course, the students should be able to ...
* Make weighted and reasonable architectural choices in virtualization and cloud domain

=== Recommendations for students on how to succeed in the course ===
Participation is important. Showing up is the key to success in this course. If you don’t have a corresponding technical background, please do not hesitate to ask lecturer. If you feel that the gap is deep, request for extra reading. Reading the recommended literature is optional, and will give you a deeper understanding of the material.
