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.

Resources, literature and reference materials

Open access resources

Closed access resources

  • Carl Waldspurger, Mendel Rosenblum, “I/O virtualization”, Communications of ACM, 2012

Software and tools used within the course
