Cloud computing basics with some hands-on for Foster School Of Business
Objective/Abstract
This overview lecture introduces the public cloud computing environment in the context of our Research-centric mission; where we pivot to address cloud technology in the context of Enterprise computing. Attendees will learn what comprises the cloud both in terms of core technologies and considering peripheral issues including cost management, data security, web frameworks, collaborative tools and cloud-related elements of project management.
