Objective

This three-day, hands-on immersion course will introduce participants to three major cloud providers (Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform).

The UW-IT Research Computing team and the eScience Institute will host three half-day Cloud101 sessions on November 13, 14 and 15, 2017 for AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform respectively.

Each day (9am - 12pm) will focus on the basics of cloud computing on the public cloud:

Nov. 13 - Amazon Web Services (AWS) Nov. 14 - Microsoft Azure Nov. 15 - Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

We will focus on cloud computing terminology, creating a secure environment for your work, costing the cloud in advance, and granular cost management as you go. We will demonstrate the basic process of starting and configuring both virtual machines and cloud storage and will overview other key mechanisms that help you translate your computing to the public cloud. We will also share a number of early-adopter success stories.

Participants can choose to any or all of the days, but please be considerate and attend the workshops you register for.
