Content

In this class, we will cover a range of topics around cloud computing:
  • Cloud Computing Overview
  • Virtualization
  • Containers
  • Isolation
  • Resource Management
  • Security Issues
  • Efficiency
  • Storage
  • Centralized vs. Decentralized
As a new class, we're expecting to start with a smaller number of students and work in teams to build our own hypervisor as a central concept in many cloud computing systems.

Objective

After attending Cloud Operating Systems, students have a basic understanding of system-level concepts in modern clouds. They understand the basic tasks of a hypervisor as well as possible approaches to their implementation. Furthermore, they understand the necessary cooperation of the hypervisor with the operating system and the underlying hardware. Students are able to implement a real hypervisor on their own.
