Learning Outcome:

Practical exercises - related to the content of the lecture. The design principles of distributed systems protocols and algorithms are deployed mainly to an emergent real cloud system (Amazon Web Services). Students will learn to distribute large-scale applications leveraging various cloud services: EC2, Docker, AWS Lambda, AWS S3 storage, as well as Redis, MapReduce, and MongoDB. Mainly, the design and implementation will be performed by using Java and cloud API. Each student can get a student voucher by Amazon and perform all work without additional cost.

Contents:

Java/Python and cloud API for EC2, Docker, AWS Lambda, AWS S3, Redis, MapReduce, and MongoDB.

Prerequisites:

Computer Networking, Databases, Java programming, Java Multithreading
