About Cloud Computing - AWS
The Cloud Computing program prepares students to design solutions for Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) architectures by
provisioning computing instances, establishing virtual private networks, and managing databases and storage within a secure online environment. Students produce dynamic solutions responsive to information and computing technology workloads with on-demand pay-as-you-go pricing allowing flexibility for small business, entrepreneurship, and enterprise adoption. Industry certifications are Program Proposal Attributes embedded to prepare for occupations in Cloud Architect, Cloud Support Associate, Cloud Engineer, or Cloud Technicians. Some preparation in information technology or computer programming is recommended.

Prerequisite: CIS 192
Advisory: CO SCI 434 or CIS 219.
Lecture: 2 hrs, Lab: 2 hrs
This course introduces AWS' data storage services. It covers introduction of AWS database technologies and AWS block and object-based storage services. Students learn the principles of database design and management, AWS SQL and NoSQL database technologies. Students use principles of block and object-based storage options. They will study various use case scenario for AWS data storage services. The hands-on labs will allow them to apply the knowledge acquired.
Prerequisite: CIS 192
Lecture: 2 hrs, Lab: 2 hrs
This course introduces AWS (Amazon Web Services) computing related services. Students will learn about the core computing services offered by AWS. The computing services will follow the computing models: Infrastructure as a Service, Platform as a Service, Function as a Service or Micro-services and server less computing (Lambda functions). Students will set up and manage computing services, configure auto scaling and load balancing. Students will learn to code auto deployment scripts to automate the management of AWS infrastructure.
Prerequisite: CIS 192
Lecture: 2 hrs, Lab: 2 hrs
This course explores AWS (Amazon Web Services) security at both the AWS services layer and Amazon data center infrastructure layer. This course will review how Amazon Web Services implements security measures in their global data center infrastructure. Student will learn about the AWS security shared responsibility model and how to use Amazon security and monitoring tool to ensure security in an AWS cloud infrastructure. Student will learn about how AWS security tools can provide hardware, service, network and user activity monitoring, key management services, server and application firewall services and an introduction to implementing private and public subnets.
