Abstract
Cloud Computing is a technology that allows to use the resources of large number of com-puters connected through a real-time communication network. By using cloud computing, you can gain access at any time through any device, via the Internet, to data and files which you have uploaded, or to software applications which you need to use for personal or professional use. Cloud сomputing being used more and more in business today and it is very important for any professional to understand what it is all about. This course defines Cloud Computing and establishes a strong working knowledge of the concepts and technologies needed to work effectively with the cloud. The course allows to understand what cloud computing is and how it works. It describes the benefits of cloud computing along with its potential drawbacks. The course enables to determine which сloud is appropriate from a business and technical perspective, to select appropriate сloud providers and to plan and implement a сloud adoption strategy. Formation of the theoretical knowledge and practical skills in practical realization of the benefits of cloud computing in today's business, learning the tools of the technology. The course covers technologies required to build classic (traditional), virtualized, and cloud data center environments. These technologies include compute, storage, networking, desktop and application virtualization.

- Exam testExamination format: The exam is taken written. The platform: The exam is taken on Ms Teams platform. Students are required to join a session 15 minutes before the beginning. The computers must meet the following technical requirements: https://docs.microsoft.com/ru-ru/microsoftteams/hardware-requirements-for-the-teams-app A student is supposed to follow the requirements below: Check your computer for compliance with technical requirements no later than 5 days before the exam; Sign in with your corporate account (@edu.hse.ru); Check your microphone, speakers or headphones, webcam, Internet connection (we recommend connecting your computer to the network with a cable, if possible); Prepare the necessary writing equipment, such as pens, pencils, pieces of paper, and others. Disable applications on the computer's task other than the MS Teams application or the browser that will be used to log in to the MS Teams platform. Students are not allowed to: Turn off the video camera; Use notes, textbooks, and other educational materials; Leave the place where the exam task is taken (go beyond the camera's viewing angle); Look away from your computer screen or desktop; Use smart gadgets (smartphone, tablet, etc.) Involve outsiders for help during the exam, talk to outsiders during the examination tasks; Read tasks out loud. Students are allowed to: Write on a piece of paper, use a pen for making notes and calculations; Turn on the microphone to answer the teacher’s questions; Ask a teacher for additional information related to understanding the exam task; Connection failures: A short-term communication failure during the exam is considered to be the loss of a student's network connection with the MS Teams platform for no longer than 1 minute. A long-term communication failure during the exam is considered to be the loss of a student's network connection with the MS Teams platform for longer than 1 minute. A student cannot continue to participate in the exam, if there is a long-term communication failure appeared. The retake procedure is similar to the exam procedure. In case of long-term communication failure in the MS Teams platform during the examination task, the student must notify the teacher, record the fact of loss of connection with the platform (screenshot, a response from the Internet provider). Then contact the manager of a program with an explanatory note about the incident to decide on retaking the exam.
