Cloud Computing (CC) has disruptively joined the mainstream of Information & Communication Technology as a paradigm shifting computing from being a product to becoming a utility/service. This course introduces students to the fundamentals of CC, by first inspecting its evolving through computing history, how it evolved to becoming a paradigm, then investigating its principles, services, models, and the enabling technologies behind, e.g., virtualization and distributed systems. The course exposes students to Openstack, as the most renowned open-source CC infrastructure. Therefore, it provides them with real-world skills to deploy their own private cloud. The course concludes with Edge Computing as the next step in CC evolution.
