Welcome to the Cloud Computing Applications course, the first part of a two–course series designed to give you a comprehensive view on the world of Cloud Computing and Big Data! In this first course we cover a multitude of technologies that comprise the modern concept of cloud computing. Cloud computing is an information technology revolution that has just started to impact many enterprise computing systems in major ways, and it will change the face of computing in the years to come. We start the first week by introducing some major concepts in cloud computing, the economics foundations of it and we introduce the concept of big data. We also cover the concept of software defined architectures, and how virtualization results in cloud infrastructure and how cloud service providers organize their offerings. In week two, we cover virtualization and containers with deeper focus, including lectures on Docker, JVM and Kubernates. We finish up week two by comparing the infrastructure as a service offering by the big three: Amazon, Google and Microsoft. Week three moves to higher level of cloud offering, including platform as a service, mobile backend as a service and even serverless architectures. We also talk about some of the cloud middleware …

Rakesh M –
Excellent course for introduction to Cloud Computing. Bcakground information might be needed to do the quizzes, but the course really gives a great introduction to cloud computing. Both professors are very easy to understand, thank you!
Punnavenu –
if given even more real time examples and practical explaination
Gautam S –
Great course and content
Aditya K –
I would have loved less content and more deep dive.
Ezequiel A –
Amazing course!
Michael M –
This was a great course.
Luis R –
Great course. Looking forward to completing the whole specialization!
Edwin B –
An ok survey, but it covers too many topics, without going in depth on any of them; despite using a lot of time informing about how great each technology is. If they cut out 1/2 of the cheerleading about how great everything is, and how flexible everything is, then perhaps there would have been time for presentation of examples, so we could see how easy it is instead of just hearing about it.
Hugo A A S D –
Nice course but too much theory.
LAKSHAYE V –
Excellent videos with appropriate quizzes to check the analyse the depth of learning
Nguyen C T –
Very good
Luis F P –
The flow of the course was so natural and well explained.
Vinayaka R C –
nice
Anurag D –
great course
Dronesh D –
A really good course to present the entire landscape of Cloud Infrastructure in a concise format. Course provides a good comparison of all the latest technologies and offerings. This will really help anyone working or aspiring to work in this space to make better decisions and choose the optimal solutions.
Rizwan H –
its Best course for me i’m very satisfied and get knowledge, its better for my future
Kamath S S –
very good and insightful course for beginners
Amit P –
The course covers lots of areas and you hear lots of keywords. But it doesn’t cover any of the aspects in depth. For me it was very basic course and having some practical aspects would have made it a much interesting course.
Iga R –
interesting topics but explanation is sometimes unclear
lowell s –
Great course on the foundations of the cloud. Excellent Lectures
Pranav v –
Course was good

Not what I expected after the last two courses in the cloud specialization. A lot of the information has already been covered in the last two courses from a more detailed theoretical level. This is more of a non technical level overview of some popular and some random cloud tools covered at a level that is not technical enough to gain anything from but in too much tedious detail to be consumable for the parts that are interesting. This course could be condensed into a few page tradeoff table of the services and applications covered.
Cenxui L –
good to learn about cloud
Debasis D –
Good Course provided by Coursera. Thank you
Zhaoyang L –
Like Wikipedia on some popular cloud products.
Suresh V –
I am disappointed with this course. The course content was designed and developed in a hurry as it seems to me.
Erdem Y –
A chart of comparison between technologies and storage systems would be nice to have with frequent quiz. You need to digest and remember loads of terminology then start a graded quiz, which makes it hard to pass, if you pause the course for a day or two
ASHISH M –
Excellent course covering the core concepts of cloud and distributed systems.
Craig K –
This course had great content (best of the first 3) and covers a lot of the key technologies used in cloud systems.
gaurav –
Should include some progrmming assignment. Also, some practice on the real cloud.
AJ C –
Relevant topics, bad lectures. Lots of Jargon, not enough context. Went straight into “how” technologies work without properly explaining why technologies were needed.
Ibrahim M –
very good course , i like it
David P T –
Good class overall; I was a little disappointed when I finished the programming assignment but was unable to submit because the website appeared to be down. Class is heavy on basic theory; you won’t directly learn about using cloud providers such as AWS….
Sreenivasulu B –
Great introductory course!
Paulo F –
Good training content and well structured
Michael –
Very good high level overview and compare/contrast of cloud technologies.
Weidong X –
I learned a little about a lot of things.
Camara L D –
Excellent course
Harshal M –
Course content was too good. It covers all basic topi
Vara V –
The course is not difficult compared to the two earlier courses. It is fun to learn.
Edwin G –
It was difficult to follow the lectures quite often. Sentences weren’t clear and consistent at times. The course more or less felt like it was being read from a prompt and not very engaging. I would like to have seen more enthusiasm from the lectures. In addition, I don’t think that there was a lot of depth into the core technologies that built the tools that were taught. Basically, the course felt like it was more about tools than concepts. For example, I don’t understand the point of spending 12 minutes talking about the DropBox API.
