In the cloud networking course, we will see what the network needs to do to enable cloud computing. We will explore current practice by talking to leading industry experts, as well as looking into interesting new research that might shape the cloud network’s future. This course will allow us to explore in–depth the challenges for cloud networking—how do we build a network infrastructure that provides the agility to deploy virtual networks on a shared infrastructure, that enables both efficient transfer of big data and low latency communication, and that enables applications to be federated across countries and continents? Examining how these objectives are met will set the stage for the rest of the course. This course places an emphasis on both operations and design rationale—i.e., how things work and why they were designed this way. We’re excited to start the course with you and take a look inside what has become the critical communications infrastructure for many applications today. The University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign is a world leader in research, teaching and public engagement, distinguished by the breadth of its programs, broad academic excellence, and internationally renowned faculty and alumni. Illinois serves the world by creating knowledge, preparing students for lives …

The video lectures were excellent. So much so that I wish they covered more of the material rather than relying on reading academic papers. Thanks!
Manuel F –
Great and valuable knowledge, focused explanations, great teachers. One of the best courses in the specialization.
Tan J –
Good overview, but lack in details, lectures are to short. Assignments didn’t really reflect the complexity of the content that is taught in the lectures.
Brendan M –
A phenomenal course on the challenges and solutions of today’s Cloud infrastructures. The material is high quality and sourced from the best in the world. I’m extremely satisfied.

This was an excellent short course about key issues and solutions for data center networks. We read important papers on topics including data center network design, congestion handling schemes and network virtualization. The programming assignment were very helpful and gives one an appreciation of the power that SDN brings in programming a network through writing a few lines of code (and not having to CLI into switches to change configurations). I learnt alot from this course.
Flavio A d C J –
Great Course. Content is very rich and assignments are very good to illustrate the concepts.
Fillipe d S S –
It was very exciting course
Kyran S –
This was a decent course. Some informative, big picture information but I felt that it lacked some hands on understanding. The minor hands on labs that were provided, were challenging for anyone that is not familiar with Python script writing. I would suggest that you brush up on that before being comfortable with taking this course.

Emerging helpful Course will lead to fully advanced skills in cloud networking ,traffic analysis & troubleshooting latest Issues.
Oresztesz M –
Very good course, with well prepared materials. Programming assignments were a bit too easy.
Walter K –
Cloud Networking (University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign) is a great class
Claudio M –
Great insight into networking in complex clouds! Fantastic approach: videos but also scientific papers!
Jorg S –
I loved the cloud networking course. After the great disappointment with the cloud applications course, and because I am not a “networking guy”, I wasn’t sure what to expect of this. But the highly professional Prof. Godfrey and Prof. Singla got me motivated from the start. They really know their stuff, and know how to teach. There were a lot of papers to read for this course, and the reading was actually required to answer some questions in the quizzes. It took me a lot of time, but it was worth it. The assignments were also well prepared and offered interesting insights. My only criticism: the programming work was too simple. Overall, I had to write less than 10 lines of code.
Syed A N R –
Best course ever! Very well thought about content. Requires you to go beyond just the videos and assignments. Far far better that course 3 & 4 of Cloud Specialization.
Kristaps I –
It was useful but there could be a bit more and in depth practical tasks to cover more complex problems.
Zhikun L –
The materials of the course are not deep but can test your interest in this area
Miklos A R –
Great course, I really enjoyed everything, the content, the style of the guys, the exams and the programming assignments. Now I understand much more on SDN and traffic engineering than before the course.
Nguyen Q T –
it very useful for me, i like all assignments
Prashant S –
Very useful course for anyone who wants to learn about how public cloud networking works! Thanks for this course.
Daiqian Z –
The program assignment is very well designed.
Emmanuel O –
Its a great course with well details theories
HUSSEIN M H –
I think this course it very good
Adam K –
Good, up to date information kept fairly brief and to the point.
Jungtaek L –
Fun and intuitive lecture! Personally I couldn’t read additional papers cause I’m not just a student but full time software engineer. Fortunately the quizes require me to read small amount of papers, or even part of paper, but anyway the lecture requires somewhat too many hours in a week to follow up with reading contents, which is not always possible for everyone. The week5 program assignments are too easy (I didn’t even code 10 lines for each, maybe less than 20 lines for all 3 assignments), basically it feels me as basic python programming, whereas there have been some learners who struggled with python. Other things are all perfect! Worth to recommend!
Danny K –
I really enjoyed this class but be ready for some tough programming assignments.
An G –
Nice course.
Roque B L –
Very interesting but a lot of material in few time… very complex to be covered (and to be assimilated)
Balu R –
Excellent content and well thought out Quizzes. Programming assignments can be made a little more detailed.
Mohamed A M –
Very interesting course
Niels R –
The content of this course is presented more clearly than that of the two courses before it. The tutors are engaging speakers. The programming assignments provide some interaction, which is better than nothing, but they are very unchallenging. Setting up and configuring the VM took more time than the programming.
Sourav B –
The course on networking with so less labs, it can never help a regular student who wants to work in the industry. Not happy with the course content.
Srishti D –
This course was the best in the entire specialisation. The tutors were too good, very very dedicated.
Michael M –
Super course that dives into details of cloud computing networking. Very insightful for a software engineer.
Sudeep S –
Great course! Would have liked to see a longer version of this course. Learned a lot!
Rajesh R H –
it was good
Ahmed M A K –
Boring
Ted G –
The lectures were extensive but pretty good. The assignment was very problematic and not clear.
Anup K A –
Very much informative
Cristopher F –
Excellent course!
SAURABH K –
NICE
Austin Z –
So far this is the best course in the cloud computing specialization. This course has the quality and depth of a college course and not just some online common knowledge. The quizzes and projects are both fair and relevant. Recommend having a basic understanding of networking before taking this course as this course is specifically about networking applied to the cloud environment.
Vasily L –
A well prepared and well delivered course. First two courses of this specialization (CCC p1 and 2) set the bar high but these guys were really amazing. Enjoyed watching videos. There was plenty of reading materials suggested, which you, in fact, need to read in order to be able to complete assignments. The assignments were tricky enough to help to get deeper into the topic. Liked the programming assignment as well because it didn’t require much programming skills but was interesting and fun to do and allowed to understand some basics about what SDN controllers might do.
Jeetandra K –
Not much depth in contents.
Xue, L –
great course and great assignment
Erik H –
Very good course. The videos content is very engaging and the assignments and quizzes are neither too hard nor to easy. Learned a lot in this course! Thank you very much to the professors and staff.
Sreenivasulu B –
Great course!
Won K –
Good overview of Cloud Networking but since it’s a fast moving field, this course is probably out of date already. But… I still learn plenty.
