CLO835 - Portable Technologies in Cloud

Subject Title
Portable Technologies in Cloud

Subject Description
Students will learn the modern approach to application build and deployment with docker containers and immutable infrastructure.
Students will work with containerized applications hosted locally and in the public cloud environment to complete hands-on labs, in-class activities, and projects.
Students will gain the skills and learn the tools required to create containerized applications, deploy the applications to the locally and cloud-hosted Kubernetes clusters, maintain and scale the applications, and roll out new application versions. Students will get hands on experience with Kubernetes clusters and applications troubleshooting and understanding of the challenges of observability and operational aspects of the modern distributed cloud-native applications.

Camera Use and Recordings - Synchronous (Live) Classes
Synchronous (live) classes may be delivered in person, in a Flexible Learning space, or online through a Seneca web conferencing platform such as MS Teams or Zoom. Flexible Learning spaces are equipped with cameras, microphones, monitors and speakers that capture and stream instructor and student interactions, providing an in-person experience for students choosing to study online.

Students joining a live class online may be required to have a working camera in order to participate, or for certain activities (e.g. group work, assessments), and high-speed broadband access (e.g. Cable, DSL) is highly recommended. In the event students encounter circumstances that impact their ability to join the platform with their camera on, they should reach out to the professor to discuss. Live classes may be recorded and made available to students to support access to course content and promote student learning and success.

By attending live classes, students are consenting to the collection and use of their personal information for the purposes of administering the class and associated coursework. To learn more about Seneca's privacy practices, visit Privacy Notice.
