Educational Goals:
This course provides an overview of the challenges to face, and the technical solutions to embrace, when building large-scale, fault-tolerant, distributed and replicated real-time cloud services. These systems need to be capable of serving millions/billions of requests per second with industrial-grade reliability, availability and performance, and are composed of thousands of components spanning across millions of machines, worldwide. The course focuses on design, development and operations of scalable software systems, including big-data processing and analytics, where the huge volumes of data to handle mandates the use of heavily distributed algorithms. The course covers also basic concepts on architectures of data-centre/cloud infrastructures.
Prerequisites:
Computer architectures and networks
