Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
60 class hours (= 45 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 150 hours (equivalent to 5 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 105 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
KI410 Distributed Systems 1
KI420 Operating Systems
KI510 Distributed Systems 2

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module, students will be able to name the basic concepts and service models of cloud computing. They will be able to explain the technological foundations of cloud computing and describe modern architectures.
 
Students will be able to describe advantages and disadvantages, as well as differences to traditional server-based applications, especially in terms of scalability and availability, and will be able to recognize the relationship between architecture and scalability.
 
Within the framework of a project, students will learn how to work together in small groups and will be able to design and implement scalable cloud-based applications.
