Résumé / Abstract :
This course first sheds light on core technologies behind cloud computing, namely heavy (hypervisors- based) and light (container-based) virtualization of application and services, as well as the virtualization of the network with Software Defined Networking (SDN). The technologies, e.g., the challenges faced when developing a hypervisors or the core concepts of SDN as compared to traditional networking solutions will be introduced in details and illustrated with dedicated labs

Prérequis / Prerequisite :
Good background both in operating systems and networking from a theoretical (core functions of an OS or TCP/IP networking stack) and practical perspective (management of a Linux machine).

Objectifs / Objectives :

• Understand the core concepts of heavy and light virtualization system designs
• Aquire practical skills on hypersors, containers and SDN

Contenu / Contents :

• Session 1 (3h) General intro IaaS, SaaS, PaaS + Intro virtualization

• Session 2 (4h) Heavy/light virt + Lab Virtualization Vagrant/Docker

• Session 5 (3h) Exam (Multiple Choice Questions) (1h) + Presentation of research papers.
• Session6(4h)Lab1 SDN
• Session 7 (3h) Lab 2 SDN
• Session 8 (3h) Final exam
