Résumé / Abstract :
This course first sheds light on core technologies behind cloud computing, namely heavy (hypervisors- based) and light (containter-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 developping an 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
