Program overview

What Wilkes University says about their program:

Organizations increasingly operate the digital systems that underpin their business not on their own hardware, but on infrastructure owned and managed by third-party providers — often referred to as "the cloud". As a Cloud Computing major, you'll master the design, development and security skills that are unique to this rapidly-growing industry.

You will develop broadly-applicable knowledge in virtualization, load balancing, caching, reliability and security for elastic, high availability container, and clustering environments. You’ll also gain experience in not one, but a variety of cloud computing platforms including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform.
