Cloud computing (CC) is emerging as a promising solution to businesses and individual users. In order to effectively teach knowledge of CC we have developed three course modules, one education tool, and one real world project. These modules have been successfully taught in COMP 621 Web Security course in Spring 2011, Spring 2012 and Spring 2013 in the Department of Computer Science at XXXX. Our experience exhibits that teaching these modules helped students not only understand the need of CC, but also gained significant knowledge of CC and security architecture. Through a laboratory exercise and a real world project students gained hands-on experience. Studentsâ survey and feedback reflected that these modules and the laboratory exercise are very valuable in their educational experience. These modules and hands-on laboratory exercise could be used in software engineering, networking, Web security and other first year graduate level courses.
Cloud Computing recently emerged as a promising solution to information technology (IT) management. IT managers look to cloud computing as a means to maintain a flexible and scalable IT infrastructure that enables business agility. In this paper Cloud Computing services including data storage service, cloud computing operating system and software as a service will be introduced, Cloud Computing security challenges will be discussed and Cisco Secure Cloud Data Center Framework will be presented.
