Cloud Engineering

MASTERS | CERTIFICATE | ON-CAMPUS | ONLINE

Stand out among IT professionals with the technical skills needed to build and maintain cloud infrastructure.

Cloud engineers are responsible for the design, implementation, and maintenance of cloud-based systems. They work with a variety of stakeholders, including business users, IT professionals, and cloud providers, to ensure that cloud-based systems meet the needs of the organization.

The demand for cloud engineers is growing rapidly, as more and more organizations move their IT infrastructure to the cloud.

Courses explore cost efficiency, resource utilization, industry ecosystem, role of cloud in the enterprise, and driving business value using cloud technology, as well as the three cloud models: Software-as-a- Service (SaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS).
