Architectures for Scale-out Systems

Education facts

Code: DIT291

In this course, students learn the key concepts, architectural building blocks, approaches, and concrete tools that technology leaders, such as Microsoft or Google, use to design, deploy, and operate large scale-out Web-based applications. We discuss, evaluate, and experiment with basic architectural building blocks of scale-out systems, enabling technologies and concepts (e.g., cloud computing and deployment automation), advanced resilience engineering techniques (e.g., canary releases and chaos engineering), and current research results in the area of scale-out systems. Underlying themes of the course will be a focus on infrastructure automation and data-driven decision-making as the foundations of scale-out systems.
