The education delivery methodology is a blend of classroom and experiential learning, comprising lab exercises, assignments, case studies, and work-integrated activities. The programme also uses a continuous evaluation system for regular assessment to provide timely and frequent feedback to enable working professionals keep track of their progress.
The degree can empower engineers and managers, who work in the areas, such as infrastructure management, data centre operations, cloud deployment, and network-embedded systems. The IT professionals in technical roles, such as DevOps Engineer, Systems Engineer, Network Administrators, Cloud Services Engineer, or techno-managerial roles, such as Infrastructure Lead/ Infrastructure Manager will also derive significant value by pursuing this programme, claims the institute.
Elaborating on the other key highlights of this programme, Prof. Anita Ramachandran, Head – the Computer Science and Information Systems group of BITS Pilani WILP, says, “Among various key aspects, the programme offers a set of courses that aid learners in understanding the design and the development of Cloud-native applications using existing services and APIs, and design and architectural choices made in a Cloud platform from a provider perspective. It will also help them design and implement a Cloud-native application prototype or migrate an existing solution and the continuous lifecycle of an application from development, deployment to management and operations.”
