Aims and objectives
This unit prepares students to create cloud architectures that enable the development and deployment of applications into serverless computing frameworks. Students will undertake topics that include patterns, utilising CLI and development tools, migration and integration of applications, event-driven microservices and the use of containers.
Unit Learning Outcomes (ULO)
Students who successfully complete this unit will be able to:
1. Articulate the differences between varieties of software application architectures
2. Describe how to use the various cloud-based development tools and application services
3. Design, build and deploy cloud-based applications using cloud-based development tools and application services.
4. Define serverless computing and analyse serverless computing frameworks
5. Design, build and deploy a variety of serverless applications utilising remote interactions
