About the Course

In the cloud networking course, we will see what the network needs to do to enable cloud computing. We will explore current practice by talking to leading industry experts, as well as looking into interesting new research that might shape the cloud network’s future. This course will allow us to explore in-depth the challenges for cloud networking—how do we build a network infrastructure that provides the agility to deploy virtual networks on a shared infrastructure, that enables both efficient transfer of big data and low latency communication, and that enables applications to be federated across countries and continents? Examining how these objectives are met will set the stage for the rest of the course. This course places an emphasis on both operations and design rationale—i.e., how things work and why they were designed this way. We're excited to start the course with you and take a look inside what has become the critical communications infrastructure for many applications today....

Very good course. The videos content is very engaging and the assignments and quizzes are neither too hard nor to easy. Learned a lot in this course! Thank you very much to the professors and staff.

Fun and intuitive lecture!

Personally I couldn't read additional papers cause I'm not just a student but full time software engineer. Fortunately the quizes require me to read small amount of papers, or even part of paper, but anyway the lecture requires somewhat too many hours in a week to follow up with reading contents, which is not always possible for everyone.

The week5 program assignments are too easy (I didn't even code 10 lines for each, maybe less than 20 lines for all 3 assignments), basically it feels me as basic python programming, whereas there have been some learners who struggled with python.

Other things are all perfect! Worth to recommend!

This was an excellent short course about key issues and solutions for data center networks. We read important papers on topics including data center network design, congestion handling schemes and network virtualization. The programming assignment were very helpful and gives one an appreciation of the power that SDN brings in programming a network through writing a few lines of code (and not having to CLI into switches to change configurations). I learnt alot from this course.

I liked this course, the teachers are very clear and present interesting content and provide reference to addionnal reading to go beyond the course videos. The only weak point is the assignment which I believe is too easy (but still interesting as an experimentation, it is just that most of the work is already provided)

The content of this course is presented more clearly than that of the two courses before it. The tutors are engaging speakers. The programming assignments provide some interaction, which is better than nothing, but they are very unchallenging. Setting up and configuring the VM took more time than the programming.

Course is really helpful if you want learn more in-depth about cloud networking. But it should give basic python training or some material about coding with python, because it didn't have requirements for it and it was totally new coding language for me so I struggled a bit with programming assignments.

This course is very well structured. The lectures are both informative and entertaining. Assignments are quite simple if you already know Python. The amount of reading required is a bit excessive IMO. But most are well worth a read. I'd highly recommend this course.

The video lectures were excellent. So much so that I wish they covered more of the material rather than relying on reading academic papers. Thanks!

Good overview of Cloud Networking but since it's a fast moving field, this course is probably out-of-date already. But... I still learn plenty.

Very interesting but a lot of material in few time... very complex to be covered (and to be assimilated)

The materials of the course are not deep but can test your interest in this area
