Cilj predmeta je pridobiti znanja za razvoj inovativnih računalniških storitev in aplikacij, ki se izvajajo v oblaku (Cloud). Računalništvo v oblaku pomembno spreminja načine razvoja aplikacij in pri predmetu se bomo spoznali s koncepti, arhitekturami in tehnologijami za oblak – s tako imenovano cloud-native arhitekturo.
Poleg tega, da bomo osvojili poglobljeno znanje in poznavanje področja računalništva v oblaku in vseh nivojev storitvene usmerjenosti (XaaS; Iaas, PaaS in SaaS), bomo podrobno spoznali arhitekturni model, vzorce in najboljše prakse za razvoj cloud-native aplikacij, kar vključuje množico konceptov.
Začeli bomo z arhitekturo mikrostoritev in podrobno spoznali razvojne vzorce za mikrostoritve. To bomo združili z vsebniki (conatinerji) Docker (in ostalimi) ter mikro-kerneli. Spoznali se bomo z orodji za orkestracijo vsebnikov, predvsem Kubernetes (in ostalimi).
Nadaljevali bomo s spoznavanjem konceptov cloud-native arhitekture: storitvami, asinhronimi vzorci klicanja storitev, prekinjevalci toka, reaktivnim modelom razvoja mikrostoritev, pretočnimi dogodki (event streaming aka Apache Kafka), konfiguracijo, odkrivanjem storitev (service discovery), preverjanjem vitalnosti (health check), metrikami, varnostjo, odpornostjo na napake in drugimi.
Cilj bo razumeti in razviti oblačne aplikacije, ki se izvajajo na odporni in elastični (resilient and elastic) oblačni infrastrukturi in platformi in razumeti, kako te aplikacije delujejo in kako jih nameščamo na različne ponudnike oblačnih storitev (Amazon AWS, Google AppEngine, Microsoft Azure, Cloud Foundry in druge). V okviru predmeta se bomo spoznali z najpopularnejšimi PaaS platformami. Spoznali bomo koncepte zasebnih, javnih in hibridnih oblakov. Prav tako bomo vzpostavili lasten zasebni/hibridni računalniški oblak.
Obenem se bomo spoznali s praksami DevOps, ki so nujne za razvoj oblačnih rešitev ter spoznali koncepte in projekte CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation), kot so Kubernetes, Prometheus, OpenTracing, Fluentd, Istio, Linkerd, gRPC in druge.
Predmet je praktično orientiran. V okviru vaj bodo študenti v skupinah razvijali inovativne oblačne rešitve z uporabo ogrodij, kot so Spring Boot, KumuluzEE, Node.js, Docker, Kubernetes, Prometheus ter oblake AWS, AppEngine, Azure in druge. Razumeli bodo pomen inovacij v oblaku.
Najboljši študenti bodo imeli možnost sodelovati na inovativnih projektih.

The aim of the course is to gain knowledge of the development of innovative cloud computing and cloud applications. Cloud computing is changing the way applications are developed. We will become familiar with concepts, architectures and cloud technologies - the cloud-native architecture.
In addition to gaining in-depth knowledge of cloud computing and all levels of service orientation (XaaS; Iaas, PaaS and SaaS), we will learn in detail the architectural model, patterns and best practices for the development of cloud-native applications, which includes a multitude of concepts.
We will begin with the microservice architecture and learn about the development patterns for microservice. We will combine this with Docker (and others) containers and micro-kernels. We will get familiar with container orchestration tools, especially Kubernetes (and others).
We will continue to explore the concepts of cloud-native architecture: services, asynchronous patterns of calling services, circuit breakers, reactive microservice development models, event streaming aka Apache Kafka, configuration, service discovery, health check, metrics, security, fault tolerance, and others.
The goal will be to understand and develop cloud applications that run on resilient and elastic cloud infrastructure and platforms and understand how these applications work and how to deploy them on different cloud services providers (Amazon AWS, Google AppEngine, Microsoft Azure, Cloud Foundry and others). As part of the course, we will get to know the most popular PaaS platforms. We will get familiar with the concepts of private, public and hybrid clouds. We will also set up our own private / hybrid computer cloud.
At the same time, we will become familiar with the DevOps practices that are essential for the development of cloud solutions and learn about the concepts and projects of the CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation) such as Kubernetes, Prometheus, OpenTracing, Fluentd, Istio, Linkerd, gRPC and others. The course is practically oriented. Within the exercises, students in teams will develop innovative cloud solutions using framework such as Spring Boot, KumuluzEE, Node.js, Docker, Kubernetes, Prometheus and AWS, AppEngine, Azure clouds, and others. They will understand the importance of innovation in the cloud.
The best students will be able to participate in innovative projects.
