Why this program?
In just 10 years, the field of IT infrastructure has evolved from installing routers and managing operating systems to creating the virtual data centers we now call the cloud . This disruptive change has made cloud services an essential tool for any organization, offering significant advantages such as enhanced interaction, greater security, and increased productivity for businesses.
This revolution has led to an extraordinary shortage of professionals in areas such as cloud resource design and provisioning, the creation of self-scaling and serverlesssystems , and artificial intelligence systems, and as a result, the demand for cloud technology experts has increased enormously.
According to Gartner, by 2025 the cloud-based enterprise application software market is expected to be twice the size of the on-premises market. This data indicates that this profession will be one of the most in-demand by companies.
The postgraduate program in Cloud Computing Architecture offers an excellent opportunity to learn in-depth about systems architecture and cloud infrastructure provisioning, using the services offered by two of the industry's leading providers: AWS and Google Cloud Platform . The program has a highly practical focus and is aimed at professionals interested in the design and implementation of cloud architectures, serverless platforms, high-availability and autoscaling systems, Kubernetes clusters, distributed system observability, and more.
The program is taught by active professionals who have participated in successful projects since the beginning of this technology, which allows the learning to cover not only technical aspects, but also the dynamics of this sector and how to manage the challenges of daily life.
The postgraduate program will also provide the necessary knowledge for students who wish to obtain the AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate* certification .
*It is the student's responsibility to prepare for this certification, the cost of which is not included in the postgraduate tuition fee.
