The course presents the most common programming techniques and methodologies used to create cloud-native applications, namely microservice-based applications, Kubernetes operators, Serverless, organization and management of large software projects, Git and workflow automation (CI/CD pipelines). In addition, the course will present an overview of techno-economic aspects such as drivers for cloud adoption, cost vs benefit analysis (including Capex vs Opex considerations), and agile development methodologies (agile, scrum, kanban, continuous improvement). Initial teaching labs focuses on individual technologies; more advanced labs focuses on the development of user-driven cloud-native software, which will be presented and discussed with the instructors.

- Knowledge of cloud-native programming paradigms, such as microservice-based applications, serverless, Kubernetes operators - Knowledge of most common methodologies for large cloud-native software projects, such as Git and workflow automation (CI/CD pipelines) - Capability to design a cloud-native software including techno-economic aspects, and to plan a migration-to-cloud strategy.
