Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
Students will be able to evaluate cloud computing resources, and use Esri and open source web GIS technologies. Students will be able to evaluate cloud computing technologies in terms of their essential characteristics such as network access, on-demand self-service, resource pooling, elasticity, and measured service, and in terms of their service models, typically categorized as Cloud Software as a Service (SaaS), Cloud Platform as a Service (PaaS), or Cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).

Summary
By completing the course, students will gain the knowledge and skills needed to set up cloud services for creating maps, cloud services for managing spatial data, and cloud services for processing spatial data. This course teaches students to use cloud and server GIS resources to solve problems for which geospatial data is an integral element. Students get acquainted in more detail with three cloud service models and their implementation (infrastructure services, platform services, and software services).
