Cloud Computing

Rent the sky. Deploy a real, live website to the cloud — and walk away with a URL you can actually share.

About this track

Cloud computing, hands on

Cloud computing means renting computing power, storage and services on demand instead of buying your own servers. It's how a two-person startup can serve millions of users overnight, and why cloud skills are among the most in-demand in tech. In this track you won't just hear about it — you'll do it.

Using Amazon Web Services (AWS), the world's largest cloud platform, you'll put a real website online and then build an interactive app with no servers to manage at all.

By the end you'll have deployed a live project to the internet — something most people never do in an entire computer science degree's first year.

What you'll learn

Four things you'll be able to do

How the cloud actually works

Servers, regions and why "the cloud" is really just a machine you rent by the minute.

Deploy a live website on AWS

Push a real project online in 90 minutes — with a public URL you can share with anyone.

Go serverless

Build an interactive guestbook app without provisioning or managing a single server.

Think like a cloud engineer

Cost, scale and reliability — the real decisions teams make when they ship to production.

CLOUD COMPUTING

Lokesh Vij

Software Engineer @ Broadcom

"The cloud isn't magic — it's a machine you learn to command. In one session, you'll command it too."

Lokesh is a software engineer at Symantec in Canada, where he builds and operates large-scale cloud systems. At OPIT he teaches Cloud Computing, turning intimidating infrastructure into something any beginner can pick up and use.His teaching style is relentlessly practical: every concept is followed by you actually building something. Expect to leave each session with a working project, not just notes.

What you'll walk away with

Three tracks. Three real outcomes.

By the end of two weeks you won't just have watched , you'll have built, understood, and spotted things you couldn't before.
