The overall objective of the course is to give the students insight into cloud services from both business and technology perspectives. Typically, business students focus more on the business value whereas information technology students have a stronger focus on technology.

Upon successful completion of the course, the student
- knows the concept and definition of cloud computing
- understands the opportunities of cloud services from the business viewpoint
- understands how cloud computing may be used in product development, software development as well as in infrastucture
- knows how to use at least one of the most common PaaS and IaaS platforms for developing software and for administering virtual servers
- is capable of planning and implementing a cloud services related project

- Introduction to cloud computing
- Service models: SaaS, PaaS, IaaS
- Deployment models: private cloud, public cloud, hybrid cloud and community cloud
- Serverless architecture or FaaS
- Cloud services in product development
- Company cases illustrating the practical aspects of cloud services.
- A project work either with a business orientation around SaaS or with a technical orientation. The technically oriented project topics deal with IaaS or PaaS.

Depending on the implementation, learning takes place in contact lessons, independent studies, teamwork and online-studies. The course includes the assessment of one’s own learning.

This course uses a flipped classroom approach, individual online assignments, teamwork in contact lessons, hands-on lab guidance online and in the contact lessons there are guest lectures where real-life cases are presented by a business and/or there is a technically oriented cloud services project that is done in a team.

Recognition of prior learning (RPL)
If students have acquired the required competence in previous work tasks, recreational activities or on another course, they can show their competence by giving a demonstration and thus progress faster through their studies. The student should prepare a report and presentation about a cloud services case to which s/he has made a substantial contribution. The demonstration must be agreed with the course teacher. More information and instructions for recognising and validating prior learning (RPL) are available at https://www.haaga-helia.fi/en/recognition-learning Look at "Instructions to students (master)"

Other literature on cloud services given during the course, cloud services tutorials and software tools.

This course replaces the previous curriculum’s course Cloud Services.

The student may focus on the business aspects or on the technical aspects of cloud services. The former approach does not require any specific technical skills but for the latter approach, basic information systems tools and architectures knowledge is assumed.

The student understands the basic concepts of cloud services and how cloud services can be used to create value for business. S/he can name related software tools and – at an abstract level – knows how they could be used.

The student has a good understanding of cloud services and their application to create value for business. S/he knows related software tools and can use them in practice.

The student has an excellent understanding of cloud services and their application to create value for business. S/he knows related software tools and is skilled at using them in practice.
