Event Description:

In many courses on data science, mathematical and computational
concepts are taught using Jupyter notebooks. Although an excellent
tool, Jupyter notebook is only one part of a much greater computing
ecosystem. The purpose of this module is to introduce participants to
some of the big ideas comprising cloud computing. The jumping-off
point will be breaking down Jupyter notebooks into real Python code
followed by some basic tutorials on Python code optimization. Next,
students will explore virtual environments, containers, and virtual
machines before learning about microservices. From here, the module
will jump into cloud computing and discuss the Google Kubernetes
Engine or orchestrating and running containers. Finally, students will
learn how all of this technology is already part of the Amazon Web
Services (AWS) platform and will be introduced to the basics of AWS.
Along the way, students will be exposed to Dask in order to understand
how to scale their applications beyond a single machine
