Recap and Feedback

In the eight part of the course, we looked into basic concepts of cloud computing, cloud-native computing, and cloud software development, including service and deployment models, cloud architecture patterns, and how to deploy a web application to a cloud provider. We further discussed Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), WebAssembly, and financial aspects related to cloud computing.

The topic is discussed in more detail in the Aalto University course Cloud Software and Systems.

In the Overarching project, we continued by associating users with submissions and adding solutions to exercises. We also added a naive distance-based grading approach, and briefly outlined the need for more sophisticated grading mechanisms and the possibility of using serverless functions for grading.
