CLASS consists of a series of “learning and skills sessions” for foundational to advanced learners.

• Virtual four-hour workshops built by researchers for the research community.
• Materials are available here and were developed following The Software Carpentry(https://software-carpentry.org) template.

• Participants will learn how to:

  1. Log in and navigate the cloud console
  2. Create a cloud computing instance and understand the components of cloud compute
  3. Create a cloud storage bucket
  4. Run a simple research analysis on the compute instance you built and utilize the data in the storage bucket
  5. Monitor costs
  6. Clean up your resources and utilize best practices for developing research workflows on the cloud

Current cost: $125/participant

• Two weeks intensive learning experiences aimed at enabling campus-wide cloud adoption.
• Week 1: Participants will learn advanced cloud skills such as networking, identity management, multi-cloud architecture, databases, continuous-deployment, microservices, and AI/ML pipelines.
• Week 2: Collaborative capstone project to simulate real-world and academic use cases.

A new iteration of CLASS Advanced will launch in February 2023. Sign up to be notified when applications open in January 2023!

• Combined synchronous/asynchronous learning that prepares participants for cloud service provider certifications.
• Participants guided through a learning path and testing materials by higher education cloud experts.
• Each cohort is limited to only 15 participants.
• Targeted towards administrative/central IT staff and those looking to get certified.
