Introduction to 5G and Cloud Computing
Course Details
This live open session short course will provide an introduction to 5G and Cloud
Computing. 5G is a technology which is heavily dependent on cloud based technology
to support its operation, with cloud technology influencing many
different aspects of 5G network operation, on an end to end basis. This
course seeks to introduce some of the key concepts behind cloud,
including foundational level information on exactly what the cloud is,
as well as some of the key enabling technologies such as NFV, SDN,
microservices, containers and Kubernetes. Focus will then be provided on
application use cases of the technology, covering the 5G Core, C-RAN
and MEC.
