Cloud Computing

The principal goal of education is to create men and women who are capable of doing
new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done.
-Jean Piaget

Cloud Computing involves aggregation of multiple computing, storage and network resources into a single
entity called "cloud"; into which location as well as device independent computing is performed. Cloud
computing is a natural evolution of the widespread adoption of virtualization, service-oriented
architecture and utility computing.
This workshop aims at giving an opportunity to the budding engineers to enhance their knowledge in the
most demanded field of computing i.e. virtualization and cloud computing.
