- The lab is organized by the Chair of Decentralized Systems Engineering at TU Munich.
- Language: English
- Type: Practical Course (Lab)
- Module: IN0012, IN2106, IN2128
- SWS: 6
- ECTS Credits: 10
- Prerequisites: basic concepts of operating systems, distributed systems, and systems programming (C, C++, Rust)
- TUM Online: We will enroll you before the lab starts. Do not forget to register in the matching system to obtain a seat in the lab!
- Course Material: For each programming assignment task, we will cover the necessary background at the beginning of each module as a short lecture, where we will present the necessary details with comprehensive references.
- Time and Location: 3-5 lectures on youtube, each before the next stage in the project.
Cloud engineering involves building scalable and fault-tolerant cloud systems in a cost-effective manner. In this lab, we will investigate how to build cloud systems from the ground up, starting from a single-node deployment up to a fully replicated and distributed transactional system. As part of the lab, we will cover a range of topics through a set of lectures with the necessary background and associated programming assignments over the semester. Note that the programming assignments will build the complete system stack in an incremental fashion, where each assignment will build on the previous stage.
- Capacity: We plan to have at most 60 places in this course.
- Registration deadline: Two weeks after the matching period, we will formally register you in the course. If you want to drop out, please inform us before the registration deadline.
We will use Slack for all communication. Please enroll in our Slack workspace using your official TUM email address.
