Cloud computing has taken the industry by storm, yet there aren't enough new college grads who know enough about it, and serverless is one of its hottest segments. This session begins with a high-level review of the cloud followed by an overview of serverless computing, including what it is & what it's for. A low-cost/no-cost way for students & educators to make their code globally accessible is a huge benefit, and it is also used by large Fortune 500 companies. You'll learn how to deploy & run your code on Google Cloud serverless platforms. Furthermore, Google Cloud offers education grants for faculty to use in the classroom or the research lab as well as a career-readiness program allowing students & faculty to qualify for an Associate Cloud Engineer certification, which, coupled with a 4-year degree, represents a skill set that can be used on the job immediately. So whether you're a researcher, TA/grad student, or an undergrad, learning serverless computing will enable you to be part of the next-generation cloud-ready workforce.
