DESCRIPTION:Recent advances in genomics\, proteomics\, imaging and other te
 chnologies\, have resulted in data being generated at a faster rate than t
 hey can be meaningfully analysed. In this course we will show you how clou
 d computing can be used to meet the challenges of storage\, management and
  analysis of big data. The first half of the course will introduce cloud i
 nfrastructure technologies. The second half will cover tools for collabora
 tive working\, resource management\, and creation of workflows. The instru
 ctors will demonstrate how they are using cloud computing in their own res
 earch.\n\nN.B. If you sign up for this course\, you will be automatically 
 registered for an [AWS educate account](https://aws.amazon.com/education/a
 wseducate/)\, which will provide you with sufficient AWS credits to comple
 te the course exercises. If you decide to continue using cloud computing a
 fter the course\, you will need to either purchase more credits or apply f
 or a grant from programs like: [AWS Cloud Credits for Research](https://aw
 s.amazon.com/research-credits/)\, [Microsoft Azure for Research](https://w
 ww.microsoft.com/en-us/research/academic-program/microsoft-azure-for-resea
 rch/) or [Google Cloud Platform Education Grants](https://cloud.google.com
 /edu/).\n\nPlease note that if you are not eligible for a University of Ca
 mbridge [Raven](http://www.ucs.cam.ac.uk/docs/faq/raven/n5) account you wi
 ll need to book by linking [here](http://bioinfotraining.bio.cam.ac.uk/boo
