Infrastructure & Cloud Operations Department

The Infrastructure & Cloud Operations Department trains cloud engineers capable of designing and operating large-scale research infrastructure. Through hands-on Kubernetes cluster orchestration, multi-cloud architecture design, Infrastructure-as-Code projects using Terraform and Ansible, and container registry/image optimization work, students build the ability to implement scalable, resilient infrastructure. Graduates can build and operate stable cloud infrastructure from the ground up in real research environments.
