BCIT's Computer Systems Technology (CST) two-year diploma program combines computer systems theory with hands-on practical experience in software development. You'll learn software engineering and programming from industry professionals, and gain experience working on real projects, from concept to deployment. In second year, specialty options add depth and further hone your skills.
Students in the Cloud Computing option will obtain hands-on experience using a wide variety of resources and services available on the world’s leading cloud computing platforms. Students will learn to create and maintain complex virtual computing environments. Students will also learn how to utilize automated software deployment, continuous integration, continuous delivery and continuous monitoring tools in cloud computing environments according to DevOps (development and operations) practices. The option culminates in students designing and developing software natively for cloud computing platforms. This type of development involves creating microservices and containers designed for serverless architectures. Please note: students in the Cloud Computing option will be posting their work on servers outside of Canada. Students will be required to sign a Student Consent Statement acknowledging this fact.
