The advancement of technology and the introduction of Internet of

things (IoT) as a source of geospatial data has produced large

volumes of data which now pose grand computing challenges in

managing and manipulating big data. Cloud computing has

emerged as a new computing model to address these computing

challenges not only in the geospatial field but other fields as well.

Nowadays Cloud computing is the cornerstone for digital

transformation. It provides organizations with on-demand data

storage, computing power and various cloud services. This course
