Integrating LLMs and Software-Defined Resources for Enhanced Demonstrative Cloud Computing Education in University Curricula

This paper presents a comprehensive study on the integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Software-Defined Resources (SDR) in enhancing cloud computing education within university curricula. The research focuses on practical applications of IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, DevOps, and cloud-native technologies, highlighting the benefits of incorporating Lean principles into the educational framework. Through a detailed analysis of an educational reform project, the paper demonstrates how the use of SDR and LLMs not only improves student engagement and learning outcomes but also equips them with the practical skills needed to navigate modern cloud environments. The findings suggest that this integrated approach can bridge the gap between traditional educational methods and the rapidly evolving demands of the cloud computing industry.
