STEM教育可以从云技术中受益匪浅。云可以为教师和学生（无论是本地还是远程）提供按需、专用、隔离、无限且易于配置的计算和存储资源。云可以显著降低实验室建设和维护的成本和支出。由于这些特性，云计算已被世界各地的许多大学和学校广泛采用。在本文中，我们展示了如何利用云来取代传统的物理计算机网络实验室。特别是，我们展示了如何基于云的实验室练习与计算机网络可以极大地帮助学生获得几乎所有重要的计算机网络技能。我们在本课程中使用的云是Amazon Web Services（AWS）公共云。然而，这些用例和方法同样适用于其他云平台。
STEM education can enormously benefit from cloud technology. The cloud can offer instructors and students (whether local or remote) on-demand, dedicated, isolated, unlimited, and easily configurable compute and storage resources. The cloud can significantly reduce cost and expenditure on lab construction and maintenance. Due to these features, the cloud has been widely adopted by many universities and schools throughout the world. In this paper, we show how the cloud can be utilized to replace traditional physical computer networks laboratories. In particular, we demonstrate how cloud-based laboratory exercises related to computer networks can greatly help students in acquiring almost all crucial computer networks skills. The cloud we used for this course was the Amazon Web Services (AWS) public cloud. However, the use cases and approaches are equally applicable to other cloud platforms.
