DevOps and AI on AWS: AIOps
In this course, we focus on how we can use AI techniques to improve our DevOps operational efficiency. We have added AI features to our applications, now it’s time to do the same for our DevOps processes. With our travel guide now in production, let’s dive into the challenges we’ll face as we scale – and how we can mitigate those challenges. As we scale, we’ll undoubtedly experience some monitoring alarms as we scan our development environment. In this scenario, information overload without the right tools can leave you stuck: you either have too much data with no clear direction on what’s actionable, or, in some cases, you don’t have enough of the right information and visibility to make informed decisions. That’s where AIOps can make a huge difference. AIOps is the process of using machine learning techniques to solve operational problems. The goal of AIOps is to reduce human intervention in the IT operations processes, reduce operational incidents, and improve your applications. Let’s learn how AIOps can help streamline operations, improve the way we monitor applications, and automate responses to common problems.

Shaping Urban Futures
If we are to make sense of the future of humanity, we must understand the future of the city. For some scholars the 21st century globe will see the most significant change of human history - the move of most of the world to live in cities - a planetary urbanism that has changed the way we live globally, the way we organise ourselves economically and the impact humanity has on our environment in an age that we consequently now describe as the Anthropocene. Most of the urban growth on the planet will be in the global South and this is where we concentrate the attention of this course, drawing on the work of a five-year programme known as PEAK Urban, involving a collaboration of researchers from China, Colombia, India, South Africa and the United Kingdom. The PEAK Urban programme aims to aid decision-making on urban futures by: • Generating new research grounded in the logic of urban complexity; • Fostering the next generation of leaders that draw on different perspectives and backgrounds to address the greatest urban challenges of the 21st century; • Growing the capacity of cities to understand and plan their own future. Shaping Urban Futures aims to demonstrate how complementary research projects have applied the PEAK Urban framework – Prediction, Emergence, Adoption and Knowledge – to uncover interrelated issues of health, climate change, migration and informality in places that will face the biggest challenges from rapid unplanned urbanisation. This course consists of 6 modules, with an Introduction and a Closing module sandwiching 4 core modules. Each module involves around 5-6 hours of learning. To get the best out of the course, learners are encouraged to view all the video lectures and conversations, go through other learning material, work on all the assignments and assessments, and participate in discussions in a constructive and respectful manner. By the end of this course, you will be able to: • Recognise the new urban sciences that are driving our understanding of urbanisation across the world • Examine carefully how we should understand how to trace, examine and explore the ways new social, economic and environmental changes emerge and reshape the working of the city • Visualise how technological change is adopted, adapted and deployed differently in variable city contexts • Understand how best to intervene in urban futures through sharing urban experiences and contributing to the coproduction of knowledge to enrich and strengthen knowledge exchange in cities This course is designed principally for people working in cities who want to make a difference and for all urban scholars, from early career researchers to veteran urbanists and everyone in between. This course will also hopefully inspire workers in local government, community organisations and the private sector as well as urban scholars to build upon the experiences of a global network to develop their own methods and frames to view, interpret and define urban changes in their local geographies and contexts.

Decentralized Finance (DeFi) Primitives
DeFi and the Future of Finance is a set of four courses that focus on decentralized finance. The second course is called DeFi Primitives. It is recommended that you take the first course, DeFi Infrastructure, before this course. In this course, we talk about transaction mechanics and introduce both fungible and non-fungible tokens – or NFTs. The course explores the important issue of custody (holding private keys). The course then explores supply adjustment which includes the minting and burning of tokens. The mechanics of bonding curves are introduced. The course then explores the role of direct as well as indirect incentives in the DeFi system. We then analyze swaps or decentralized exchange. We begin by contrasting DEX with centralized exchange (e.g., Coinbase or Binance). The course details the mechanics of Automated Market Makers and provides a number of detailed examples. There is a discussion of impermanent loss as well as (legal) front-running. We end the course by exploring both collateralized and flash loans.
