About this course: Cloud computing systems today, whether open-source or used inside companies, are built using a common set of core techniques, algorithms, and design philosophies—all centered around distributed systems. Learn about such fundamental distributed computing "concepts" for cloud computing. Some of these concepts include: Clouds, MapReduce, key-value stores, Classical precursors, Widely-used algorithms, Classical algorithms, Scalability, Trending areas, And more! Understand how these techniques work inside today’s most widely-used cloud computing systems. Get your hands dirty using these concepts with provided homework exercises. In the programming assignment, implement some of these concepts in template assignments provided in C++ programming language. You will also watch interviews with leading managers and researchers, from both industry and academia.

Some of the best material on distributed systems that I've come across.
It's not an easy course definitely but very comprehensive, a lot of stuff to learn.
Really good, however having to write the assignment in c++ is a downer.

Engaging hands on course. Wish there was a specialization catered to the real world out there for Distributed Systems.
