Ltd.10.26689/ief.v2i11.9131ArticleBuilding Cloud Skills: Teaching Innovation and Practice of Automated Operation and Maintenance Courses for Cloud Computing Majors in Higher Vocational Collegeshttps://artdesignp.com/journal/IEF/2/11/10.26689/ief.v2i11.9131ZhangJing,ZhouQian20242112024-12-23In the rapid development of cloud computing technology, automated operation and maintenance as its core support is crucial to ensure the efficient and stable operation of cloud services. Given this, higher vocational education must pay attention to the training of automated operation and maintenance skills in the curriculum setting of cloud computing majors. Aiming at the problems existing in automated operation and maintenance teaching in higher vocational colleges, this paper puts forward a series of innovative teaching methods to improve students’ mastery of automated operation and maintenance technology. This paper first analyzes the development trend of cloud computing and automated operation and maintenance technology, clarifies the necessity for vocational students to master automated operation and maintenance skills, and then introduces innovative teaching strategies including case-driven, project-oriented, flipped classroom, virtual simulation experiment, and school-enterprise cooperation in detail. These methods aim to improve the interaction of teaching and students’ practical operation ability through the close combination of practice and theory. Finally, this paper proposes a mechanism to evaluate and feedback on these innovative teaching methods to ensure continuous improvement and optimization of teaching activities. Through the implementation of these innovative teaching methods, it can be expected that students will better adapt to the technical requirements of the cloud computing era and lay a solid foundation for their future careers.
