Ok, checks out.
Was fortunate enough to take Dr. Gupta's undergraduate-level version of this class over a decade ago. To this day I still remember how enjoyable and simple he was able to make this material, despite it being actually somewhat tricky. Definitely one of the best CS lecturers UIUC had to offer at the time.
I have taken the Cloud computing specialization in Coursera which was taught by Dr. Gupta. One of the best courses I have taken. Excited for this one. They should offer an Online masters for this, just like the data science one on Coursera
Parts I and II of this EdX course by Seif Haridi are great:

Are they offering video recordings of this course? Dr. Gupta's earlier cloud computing course videos were just brilliant. I still listen to them regularly.
