The evolution of technology towards a new era of agile and dynamic workflows in the topic of cloud computing has resulted in professionals in Information Technology deepening in the study of tools or mechanisms that optimize the storage and data security; on the other hand, for companies that increasingly handle a larger volume of data to develop their activity, having these tools has become a key factor today. In this work is present the study of the Cinder component of the OpenStack platform, as a block storage tool that is associated with virtual machines or instances; is presented the deployment of a cloud platform of the IaaS model (Infrastructure as a Service) in a test environment, following the first four phases of the PDIOO methodology proposed by Cisco Systems; and the results that demonstrate the persistent storage of information through the use of said component are presented.

The purpose of the computer programs is to solve specific problems using a set of instructions composed of operations, logical decisions and repetitive cycles. The teaching-learning process uses in the early stages the Flow Diagrams that allow the student to graphically represent the sequence of a finite set of instructions but that is insufficient to learn to program due to the lack of experience and knowledge of the students in the area of programming, which consequently increases the rates of failure or attrition during the first semesters of their university education in the engineering career in computer systems, so it is necessary to develop additional resources for students to generate algorithmic thinking gradually. The methodology followed for the development of the project is based on the cascade life cycle with subprojects; Finally, with a group of 35 students, at the beginning 24 (68%) of them presented difficulties to analyze and program, using the didactic software as support in classes was reduced to 8 (22%).

The Irapuato Higher Technological Institute has the "Itinerant Laboratory" program, a project that carries out various scientific dissemination activities that are offered to educational institutions in the state of Guanajuato; However, poor communication between Responsible led to various problems that prevented the provision of the services of this itinerant laboratory; In 2017, a total of 32 applications were made by primary and secondary schools, of which only 12 were met, due to the lack of organization and the time it took to complete the process. In order to mitigate these delays and increase the number of visits, it was decided to use IT by designing a web system through which educational institutions can request visits. The methodology followed for software development is based on the cascade life cycle; It culminated with a web system that manages the requests for visits as well as the existing recreational activities in addition to providing reports of attention and number of people benefited, resulting in an increase in requests received by 30% and attention to them with a 40% increase compared to the previous year.
