During this semester, I plan to

complete cloud computing course to gain the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary

to succeed as a cloud architect. I believe, as our world moves towards a connected

environment with the help of the Cloud, Cloud Computing is on the rise. As a result,

business and organizations are trying to adapt their business to the Cloud so that they

can reduce costs and increase speed of their operations. In fact, in many cases, data is

no longer stored on the device, but rather on a virtualized cloud storage service. First, I

will evaluate my skills and capabilities in order to provide a solution that addresses

cloud's needs and solves problems faced by cloud service. In other words, I will learn

about what cloud computing is about and develop a cloud vision and a cloud business

value in accordance with that vision. This semester, I will work in team to build a proof

of concept to demonstrate the application of cloud computing. I will use agile

development to design and implement solutions that integrate web based applications

with various systems. In addition, I will work in the field to experience what cloud

computing is all about. In the final presentation, I will describe what we have learned

in our project. Furthermore, I will highlight the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities,

and threats to cloud computing. The project consists of five tasks that I will complete for

my course. These tasks include developing a project management system, developing a basic
 2

web based application, developing a Java back end, developing a front end for the

application, and writing up a business case.

Question 1:

As a student enrolled in this course, I plan to implement cloud computing services at

my current workplace to meet my design and development needs for software applications. I

plan to gain hands-on experience by learning the fundamentals of cloud computing in IaaS,

PaaS, SaaS, and IDaaS. I plan to use VMware to deploy virtualization technology to meet my

design and development needs. I plan to gain hands-on experience by learning the principles

of virtualization technology and service-oriented architecture to make it easier for me to

develop and deploy applications. By the end of this course, I plan to understand cloud

computing management and security mechanisms to make my application meet the industry

standards and my enterprise as a future cloud professional. In addition, I will have the

flexibility of deploying my application in the cloud environment that I find suitable for my

application. I also want hands-on experience by learning the fundamentals of cloud

computing by implementing cloud computing services in a way that suits my application

needs. I plan to gain hands-on experience by learning the fundamental principles of cloud

computing management and security mechanisms so that I can deploy and manage my

application with a minimum of hassle.

By the end of this course, I plan to understand the fundamental principles and risks of

cloud computing and the fundamental components of the cloud computing security

mechanism. By the end of this course, I plan to gain hands-on experience using different

service models. I plan to gain hands-on experience by learning the principles of virtualization

technology and service-oriented architecture by designing and building a proof-of-concept

application on top of a web services platform. By the end of this course, I plan to deploy my

application on the cloud computing environment that suits my application needs. I want to

implement the security mechanism of cloud computing for my application to meet the
 4

standards, meet the standards and have the flexibility of deployment of my application in the

cloud environment that suits my application needs.

Question 2:

The first goal is to gain a general awareness of cloud computing and its technical

applications and a brief understanding of the different service models. The second goal is to

gain hands-on experience in the IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, and IDaaS models for cloud computing in

my workplace. I want to o gain hands-on experience in cloud computing management and

security mechanisms to deploy my applications to a cloud computing environment that meets

my application needs. The course will help me to gain hands-on experience in the

fundamentals of cloud computing management and security mechanisms and the principles of

virtualization technology and service-oriented architecture by designing and building a proof-

of-concept application on top of a web services platform. As an application developer, I want

to implement cloud computing services in my workplace to meet my design and development

needs. I want to implement cloud computing services in my workplace to meet my

application needs. I want to deploy and manage my application in the cloud computing

environment that suits my application needs. I want to use the different service models for

cloud computing to implement cloud computing services in my workplace to meet my

application needs.
