Hey There Bloggers!!
Our 3 month adventure is coming to an end with this final post!! I have enjoyed every minute and having the opportunity to put my thoughts (even if they were sometimes ramblings) down on paper to try to make sense with what I was learning, or had on my mind that particular day.
While we did hit on a bunch of definitions, there is one thing that I enjoyed the most and what I would take with me into my IT Professional future. That is how to adopt a new technology into your organization. To me that is the most important skill someone can have with new technologies popping up all over the place. With Cloud, and even Quantum Computing in the not so distant future. If your organization cannot adapt and overcome these technological challenges, then they are doomed to be irrelevant and could jeopardize the future of the company.
I feel that with my readings and my project, that I could intelligently tell a CEO of a company how they can maintain IT relevance and adopt a new technology by systematically asking questions to see what they are looking to accomplish in the next 1, 5, or 10 years in the future. Can I give them what they want sooner? Or will we have to let the technology mature for a year or so to find out the failures and successes of other companies within a similar industry.
Memorizing definitions is how some people gain knowledge, but having the abstract thinking to bring to the table to look for solutions that may not be so obvious is something that I enjoy doing. Much like a puzzle waiting to get put together.
I really do hope you all enjoyed reading what I learned and where I hope to be in the future.
Hopefully we meet again in a future class I take!!
Take care!

Week 11 - Cloud Security
Greetings Bloggers!
This is going to be a short week where I just wanted to summarize what I have read through this week and what the topic of discussion has been. We entered Week 11 in the Cloud Computing and Governance course at Bellevue University.
As more organizations progress to the Cloud Solution, they have to always keep in mind that when they give up all control of their data storage and application performance to the Cloud, they are also giving up the control to have hands on that data and to keep it out of the hands of cyber criminals.
There is a wonderful organization that is called the Cloud Security Alliance, or CSA. This organization is a global entity that provides training and documentation about Cloud Security to organizations so that they are well informed for their transition. This is critical for an enterprise to send all of their system administrators to their coveted training so that they are more prepared for the adoption of their data center. The CSA is on call at all times to take the questions from clients to give them the correct direction.
The one thing that the CSA cannot do is enforce the standards of the Cloud technology itself. That is the job of another organization that specializes in that enforcement of standards.
As I said a short post this week as we are preparing our final projects!
Take it easy and we will say goodbye next week!
