Final Blog


     Over the past few weeks I have posted numerous cloud computing blogs of various different topics.  If I were to categorize them I would put them into the same group of general information except for one;



General Information

  • What is DaaS?
  • What happens when the Cloud goes down?
  • What cloud services does Google offer?
  • Does virtualization change cloud computing?
  • What is Cloudwashing?
  • Disadvantages of Cloud Computing
  • Cloudera, what is it?

 Cloud Security

  • The security challenges of the commercial cloud

     I tended to write on a variety of topics and usually did my best to ensure they were in line with what was being covered in the current weeks chapter. 

The locations I used to gather these topics and articles varied again.  Some of them were actually emailed to me from a link I follow called Military Information Technology.  I get daily topics related to my field of work, many of which dealt with cloud technology.  I also used another site called C4ISR and Networks, and finally good old Google. 



     Overall I don’t feel this information would benefit a security professional outside of giving some basic situational awareness for current trends and technology.  The articles I chose were more informational then instructional in nature.  As for the next group of students I feel there is a lot to be learned.  I for one was completely unfamiliar with this type of technology and had never taken part in any active online blogs.  I found it both interesting and educational.  I believe others will agree.
