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.
