Evaluate the effectiveness and your usefulness of the learning experience.
What is your opinion about learning experience?
The cloud computing is the process which includes the management of the services and the
data in the remote area. The service permits the users to save the file on online portals, so that
people can also access them from any place with the help of Internet. The recent studies show
that business executives taking important decisions and user across the world covers number
of companies that are gaining competitive advantages through high adoption of cloud and it
has doubled in last few years (Alshamaila et al., 2013). The future prediction says that the
market will exceed approximately by $244 billion.
What is the value of this experience?
The concept is the reality in the current time where cloud computing provides the increased
and simple IT maintenance and management capacities through the centrally based
administration of resources with infrastructure which is vendor managed along with SLA
backed agreements. The infrastructure of IT also updates and maintenance can be removed,
as all kind of resources are only maintained by number of service provider (Chandrasekaran,
2014). People also enjoy a simple or casual web based interface for user to access the
software and other service comfortably without any requirement for installing and making
sure the timely delivery with maintenance of IT services.
Explain how this learning process will be useful to you
Course
The concept of cloud computing will help in the course since it will help in understanding
various aspects of organization and how it works. In the course, the cloud computing is one
of the models that is able to handle the access to the shared pool of the configurable resources
as the computer network, storage and the applications. this works over the provisioning with

the minimal management effort. It includes the use of the computing capabilities to store and
process the data with the data accessing mechanisms that are effective and reliable. (Chong et
al., 2014).
It also helped in understanding the value of backing up the data. The process is a complicated
process as well as very time-consuming functions. This consist of maintaining a set of drives
that can collect data manually and dispatching them to back up the facilities with all the
problems that can happen in between originating along with right backup (Whaiduzzaman et
al., 2014).
Program
The high capacity networks and the low cost computers are considered to hold the
widespread adoption of hardware virtualisation. There are some people who base their
assumption on that fact that environment must be rightly virtualized however cloud is a way
one can request the resources in on-demand way and with solution to provide for bare metals.
The infrastructure will also help or support varied kind of cloud like IaaS, PaaS and SaaS and
many more (Chou, 2015).
Future career
In the present time, cloud computing has become an important part for the individual to get
the proper knowledge of data storage. The concept of cloud computing has been widely
credited with rising level of competitiveness with the help of reducing the level of cost with
high flexibility, elasticity and optimal level of resources usage. Cloud computing is primarily
used to increase the overall ability to accomplish business objectives.
As per the analysis, the cloud computing has provided the high computing power with high
performance, scalability and accessibility. Here, the focus is on the evolution and adoption of
the different technologies which aims to cut the costs and help the users to focus on the core
business. (Duan et al., 2013). There are cases where the companies turn towards PaaS for the

same facts while also looking to rise or enhance the overall speed of development on ready to
use cases to properly deploy applications.
Life generally
The best situation can be for the usage of cloud is based on test as well as developing culture.
This helps saving the budget, establishing the environment through many physical assets,
important manpower as well as time. It is also important to understand the concept of
installation and basic configuration for the platform. Everything can usually be extended with
the time it consumes for a specific project that can be finished and stretched with the
milestones. The concept of cloud computing is now easily accessed and customized for the
requirement of the company and is an easy step to execute (Peppard and Ward, 2016). This is
also combined however not restricted to automatic provisioning of the virtual and physical
resources.
Describe objectively what happened in the learning process
The concept of cloud computing is based on big set of data based technology that consist of
many essential elements like hardware and software infrastructure, virtual technologies, data
facilities and software engineering concepts. All such areas are well connected and work with
various cloud computing platforms. But it is also important to focus on Infrastructure as a
part of service along with cloud providers like Amazon web based services, Microsoft Azure,
and many more (Singh et al., 2015). It is important to start with basic definition and
assumption that don’t require a specific course or degree to understand or learn about the
concept of cloud computing.

Evaluate what you learn
The concept of cloud computing is a broad situation to understand about the concept that one
will have some right skills associated with basic definition of operating systems. There is
windows and Linux covering certain kind of basic concepts associated with it.
It is important to understand that virtualization based technologies plays a crucial role when
people speak about the concept and there is nothing important than trying to start personal
virtual machine to gain clarity on how the virtual environment functions (Taleb et al., 2015).
The process allows to develop a virtual culture that can create the virtual culture that have
amount of RAM, or disk space and CPU designated and their installation of an operating
system like Windows.
Explain your learning process
Following are the important terms important for the usage: -
1. Virtual machine: this is the basic components and one must know that the virtual
machine for its own operating systems. The concept of CPU, and many other
components can have a more articulated level of configuration from the networking
side for it.
2. Hypervisor: the concept of virtualization cores function will all the virtualization
machines. It is an example for VMware, Xen or OpenVZ and many more. All the
environment for cloud also uses a changed hypervisor (Whaiduzzaman et al., 2014).
Explain Plan how this learning you will applied
The implementation of the concept has no limits at all. Along with the right middleware
along with cloud based computing system can implement all the programs on a regular
computer that can run. It is also practical to say it is everything from generic word-based
processing the software to tailored computer programs designed for an organization that can

work on cloud based computing system (Whaiduzzaman et al., 2014). Following are some
ways to apply the learning of cloud computing: -
1. Customer can access their application and information from anyplace at any point of
time. They can also access the system of cloud computing by utilising any system
which is linked to the internet. It is important data should not be limited to hard drive
on one computer system or even on a corporation internal based of network.
2. It can also bring down the cost of hardware. The concept of cloud computing system
can also decrease the need for advanced level of hardware on the customer side. One
will not need to buy the fast computer with the highest memory since the cloud
system will handle the data storage as well. (Whaiduzzaman et al., 2014). On the
place of this, one can buy an inexpensive computer system and the terminal consist of
a monitor, input based devices like mouse or keyboard and it is sufficient for
processing power to function the middleware important for connecting to the cloud
system. One will also need a large space in the form of hard drive since one can store
all the data on a remote computer.
