It is said that one-third of all Internet users visit a site or application powered by Amazon Web Service. As a developer leveraging the AWS, I had my fair share of questions. How secure is my critical data? Is the system fault-tolerant? How much control do I have over the infrastructure? How do the people in Amazon overcome the technical challenge of maintaining such a massive infrastructure? These questions kindled my curiosity in Cloud Computing. This curiosity has led me from hosting a static website in S3 for fun, to working on creating full-scale dynamic web applications that cater to thousands of scientists on a daily basis. I have a passion for developing software applications and using them as a tool to serve people. It is with …show more content…
During the final year of my undergraduate degree course, I was the only one from my college to get the coveted internship opportunity at Siemens Corporate Research and Technology, Bangalore, where I worked under the guidance of Mr. Tushar Sharma, Technical Expert. During this internship, my primary responsibility was to build Augur, a software Change Impact Analysis (CIA) tool that helps in predicting the impacts of a proposed change in a project during refactoring with the help of a Unified Dependency Graph (UDG). The tool went beyond predicting data and control dependencies, taking into account environmental and structural dependencies. The analysis did not depend on historical data and was possible for different source-code entities at all abstraction levels. The tool was tested by some internal teams and received positive feedback and they appreciated its efficacy. The time I spent working on this internship was invaluable in many ways. The numerous codebases I went through understanding their underlying design, how they incurred technical debt, how it affected the refactoring process and the overall code quality gave me a good understanding and a fresh perspective about programming in the real-world and laid a strong foundation for my software development career. I learnt here the level of consistency and dedication required to get the desired results. As my internship was in a corporate
Technology changes in 2010 made way for new opportunities and competition for eLoanDocs. Technology vendors like Amazon began to offer cloud computing. Cloud computing is a non-platform dependency network of virtualization, service-oriented architecture, grid computing, and utility computing that allows manipulating, configuring, and accessing applications online (Cain et al., p. 765). There is no evidence of trail to the host server.
After reading many articles about Cloud Computing I saw the bright future for these types of cloud services. Aside from educating myself on this topic I feel that this could be beneficial to my fellow Computer Technology peers to address their client or employers cloud needs as well as people who are going to start a business and are looking at the options available to address their companies demands.
Atticus shows courage when he defends Tom from the lynch mob when he is going to jail, which could have ended in Tom being killed, brutally beaten and furthermore, could have lead to Atticus’ death and torture. In the novel, Atticus is sitting in front the jail doors reading a newspaper. He was opening, closing and folding it as if he was expecting a group of citizens to arrive. A massive group of men departed from their cars and began moving towards the jail doors. One man confronted Atticus and said "You know what we want. Get away from the door, Mr. Finch." "You can turn around and go home again, Arthur," Atticus said pleasantly. "Heck Tate's around somewhere”.(pg 202) This segment of quotations exemplifies that Atticus knew this group of men were going to arrive and he positions himself outside the jail doors ready to defend Tom.
Revelation. The word itself is kind of scary. The book of Revelation was written in 95 AD by the apostle John. John was writing to seven different churches in western Asia Minor, Laodicea, Philidelphia, Sardis, Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, and Thyatira. The theme of Revelation is encouragement for believers to stand strong through persecution and also shows believers how the return of Christ will look. The book of Revelation goes into great detail on how the coming of Christ will look and for some that is a frightening thing to even think about but for Believers it should be an encouragement showing that the end will come, so get up and go share Jesus' name.
Amazon Web Services is a cloud computing platform which was to provide online services to websites (Rouse, 2014). Amazon is comprised of software development and customer service centers around the world (Rouse, 2014). At Amazon, workers are encouraged to tear apart one another’s ideas in meetings, toil long and late and held to unreasonably high standards (Kantor & Streitfeld, 2015).
Within the past 10 years our societies technological advantages have been somewhat space age like, even alien like characteristics. Technologies, which ten years ago only existed in our dreams but yet, have become reality. Things like, the revolutionary iPhone and its almost seamless touch-screen tech; as well as the new advancements in our cultures most prized possession, The Internet. In this subject-based paper, I will take a closer look into a fairly new emerging technology, which is simply referred to as…Cloud Technology. The synopsis will cover, what and how cloud technology works, its
Cloud computing has set a trend in the information technology arena that has sparked the interest of all who utilize the internet on purpose and unsuspectingly. Initially, the primary purpose of cloud computing was to provide a centralized data bank that organizations could use for quick data access. Its use has been quickly adapted, however, beyond business use to become the first option for personal use. The advantages and disadvantages of implementing such a shift from business to personal are varied, yet, statistically, according to the CISCO Global Cloud Index: Forecast and Methodology, 2014-2019 White Paper, its public use is on the rise. The report notes that “by 2019, 56 percent of the cloud workloads will be in public cloud data centers, up from 30 percent in 2014 and by 2019, 44 percent of the cloud workloads will be in private cloud data centers, down from 70 percent in 2014”. Though disadvantages with regard to data security is prominent, users have deemed that its implementation will still promote greater benefits than loss.
The American dream, an idea that is inextricably linked with liberal democratic principles, is based on the notion that on American soil, every person has equal access to opportunity and fair treatment under the law. America has been, and continues to be a primary destination for millions of immigrants from around the globe because it promises hope, freedom, and most important, a fair chance; migration to America has been predicated on the belief that with hard work and determination, success will eventually come. However, today, whenever the American dream is uttered, a negative connotation too often appears to be attached to it. There’s a certain attitude of pessimism as those who speak of it attempt to argue that the dream is dead,
Abstract. The Internet is permeating all aspects of our lives. This includes business and organizational endeavors as well as our personal lives. Businesses have become to depend on the Internet for their supply chain, advertising, and sales. E-commerce has experienced a tremendous growth in the last decade. Organizations are looking for new ways to leverage the Internet for business growth. Web Services is a growing technology in the Information Systems field. Data Management is also an ever-increasing endeavor for many organizations. The need for information is
A common carrier is a private company that sells or leases communication services and facilities to the public. Common carriers are profit-oriented, and their primary products are services for voice and data transmissions, both over traditional wired circuits as well as cellular services. Common carriers often supply a broad range of computer-based services, such as the manufacturing and marketing of specialized communication hardware and software. A common carrier that provides local telephone services (e.g., BellSouth) is commonly called a local exchange carrier (LEC), while one that provides long distance services (e.g., MCI) is
In the current business world, organizations depend on cloud computing as a strategy of delivering IT services to clients. Cloud based platforms provide cost effective ways for organizations to maintain a high level of reliability and availability for applications. Cloud computing promotes business continuity and helps in organizations during disaster recovery (Molen & Brace, 2010).
An introductory computer science class is where I met a man who changed my life in a negative way. The man who I met on that fateful day in class became my husband a few years later. He was not honest to me or my family. He married me just to obtain his resident status in the United States. After he obtained his green card after four years of marriage he married another woman without informing me while he was still legally married to me. I found the name of the woman on his cell phone and called the number. The other woman's father picked up the phone and I explained to her father that I was his wife. The father then said to me, "Is your name Hadiza"? I said "yes". He then said, "Oh, you are the one that he married for a green card". This
Whether it’s called Cloud Computing or On-demand Computing, Software as a Service, or the Internet as Platform, the common element is a shift in the geography of computation. When you create a spreadsheet with the Google Docs service, major components of the software reside on unseen computers, whereabouts unknown, possibly scattered across continents. This affects all levels of the computational ecosystem, from casual user to software developer, IT manager, even hardware manufacturer. Recently, a lot of vendors have started talking about “cloud computing” in their marketing materials. Citing a research published by Merrill Lynch entitled “The Cloud Wars: $100+ billion at stake,” Merrill Lynch has estimated a $160- billion addressable market opportunity, including $95- billion in business and productivity applications, and another $65-billion in online advertising for Cloud Computing. But the main question is whether the users are ready to give up using services on their local machines and shift to the Cloud since shifting to cloud computing has both advantages and disadvantages for all possible users; nevertheless, they may have different level of importance for different users
Cloud computing is a “newsworthy” term in the IT industry in recent times and it is here to stay! Cloud computing is not a technology, or even a set of technologies – it’s an idea. Cloud computing is not a standard defined by any standards organization. Basic understanding for Cloud: “Cloud” represents the Internet; Instead of using applications installed on your computer or saving data to your hard drive, you’re working and storing stuff on the Web. Data is kept on servers and used by the service you’re using; tasks are performed in your browser using an interface/ console provided by the service. A credit card and internet access is all you need to make an investment in
Throughout the semester, the class was composed of lectures and recitations where we learn to use MatLab, PSpice, and myDAQ. After ten recitations, we were assign a group project that demonstrated the knowledge we had gained throughout the entirety of the course. Although we had the option to choose from the following three detention circuits: a resistor-thermistor voltage divider circuit, a phototransistor-resistor voltage divider circuit, or a standard PC microphone driving the audioInput of the myDAQ, my group opted out towards the PC microphone detention circuit. Within the PC microphone detention circuit, the microphone should have been able to detect three different states of noise. The first state consists of the microphone detecting no noise, the second state consists of the microphone detecting the presence of some noise, and the third state consists of the microphone detecting a louder noise than usual.
