Title: Assignment 4 - The Cloud
Course: KVCC BUS203 > Section: Assignments

In class we have been talking about the Cloud and how it could be beneficial for businesses. In this assignment I would like you to start to think more on cloud servers and how they could be used in your future. To get this process I want you to think about starting your own business and use that as a framework to answer the following questions.

1.           What style of business would you be looking to open?

2.           How could you use cloud servers and storage within this business?

3.           What advantages would you obtain by using cloud storage and servers as opposed to the traditional in house method?

4.           What disadvantages would there be in this situation? Analyze based off your style and selection of business.

5.           There are various platforms that provide cloud services, such as Amazon, Microsoft, and Rackspace. Which provider would you use? Why?

6.           Go to your selection site and select a server that you think would be sufficient for your needs in this business. Include all of the details such as stats and price.

7.           Would you ever see the need to auto scale or be elastic with your server needs? Why/Why not. Provide a scenario if you think this is applicable to your business.
