BSACB/531 Competency 2 Assessment and Rubric Course Title: IT Architecture in the Age of Cloud

Competency Assessment Title: Retail Case Study Summary

Assignment Directions Global Technology Retailers (GTR) is pleased with the report you submitted, which addressed many of the concerns with AWS. They are getting closer to moving forward with the decision to adopt AWS for their cloud computing. However, they are interested in finding out how other large retailers have used AWS to solve challenges. As the IT architect and IT manager, prepare a summary of at least three or four case studies with citations to help them see how other retailers were able to use the cloud technology.

Refer to the AWS Customer Success web page, where you can read case studies. You can search case studies by Company Type or by Solution to find studies for this assignment.

Write a 2- to 3-page summary of 3 or 4 case studies including:

• Define performance architecture. • Describe the issue or challenge the retailer wished to solve in each case study. • Discuss how they used the technology and their outcome. • Discuss common challenges among the retailers and how the solutions may relate to GTR. • Explain how you think AWS can help GTR create performance architectures based on outcomes for the retailers in the case studies.

Cite the study and any other sources using APA guidelines and provide attribution, where appropriate.
