Throughout the last two modules, you have learned about clou

d

-

based

architectures, cloud computing, and cloud service models. Whether you

have thought about it or not, you have likely used a cloud

-

based

architecture in your personal, academic, or professional life. For

instance, if you have a Google account, you're

using a cloud

-

based

architecture for your email communications or for shared documents.

You may even upload your photos on Google Drive or Apple's iCloud,

which are cloud

-

based environments. As a student at Southern New

Hampshire University, you have used

cloud

-

based virtual environments

within your courses, for example Brightspace and Codio.

For this week's discussion post, reflect on the cloud environments that

you already engage with, whether in your personal or professional life.

In your post:

·

Identify one to three cloud

-

based architectures and their brand

names that you already engage with on a frequent basis

·

Describe how you know that they use cloud computing

·

Explain how these cloud technologies are helpful in your p

ersonal

or professional life

·

Provide at least one citation to support your rationale
