GEL-6.02: Incorporate outside research into an original work appropriately.

Part I: Cloud Adoption

Based on your research and knowledge, locate three recent news articles related to a single topic in cloud computing. Write a 3- to 4-page paper using assigned course readings and at least three outside resources (the news articles you find can count as your three outside sources).

• Include a brief summary of each article and synthesize the articles to create an interesting discussion.
• Relate the main points in each article to something you have learned so far in the course.
• Show how the three articles are related and indicate how reading these articles has helped you understand cloud computing concepts.
• Include a title and reference page, and format your submission using APA guidelines.
