This week’s journal article was focused on the Complexity of Information Systems Research in the Digital World.  Complexity is increasing as new technologies are emerging every day.  This complexity impacts human experiences.  Organizations are turning to digitally enabled solutions to assist with the emergence of digitalization. 

Please review the article and define the various technologies that are emerging as noted in the article.  Note how these emerging technologies are impacting organizations and what organizations can to do to reduce the burden of digitalization.

Be sure to use the UC Library for scholarly research. Google Scholar is also a great source for research.  Please be sure that journal articles are peer-reviewed and are published within the last five years.

The paper should meet the following requirements:

• 3-5 pages in length (not including title page or references)
• APA guidelines must be followed.  The paper must include a cover page, an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.
• A minimum of five peer-reviewed journal articles.

The writing should be clear and concise.  Headings should be used to transition thoughts.  Don’t forget that the grade also includes the quality of writing.

  Now that you understand and have created a virtual machine,  your Caduceus CTO, Eliza, has asked you to extend that application and  provision infrastructure in the cloud. Specifically, you will provision a  Windows operating system in the cloud. The provisioned infrastructure  could be accessed by any end-user device client. This includes a desktop  running Microsoft Windows, a Mac device running Apple MacOS, iPad,  Android Tablet, and even a Google Chromebook. You will use any of the  aforementioned end-user devices to access the provision infrastructure  once this is set up.

Step 1: Log in to the AWS Dashboard

CMIT 495 requires you to complete hands-on assignments in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) virtual environment.To get started, log in to the AWS free account you created in Week 1.

Step 2: Download the Week 2 Assignment Template

Next, watch the video and download the template from the Cloud Computing Assignment Resources page. You will answer the questions and embed the appropriate screenshots of your cloud infrastructure provision as you work.When providing a detailed overview of the steps required to  install the Windows operating system on the virtual machine, make sure  to include screenshots of each step in the process. Specific details and  instructions are included within the Week 2 Assignment Template.

Step 3: Install and Configure a Microsoft Windows Operating System

• Provision cloud infrastructure via Amazon and a OS platform (PaaS) by installing and configuring a Microsoft Windows operating system that can be accessed on demand by any end-user device.   
  • Research and use AWS documentation and tutorials for instructions and guidance to complete the assignment.  
  • Consult the AWS Connection Documentation in order to connect to the Microsoft Windows operating system.  
  •     How Will My Work Be Evaluated? The following evaluation criteria aligned to the competencies will be used to grade your assignment:  
  • 1.4.1: Produce grammatically correct material in standard academic English that supports the communication.  
  • 2.2.3: Explain the assumptions underlying viewpoints, solutions, or conclusions.  
  • 2.3.1: State conclusions or solutions clearly and precisely.  
  • 3.1.1: Identify quantitative information that is relevant to a problem or situation.  
  • 3.1.2: Analyze quantitative data using an appropriate method.  
  • 10.1.1: Identify the problem to be solved.  
  • 11.1.3: Install software.  
  • 11.3.1: Add and update systems as required.  
  • 11.2.1: Configure technology according to stakeholder specifications and requirements.  

Step 4: Upload Your Work to the Assignment Folder

• When complete, export your file as a PDF and upload to the LEO Assignments Folder (e.g., Project 2 – Cloud Computing).  

Step 5: Stop and Terminate Your Amazon Instance

After you complete the Week 2 Assignment, stop and terminate your  Amazon deployment/instances so you do not receive any unexpected charges  on your account. 

Please read the Scotiabank case study (see HBS Coursepack) and answer the following questions with substantive answers in a cohesive essay. Your paper should be at least 3 pages in length. Use proper grammar, spelling, citations, etc.

1. What are the success factors in the Scotiabank-Kabbage partnership?2. Under what conditions is the same model applicable?When will the Scotiabank-Kabbage model not work?3. Under what circumstances should Scotiabank seek fintech partnerships?4. Identify a sector (e.g., international payments, blockchain, lending or wealth management) and a geographic market where a fintech partnership would create value for Scotiabank, and explain why.5.Based on your answer to question 4, what recommendations would you make to Scotiabank’s executives for a three-year plan, choice of partner, reason for the partnership, and suggested procedure (i.e.,what partnership model to follow)?6. What challengers is Scotiabank facing in the blockchain sector? What are the implications for the bank’s blockchain partnership strategy?

Discuss in 500 words or more federated architecture in cloud systems. Remember that this is a cloud class, not a database class.

Cite your sources. Do not copy. Write in essay format, not in bulleted, numbered, or another list format. 

It is important that you use your own words, that you cite your sources, that you comply with the instructions regarding the length of your post, and that you reply to two classmates in a substantive way (not ‘nice post’ or the like).  Your goal is to help your colleagues write better. Do not use spinbot or other word replacement software. It usually results in nonsense and is not a good way to learn anything. Please do not use attachments unless requested.
