Individual Assignment.

Both Deliverables: Post in Discussion Board.

(1) Prepare a list of four (4) Back-up and Disaster Recovery vendors.

Vendors: https://solutionsreview.com/backup-disaster-recovery/backup-and-disaster-recovery-solutions-directory/

Provide a brief description of their services.

Create a grid of them and compare and contrast them. 

(2) Disaster Recovery – AWS Outage 

Disaster Recovery Preparedness

At 9:45 AM (PST) on February 28, 2017, Amazon reported a severe degradation with Amazon Web Services (AWS). Many companies and organizations rely on AWS for their infrastructure. As a result, the incident created a highly-deprecated experience for customers. 

Many companies engineering teams worked through this outage and restored services using an alternate site. 

Companies are continuously enhancing/improving their back-up and disaster recovery readiness. Organizations learned from this incident to mitigate the risks associated with large scale outages from their service providers.

Using Internet resources, research and answer the following questions using MS Word/PDF:  

1. When did the AWS outage start and how long did it last?

2. What was the root-cause of the outage?

3. About how many sites were effected and what are some names of the larger companies?

4. When was the last time AWS was down prior to this incident and what was the root-cause?

5. Has AWS been down since this incident? If so, when, for how long, and what was the root-cause of the outage?

6. What can AWS do to prevent an outage again?

7. Briefly describe the AWS Shared Responsibility Model

8. What can a customer of AWS do to continue uninterrupted computer operations?

9. See this link on Barracuda Security for AWS: https://www.barracuda.com/programs/aws

If you were a customer of AWS, would you consider implementing Barracuda Security for AWS? What security features and why?

10. Prepare a high-level diagram of the AWS infrastructure and pinpoint in the diagram where the root-cause of the security vulnerability occurred.

Grading – 15 Points broken down as follows:

– 5 Points – The details in Deliverable 1

– 10 Points –  The details in Deliverable 2

 Using examples in this book or online, describe a project that suffered from scope creep. Could it have been avoided? How?  

Question 1:

Compare and contrast predictive analytics with prescriptive and descriptive analytics. Use examples.

Question 2:

Discuss the process that generates the power of AI and discuss the differences between machine learning and deep learning.

For this assignment, review the article:

• Identify the hypothesis or question being tested
• Summarize the overall article.
• Identify the conclusions of the authors
• Indicate whether or not you think the data support their conclusions/hypothesis
• Consider alternative explanations for the results
• Provide any additional comments pertaining to other approaches to testing their hypothesis (logical follow-up studies to build on, confirm or refute the conclusions)
• The relevance or importance of the study
• The appropriateness of the experimental design

When you write your evaluation, be brief and concise, this is not meant to be an essay but an objective evaluation that one can read very easily and quickly. Also, you should include a complete reference (title, authors, journal, issue, pages) you turn in your evaluation. This is good practice for your literature review, which you’ll be completing during the dissertation process.

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

• Be approximately 5 (full)pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.
• Follow APA 7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.
• Support your answers with the readings from the course and at least two scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook. The UC Library is a great place to find resources.
• Be clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.

please review table 1.2 in the text and review the distinction between leadership and management.  Then think about this in regard to how senior leaders versus senior managers lead change in an organization (especially when it comes to technical change in an organization).

This week please reflect on these concepts and answer the following questions:

1. When implementing change in an organization, there are always culture issues that are faced, such as not accepting change, determine how differently this would be handled thinking about the management versus leadership constructs?
2. When dealing with performing work, how is this implemented differently within the management versus leadership constructs?

Table 1.2 is in the attached pics
