• Conclusion:  Summarize the most important ideas from the paper and also make recommendations or how they might have achieved even greater success.

This paper should not be a cursory overview. This is a technical class and should be a review of the technical solution. It should detail what was moved to the cloud, what cloud services were and are being consumed, and what the results were.

Warning: If you choose Netflix, be certain to include precisely how cloud services are being used to facilitate their business. There are numerous resources that detail this, but it is vital that you understand exactly what cloud mechanisms are used to facilitate their business.
