Cloud computing is a collection of individual technologies that become one integrated technology for deployment.

Create a 3-page process map using Visio showing the various components of cloud computing and who has responsibility for the implementation and support of the cloud. Additionally, include basic cloud essentials, security, virtualization and databases. Be detailed with the use of text boxes, directional lines and text boxes with overview statements as needed to ensure clarity about your presentation of information.

Note: Responsible parties can include vendors, in-house IT, outsourced IT, security team, or hybrid group. You may also use free software, such as LucidChart, instead of Visio.

Create a 1- to 2-page diagram using Visio describing the different components involved in the virtualization process, such as virtual machine (VM) images, the hypervisor, and the virtualized infrastructure manager (VIM).

Note: You may also use free software, such as LucidChart, instead of Visio.
