In unit 1.3, the class was tasked with writing three separate definitions for a single, relatively complex term in our respective program disciplines. The types of definitions included are a parenthetical definition, a sentence definition, and an expanded definition. These are centred around a reading situation and are targeted at an audience of non-technical readers.
The term that I chose to write about was “Cloud Architecture”. Cloud computing has always been a fascinating topic for me. The entire domain is so vast, powerful, and permeates so much of our lives in the modern world. Many of the most popular applications today use cloud computing in some form or another. At its core is the architecture upon which it is built. Given the opportunity to research and write about a term of our choosing, I thought that this was a great time to dive deep into this realm.
The assignment itself was somewhat challenging, and I think that this was in part due to the complexity of the chosen term. Cloud Architecture can present itself in many different forms, and so finding supplementary research that reduced the term to its core components was rather difficult. Needless to say, it was an interesting journey, and I am very happy with the final product.
