A Comparative Analysis of Cloud Computing Service Providers
Nowadays, cloud computing has become more widely used due to the benefits it brought along. In this assignment, we had done a comparative study among the most prevalent service providers which are Amazon EC2, Google Cloud Platform and Microsoft Azure on their offered services, performances, advantages, disadvantages and so on. Through this assignment, I have learnt more about cloud computing from its background to its uses.

Industrial Talk 1
Title: IR 4.0- Past, Present, Future
Date: 24th November 2020
Speaker: Mr Redzuan Shah Bin Yussoff
4IR is the industrial revolution which build on the digital revolution by enhancing it with Artificial Intelligence (AI). It is an era where the robots will learn things from human and few years ago, it was just an imagination. Now I can say that we are still on our way to this new era and I believe in the future, when we completely move into this new era, it will be a totally different life for us. We probably will work in collaboration with robots and the robots might able to have the ability to think itself just like humans. It seems illogical but the technological revolution will basically make all impossible things to become possible. As a computing student, I will be very honored if I have a chance to contribute my efforts in the 4IR in future.

Reflection
In this course, I was given a chance to get more knowledge about the basics of Technology and Information System. This makes me able to explore more what actually a computer is and how it works in our daily life. All of this knowledge will definitely help me in the future. In this case, I would like to thank my lecturer, Dr Azurah who always guides us patiently and makes every lesson a fun and fascinating one. Besides, I also appreciate the efforts of all Group 4 members. From the very start till the end, we accomplished everything together and I can proudly say that we have done a very good job!
Technology is moving so fast nowadays, yet the technology evolution has provided so many opportunities for us. I am always hoping to involve myself and contribute my efforts to the development of technology, that's why I have chosen to study in this program. However, to achieve my target, I still need to work harder, either in hard skills or soft skills.
