VPC Subscribe As you learned this week, a virtual private cloud (VPC) enables you to launch resources into a virtual network that you've configured and gives you full control over those resources. That provides a level of security over a public cloud when you need to control your resources and sensitive data over a virtual infrastructure. But VPCs also have drawbacks, including increased configuration complexity.
Address the following questions in your discussions. Be sure to answer all questions in your initial post and respond to two posts by your classmates.
Question 1: What are the components of an Amazon VPC?
Question 2: What is the default VPC and what are its advantages?

This week, you learned that a virtual private cloud (VPC) provides you complete control over resources and allows you to launch them into a virtual network that you have created. In situations when you need to manage your resources and sensitive data over a virtual infrastructure, that offers a certain amount of protection over public clouds. However, there are disadvantages to VPCs as well, such as more configuration complexity.
During your conversations, take up the following questions. Make sure to address every query in your initial post as well as the two posts made by your peers.
Question 1: What are the components of an Amazon VPC?
For this assignment, think about a company for which you currently work or one for which you worked previously. If one does not come to mind, feel free to create a fictional company. Using your textbook and sources from the CSU Online Library, you will compose a written essay of at least three pages in which you will include the following information:
Identify cyber security risk components that may exist within your real or fictional company.
Develop and describe a cyber security risk mitigation strategy for a real or fictional company.
Describe the challenges and benefits of implementing a cyber security risk mitigation strategy for a real or fictional company.
Please be sure that your written response utilizes proper APA formatting and that all sources used, including the textbook, are referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations.
explains the 5 components of a career development plan: Objective – Milestone – Obstacles – Solutions – Goal.
Your Week 1 Lesson and readings further explain the five SMART goals.
For this Assignment, you are to create your 1-3-5 year career development plan using these 5 components of a Career Development Plan with a timeline of SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Timely).
Please consider your needs/plans for further learning/professional development in preparing for this Assignment. What do you anticipate needing, and how will you acquire it? If you want to skip the 5 years part and project that point farther to 7 or 10 (i.e., 1-3-10) because that works better for you, that is fine. Just explain how your plan is structured. Also, consider how social service/giving back to community figures in your future career aspirations — why this is/is not important to your career plans. (We will cover this aspect further in Lesson 3 but touch on it as a planning point.)
GUIDANCE FOR CONSTRUCTING YOUR PLAN.
Many career development plan templates are available on the Internet for laying out your plan components. How you are most comfortable with your thought process and planning approach is what you should use. However, regardless of your personal design approach, you must use the above 5 components of the Career Development Plan and incorporate SMART goals. A table approach such as the sample shown in the Week 1 Lesson is useful for organizing a plan.
REPORTING YOUR PLAN — PREPARING THIS ASSIGNMENT — POWERPOINT PRESENTATION – READ THE RUBRIC
When you have designed your career development plan, prepare a PowerPoint that presents your plan in an organized fashion. Imagine that you are giving this PPT presentation to a group of business people at a job fair. This should be attractive, engaging, and easy to follow on the slides. What is your story? How do you explain (or illustrate) your SMART goals and hit each component of your plan within your timeline in an organized, interesting way? The slides should be attractive but not cluttered. The additional explanatory narrative must accompany the slides in the speaker notes section under each slide or in the alternative by your audio or video accompanying the PPT. All your information does not have to be ON the slides. Your presentation is a combination of pertinent key points on the slides with an explanatory narrative in your speaker’s notes.
PPT Specifications:
Title slide with your name, title, course, date, university
Agenda slide following title slide that outlines the presentation
References slide at the end with source citations in APA citation format
Research must be included using credible sources — not Wikipedia, not other sites of poor credibility. Use required readings.
At least 8 to 10 substantive slides (excluding title and reference slides)
Avoid excessive quotations — if used, an in-text citation of the source must be provided with the quote
Professional slide appearance/graphics, pictures, color, etc. — but avoid these interfering with the readability of slides. Keep audience viewing in mind
(Victoria)1. The eight key components of e-Commerce business models are value proportion, revenue model, competitive environment, management team, organizational development, market strategy, competitive advantage, and market opportunity. One example of the revenue model is the subscription revenue model, often used by B2C businesses to increase profit. Many services that offer subscription options offer a free version of their service but with many advertisements to generate profit. This model offers a benefit to consumers with a price. Subscription services typically offer a monthly or yearly price for access to the service (often removal of advertisements). Current business models have high sales and easy to see brand strategic advantages (Chai & Zhu, 2022).
2. One major B2C business model is e-tailer. An e-tailer is an online retail store. These online stores sell their goods or services from the internet to the consumer directly. Profits are made in keeping expenses low and learning the target audience to advertise to. This is further expanding the business process from wired network technology to wireless network business (Chai & Zhu, 2022). Another popular B2C business model is content provider. A content provider provides informative content often in the form of video, photo, music, art, or text. This model makes a profit through advertisements and charging subscriptions to view content. As we continue to grown into an increasingly more technology based society, online content becomes more important. A business providing valuable content can increase sales tremendously.
3. One major B2B busines model is e-distribution. This is similar to an e-tailer except an e-distributer provides goods or services directly to individual businesses. This model makes a profit in selling many products to directly to businesses. A business would prefer to buy many products from one distributer rather than purchasing from various. Another B2B busines model is exchanges. Exchanges are independent online marketplaces where many suppliers can connect with commercial purchasers to conduct transactions. This benefits both the buyers and sellers with increase of opportunity and lower transaction costs. (Laudon & Traver, 2021)

ASSIGNMENT: Select one of the following writing prompts and draft a 3-5 page (approximately 800-1300 words) informative essay. As a part of your completed draft, complete the color coding activity described below. In addition, answer the “Think About Your Writing” questions on a separate sheet of paper and include it with your draft submission.
Note: Touchstone 3 will be a revision of the draft that you submit for Touchstone 2.2.
Choose one of the following prompts for your informative essay.
PROMPT A: IMAGE ANALYSIS: Although we look at print advertisements every day, we often do not consider the ways in which they affect us. Visual images in ads can influence and persuade us, so it is important to evaluate them critically to understand their meanings. Good image analysis involves examination of the components of an image to gain an understanding of the whole.
Select an advertisement to analyze. The advertisement you choose should be directed towards a specific audience. To identify the intended audience, think about the members of the potential audience for the advertisement that you have chosen. Who are they? Ads for a beauty product, for example, may be aimed at young girls; ads for a deodorant might target men; a diaper commercial is likely intended for new parents; ads for cruise trips might be aimed at retirees. You can use any academically-appropriate advertisement to complete this assignment, as long as its intended audience is clearly identified.
Your thesis must inform the reader of your topic and purpose. Because you are writing in the informative mode, use objective language and a neutral point of view.
Draft an analytical essay that examines the audience, context, and purpose of the advertising image you’ve chosen. Read the article by Jenna Pack titled “Breaking Down an Image” found in the “Model Informative Essays” tutorial for ideas about how to write an image analysis. Your analysis should lead to a conclusion about the ad’s effectiveness, based on examination of its components. Include the image with your draft.
PROMPT B: EXTENDED DEFINITION: Define or redefine one of the following words:
Family
Success
Courage
Art
Beauty
In your draft, briefly explain how society, or the dictionary, defines the word you’ve selected, and then explain your unique or extended definition of the word. Provide examples and explanations to support your definition. Your thesis must inform your readers of your new definition and, because you are writing in the informative mode, you must use objective language.
Draft an extended definition essay that defines or redefines a word or concept. Read the article by Dan Richards titled “Digital Ethics” found in the “Model Informative Essays” tutorial for ideas about how to write an extended definition essay.
B. Think About Your Writing
As a part of your completed draft, complete the color coding activity and include answers to all of the questions below your draft.
PART 1: Color Coding Activity
Using the color codes provided, evaluate your draft as follows:
Use red text to indicate your thesis statement.
Use green text to indicate the topic sentence of each body paragraph.
PART 2: Questions
1. What is the significance of your essay? Why should readers care about what you have written? (2-3 sentences) Sophia says: Think about why you decided to analyze this particular image, or why you picked the word you chose to define. Your interest in in your subject matter should be clear to readers.
2. Which areas of your draft do you think will benefit most from revision? (2-3 sentences) Sophia says: Consider the organization, style, focus, development, and conventions of your draft. Which areas did you struggle to complete?
3. Consider the strengths and weaknesses of your writing. How can you capitalize on your strengths and improve on your weaknesses in future essays? (3-4 sentences) Sophia says: Think about what was easy about writing the draft, and what was more difficult. For example, if you write paragraphs with strong topic sentences, but repeatedly use the same type of sentence to provide supporting details, you can improve your paragraphs by varying sentence structure.
