Purpose of the Paper

This paper must analyze how a transition from on-premises infrastructure to cloud computing affects an IT Systems Administrators role and create both:

A structured six-month skill development plan
A long-term continuous learning strategy

The writing must demonstrate understanding of cloud computing concepts and how IT roles evolve with technological change.

Required Sections and Criteria (Must Follow Exactly)

The paper MUST be organized using the exact section headings below:

A. Impact of Cloud Migration on Core Responsibilities

A1. Core Responsibilities and Impact

Identify three relevant core responsibilities from the scenario:

Server deployment/maintenance
User permissions and access control
Backups and disaster recovery
Virtual machines
System monitoring

For EACH responsibility:

Explain how it works in the current on-premises environment
Clearly explain how it changes in a cloud environment
Discuss new skills required
Demonstrate understanding of cloud concepts (IaaS, IAM, managed services, shared responsibility model, elasticity, automation, etc.)

This section must show depth and specificity not general statements.

B. Six-Month Cloud Skill Development Plan

B1. Monthly Plan

Create a structured six-month plan with:

One specific goal for each month

Goals must build progressively (foundations hands-on security automation certification)

Each goal must directly relate to cloud proficiency

Must show logical progression

There must be exactly one clear task/goal per month.

B2. Three Strategies for Success

List three concrete strategies that support completion of the six-month plan.

Examples:
Scheduled weekly study hours
Hands-on lab practice
Certification exam preparation
Mentorship or online community engagement

Strategies must directly connect to the six-month plan.

C. Continuous Learning Plan (5-Year Outlook)

C1. Three Ongoing Activities (Outside Workplace)

Examples:
Maintaining certifications
Attending conferences
Completing quarterly courses
Participating in professional groups

Must clearly show commitment to long-term skill growth.

C2. Three External Resources

Examples:
AWS/Azure/Google Cloud documentation
NIST publications
Industry journals
Professional learning platforms

Resources must be specific and credible.

C3. Workplace Learning Methods and Tools

Include:

Three ways to learn cloud skills inside the workplace

Three specific tools that support that learning

Examples:
Ways:
Participating in migration projects
Shadowing cloud engineers
Post-incident analysis

Tools:
Cloud dashboards
Infrastructure as Code tools
Monitoring platforms
Ticketing systems

Must clearly distinguish between ways to learn and tools.

C4. Method to Evaluate Progress

Describe:
How progress will be measured
How skill gaps will be identified
How the plan will be adjusted as technologies evolve

Must include a structured review method (quarterly review, certification benchmarks, skill matrix, etc.)

D. Sources (Required)

The paper must:

Include at least 23 credible sources

Include in-text citations

Include a properly formatted reference list

Acceptable sources:
NIST Cloud Computing Definition
AWS Well-Architected Framework
Microsoft Azure Documentation
Peer-reviewed or reputable technical sources

Citations should follow APA format.

E. Professional Communication Standards

The submission must:

Be written in professional academic tone

Use complete sentences

Have no grammar errors
