Cloud Architecture
Assessment Task - Cloud Migration Solution and Presentation of Prototype.
Learning Outcome 1: Select and appraise relevant cloud computing components and architecture to meet the ICT service delivery requirements.
Learning Outcome 2: Design cloud architecture in consideration of relevant governance, cybersecurity, and ICT service requirements.
Learning Outcome 3: Apply configure management for continuous improvement of cloud service architecture.
Learning Outcome 4: Communicate the management of cloud architecture and its cybersecurity operations to stakeholders.
Assessment Task
In the same groups as you were in for Assessments 1 and 2, produce a 1000-word report outlining a cloud architecture solution that meets the organisation's requirements. Then, deliver a 7-10 minute presentation to communicate key findings and solutions from the report.
Context
This subject has demonstrated a deep knowledge and expertise in architecting cloud-based solutions that effectively address the specific needs of organisations. In today's fast-paced technological landscape, it has become increasingly common for businesses to embrace cloud computing solutions. As an ICT professional, it is essential to stay ahead of the curve and demonstrate proficiency in designing and implementing cloud-based prototypes.
By gaining hands-on experience in developing prototypes on cloud platforms, you can showcase your skills and capabilities as competent cloud architects. These prototypes serve as tangible evidence of your ability to leverage cloud technologies to create scalable, flexible, and efficient solutions that meet the unique requirements of organisations.
For this assessment, you will incorporate cutting-edge tools and techniques to design a scalable, flexible and secure cloud-based solution to meet the needs of an organisation.
Instructions
You will continue working in the groups you formed for Assessments 1 and 2. You must cite current secondary research from the past five (5) years using APA referencing to support your responses.
They must be included in the reference list in your report and presentation slides. This assessment task consists of two parts:
A 1000-word report on a prototype of the solution for the case study, outlining the solutions and deployment actions.
A 7-10 minute presentation on the developed prototype of your solution.
Task 1: Review the Group Contract
Please read your completed CLA321 Assessment Group Contract. Refer to sections 6.1 and 6.2 of the Student Conduct Policy.
For Assessment 3, you should keep records of communication and drafts.
Consult with your Learning Facilitator regarding any contribution or other issues.
Task 2: Review the case study and plan from Assessment 2.
Re-examine your cloud orchestration plan from Assessment 2.
Revisit the case study to understand the organisation's cloud requirements.
Task 3: Produce a Cloud Architecture Solution Report (1,000 words)
Your group will complete a 1000-word report on a proposed cloud-based solution. The structure of your report findings should be as follows, with an approximate word count per section:
Introduction (approx. 150 words)
Provide a description of business requirements.
Discuss the cloud vendor selection and criteria for choosing a specific cloud vendor.
Provide a list of stakeholders and their roles in the cloud.
Body (approx. 750 words)
Create a visual and informative diagram illustrating the overall cloud service architecture of the proposed solution.
Discuss how the proposed solution meets all the business requirements. Your discussion should be based on the development and implementation of the following components:
Compute infrastructure solution.
Data and storage solution.
Cloud Network solution.
Configuration management solution.
Security policies and governance.
Monitoring and control of the cloud solution.
Operational processes of your solution.
Conclusion (approx. 100 words)
Summarise your findings and solutions.
Reference List
Include in-text citations in your report and the references at the end of the report.
Adhere to the APA style guidelines.
Task 4: Prepare and deliver a recorded group oral presentation (7-10 minutes)
Prepare a 7-10 minute presentation to succinctly report on the key topics and ‘pitch'
your solutions covered in the report.
It is recommended that you create a presentation slide deck of no more than 10 slides.
During the presentation, each group member should introduce themselves and present the slides in a logical sequence.
Please include in-text citations on the slides and a reference list using APA referencing style on the last slide.
Include screenshots of deployment actions for the prototype.
When presenting, you should consider the following points:
Ability to engage with the camera.
Clarity, pace and fluency of your delivery.
Clear and logical sequencing of the content.
Referencing
It is essential that you use the current APA style.
