CN7026 Cloud Computing Assignment – University of East London, UK
As a cloud professional, you have been allocated a scenario (see below for list) to develop a cloud-based solution for a company or an organisation. For this course work, you are required to start with an introduction that gives an overview of the current system in your scenario and identify a problem or issue that cloud computing can be used to address. You must gather functional and non-functional information about the existing system. Use the information gathered to carry out the tasks and produce the deliverables in session 2.0 below:
Tasks –
Task 1 – Document and submit a cloud architecture for the scenario allocated to you. Please upload as a .pdf document.
Task 2 – Your report must include a demonstration part of your architecture that has been implemented on any one of the Cloud platforms (AWS, MS Azure or Google).
Deliverables – Perform the tasks below and submit the Deliverables
You will have to produce and submit the Project report through Moodle in PDF format:
1. The Project report (.pdf document 1500 words +/10%, excluding references and pictures), which will consist of the following main areas:
i. Introduction: use the sample case study below as a guide to write your introduction that set the scene for the problem domain.
ii. Project plan: the plan must explain the milestones and other project planning aspects.
iii. Body:
a. Requirements Gathering:
Identify and specify functional and non-functional requirements to solve the presented problem.
Identify the key characteristics (e.g., risk) of the system from your point of view and describe how cloud computing can help in this case.
b. Choice of cloud platform as solution for the problem domain and rationale for choice
c. Choice of data centre and standards
d. System Architecture
Architect the cloud solution for the scenario with a justification of the services you are using.
Implement 20% of the architecture and provide screenshots using the appropriate cloud platform.
e. Analysis and Reflection
Present your analytical reflection on how to maintain the system, manage its evolution, respond to the evolving business needs as well as regulations and government rules.
iv. Conclusion
