CCF501 Cloud Computing Fundamentals Assignment
Assessment Task
Submit a report that analyses and determines the application of various cloud services and deployment models.
Please refer to the Instructions for details on how to complete this task.
Context
Cloud solutions vary by sector to sector such as:
- Automotive companies like F1 (Formula One car racing) use cloud solutions to run aerodynamic simulations to make a next generation car that is 70?ster than previous
- Multimedia companies like Snapchat decreased the latency speed of sending Snaps by 20%.
- Pharmaceutical companies like Moderna utilise cloud solutions to sequence its mRNA COVID-19 vaccine in just 48
In Weeks 5 to 8, we had explored major public cloud providers, the comparison among them, advanced cloud concepts, models and some deployment case studies. Case studies are one way to develop your analysis skills. This assessment provides an opportunity for you to apply the knowledge and skills you have learnt in Weeks 5 to 8 weeks to close-to real-life scenarios. By analysing real-life case studies, you will:
- Understand how cloud fits in modern computing requirements
- Understand and categorise the different cloud service models that can be utilised to solve a challenge
- Identify key cloud service offerings for recommendation to major industry providers
- Compare, contrast and validate different deployment models utilising services by major cloud
Instructions
Report
This assessment requires you to prepare a 2,900-word report (+/-10%), excluding references, based on the three case studies provided by your Learning Facilitator.
Please be advised that the following points were taken into consideration during the case study selection process:
- Each of the three case studies presented are from different service and deployment
- They cater for different service sectors of cloud-like web applications, big data, IoT, artificial intelligence and so
- Each uses a variety of services from
- The case studies are taken from popular public cloud
Report Structure
- Start off with a short introduction (approximately 400 words) stating the basic information relevant to the report and introducing relevant points relating to the case studies. For example, you can provide background information including some context related to cloud computing. This section must be written in complete sentences and
- The main body of the report should comprise three different sections with 750 words per section for each case For each case study, you should:
- Analysis the case study
- Analyse the service model for the case study, including the different services provided by the cloud provider in the case study
- Compare and contrast the different deployment models for the case study
- Analyse the application of the different services used in case study
- Write a reflection on the case
- Finally, write a conclusion (approximately 250 words) as a summary of your analysis of the case This section brings together all of the information that you have presented in your report and should link to the purpose of the assessment as mentioned in the introduction. You can also discuss any areas which have been identified as requiring further investigation and how this will work to improve or change our understanding of the topic. This section should not introduce or discuss any new information specifically and like the introduction, it must be written in complete sentences and paragraphs. No tables, graphs, diagrams or dot points should be included.
- References: You should support your report with minimum of 10 to 12 references. These should be included using the appropriate APA
