For children to be fully equipped for thecurrent scenario and future, the school library must adapt. As more teaching and learning activities move online, it iscrucial for the children and staff members to have access to all online programs and facilities.Currently the 20 desktop computers cannot be accessed from outside the school. There is no robust search, security oraccess mechanism. In its current form, the library simply cannot function.A complete redesigning of digital infrastructure of the library is required to accommodate student and staff needs.Someone recommends an AWS infrastructure implementation.Your task is to answer the following questions:a.
