Assessment Task

Submit a report that analyzes 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% faster than previous  models.

• Multimedia companies like Snapchat decreased the latency speed of sending Snaps by 20%.

• Pharmaceutical companies like Moderna utilize cloud solutions to sequence its mRNA  COVID-19 vaccine in just 48 hours.

In Weeks 5 to 8, we 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 analyzing real-life  case studies, you will:

• Understand how cloud fits in modern computing requirements

• Understand and categorize the different cloud service models that can be utilized to solve a  challenge

• Identify key cloud service offerings for recommendation to major industry providers

• Compare, contrast and validate different deployment models utilizing services by major  cloud providers.

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 models. • They cater for different service sectors of cloud-like web applications, big data, IoT, artificial  intelligence and so on.

• Each uses a variety of services from providers.

• The case studies are taken from popular public cloud providers.

Report Structure

1. 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 paragraphs.

2. The main body of the report should comprise three different sections with 750 words per  section for each case study. For each case study, you should:

◦ Analysis the case study

◦ Analyze 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

◦ Analyze the application of the different services used in case study

◦ Write a reflection on the case study.

3. Finally, write a conclusion (approximately 250 words) as a summary of your analysis of the case  studies. 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.

4. References: You should support your report with a minimum of 10 to 12 references. These should  be included using the appropriate APA style.

Please refer to the Assessment Rubric for the assessment criteria.

Report writing

Please review the Torrens University Academic Skills page where you can find instructional videos,  samples and other links to support your report writing at:

https://library.torrens.edu.au/academicskills_ap/reports

Referencing

It is essential that you use appropriate APA style for citing and referencing research. Please see more  information on referencing in the Academic Skills webpage.

Submission Instructions

Due date: By 11:55 pm AEST Sunday of Module 8 (Week 8) for a 12 weeks course.

Due date: By 11:55 pm AEST Sunday of Module 8 (Week 4) for Intensive 6 weeks course.

Submit your report as a Word document via the Assessment 2 link under Assessment found in the  main navigation menu of CCF501 Cloud Computing Fundamentals.

Label the document using the following naming convention which includes your student ID, subject  code and assessment number: studentID_CCF501_Assessment 2.docx

Your assessment will be formally graded via the Grade Centre by your Learning Facilitator and  feedback will be provided through My Grades.

Academic Integrity

All students are responsible for ensuring that all work submitted is their own and is appropriately  referenced and academically written according to the Academic Writing Guide. Students also need  to have read and be aware of the Torrens University Australia Academic Integrity Policy and  Procedure and subsequent penalties for academic misconduct. These are viewable online.

Students also must keep a copy of all submitted material and any assessment drafts.

Special Consideration

To apply for special consideration for a modification to an assessment or exam due to unexpected or  extenuating circumstances, please consult the Assessment Policy for Higher Education Coursework and ELICOS and, if applicable to your circumstance, submit a completed Application for Assessment Special Consideration Form to your Learning Facilitator.
