Start Here Great news! Executive leadership has reviewed and approved the Cloud Adoption Policy Addendum. As the principal cloud architect for BallotOnline, you are now looking forward to the next challenge from the leadership team: creating a design for cloud deployment throughout the organization. The designs for each component in the organization will make up the Cloud Deployment Architecture Plan.

BallotOnline has decided to move forward with the top three workloads identified as "cloud ready": email, software development, and backups and archiving. You know that those workloads can be very different from one another. You will need to carefully review the workloads in terms of performance, capacity, cost, and availability requirements. You will need to design the deployment architecture plan for each workload. This will require you to research and evaluate the available cloud service offerings as well as the kind of architectures that would be best for BallotOnline. Your cloud deployment architecture plan must meet BallotOnline's cloud adoption policies and the business needs for deploying these workloads in the cloud. It's another layer of responsibility, and you realize that a lot of the company's financial viability rests on your ability to find the best service offerings. Check the Project 2 FAQ thread in the discussion area for any last-minute updates or clarifications about the project. You will design the deployment architecture plan for each workload over a series of 10 steps, and the project will take about two weeks to complete. Click on Step 1 to get started. When you submit your project, your work will be evaluated using the competencies listed below. You can use the list below to self-check your work before submission.  6.6: Evaluate and select cloud providers (AWS, Azure, VMware, Google Cloud, IBM).  6.7: Assess cloud storage providers.  8.2: Assess network security and privacy risks associated with cloud infrastructure.  9.3: Develop documentation (plans, policies, and procedures) to support a cloud operation.  9.5: Design a virtualized network infrastructure to meet business needs.

 9.6: Design cloud storage infrastructure to meet business needs.  10.1: Develop and implement a cloud metering system.  10.6: Configure a private cloud infrastructure using industry leading software.  10.7: Configure a public cloud infrastructure using industry leading provider(s).  11.2: Monitor cloud services charges from vendors and make adjustments to stay within budget.  11.4: Monitor system performance. Step 1: Develop User Stories From BallotOnline Employees BallotOnline has decided to move forward with the migration of the email, software development, and backups and archiving workloads to the cloud. You will need to have a good understanding of what users really need in terms of performance, capacity, availability, etc., in order to design an effective architecture and select the best cloud offerings. In this step, you will write user stories , https://content.umuc.edu/file/43afe668-c717-4170-a2d8-035ff36831c4/2/UserInterviews.html brief high-level definitions of requirements that describe what the user wants to achieve in simple terms. Watch the four user interviews of current BallotOnline employees describing their IT needs. You can record your user stories in the user stories template . Upload them to the submission box below for Sophia’s feedback. DUE: Submission for Project 2: User Stories: User stories template

Step 2: Evaluate Available Cloud Service Offering Architectures for Email There is no one-size-fits-all cloud solution. You need to take workloads into account before deciding on a cloud deployment model. In order to make good design decisions, you have to understand the business, the cloud components, and the specific requirements involved. In this step, you will be using the workload requirements for email to evaluate the available SaaS offerings. Examples of Email as a Service Offerings  Microsoft Azure’s Microsoft Office 360  Zoho  Gmail

 Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) Review  Cloud Providers  Cloud Computing: A Review of PaaS, IaaS, SaaS Services and Providers  Considerations for Cloud Provider Selection  Best Practices for Cloud Implementation As you did while preparing the Cloud Adoption Policy Addendum, you will focus your efforts on the market leaders in the cloud computing industry: Amazon AWS , Microsoft Azure , and Google Cloud Platform . You will review the workloads based on the following criteria from the workload requirements for email and align the workload requirements with the appropriate cloud service offering. Your criteria should include:  performance  capacity  cost  availability requirements Summarize your findings in a one-page document that describes your rationale for selecting the appropriate cloud service offering. This will be part of the overall cloud deployment architecture plan that you will present to leadership. Submit your initial document for Sophia’s evaluation in the dropbox below. Her early feedback will be valuable as you compile similar documents for software development and backup and archiving.

DUE: Submission for Project 2: Cloud Service Offering for E-Mail: workload requirements for email Step 3: Evaluate Available Cloud Service Offering Architectures for Software Development Similar to the way you evaluated cloud architectures for email, in this step you will focus on the software development environment in cloud platforms . Traditionally, software development efforts follow the software development life cycle . In the cloud, the core steps of the SDLC may take advantage of PaaS offerings, which provide
