SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE, COMPUTING & ENGINEERING

2.0 Course Work Requirement 

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.

●     Document and submit a cloud architecture for the scenario allocated to you

●     Your report must include an implementation of your architecture that has been implemented on any one of the Cloud platforms (AWS, MS Azure or Google).

●     Use the information gathered to carry out the tasks and produce the deliverables in section 3.0 below

●     Appendix A has some useful resources 

3.0 Deliverables 

Perform the tasks below and submit the Deliverables 

You will have to produce and submit the Project report through Moodle in PDF format:
