Marks 25
1. Overview (you must read this first)
You are to attempt this assignment individually, no group work is allowed. You are to create a one-way video to answer
few technical questions related to cloud foundations. One-way video is a very popular technique among employers in
Australia while hiring graduates.
If you find a specification open to interpretation, post a query identifying the specification in the corresponding discussion
board for assignment 3.
All of us have been affected by the unfortunate COVID-19 scenario and its aftermath. It is often hard to concentrate
and study online; but as a student enrolled in this course, it is your responsibility to regularly attend online session(s).
• Bring your questions to online discussion board, online facilitation sessions
• Watch the online recordings on a regular basis if you cannot attend the live sessions.
• Do NOT start the work on assignment at the last minute.
• Do NOT ask for last minute extensions, these are often rejected. Extensions can only be granted for personal
and medical reasons, provided you can supply some evidence.
2. Learning Outcomes
This assessment relates to all of the learning outcomes of the course which are:
• CLO 6: Communicate using the proper language of the field including reports written with a professional
approach
3. Academic integrity and plagiarism (standard warning)
Academic integrity is about honest presentation of your academic work. It means acknowledging the work of others while
developing your own insights, knowledge and ideas.
RMIT University treats plagiarism as a very serious offence constituting misconduct. Plagiarism covers a variety of
inappropriate behaviours, including:
• Contract cheating- paying/asking someone to do your work
• Failure to properly document a source involving none, insufficient or incorrect referencing
• Copyright material from the internet or databases
• Collusion between students
4. Assignment 3 task (25 marks)
On-demand interviews or one-way interviews are a newer form of video interview. In these automated forums a
candidate typically video records answer(s) for a pre-recorded set of questions. The video recording is then watched by
the hirer at a later point. On-demand processes offer greater scheduling convenience for both parties and are
becoming an increasingly common tool for employers particularly for initial screening. Although simple sounding, these
videos take some practice to get them to look professional. Many graduates find them difficult. Organisations like
Accenture, ANZ, Commonwealth Bank, Deloitte, NAB and Telstra routinely ask candidates to prepare one-way video for
the interview process.
For the purpose of this assignment, you will be given a scenario and a question in the context of Cloud foundations.
You are to prepare a single video to answer these questions. Please note the guidelines for the video:
a) The total length of the video must not exceed 10 minutes.
b) You must personally appear on the video- no PowerPoint or any form of presentation tool is allowed. The
video is about your body language, presentation technique and professional etiquettes.
c) You should make an attempt to look semi-professional. You do not need to be attired in suit/dress etc. But you
should not look unkempt. Think of it as a one-way video that you are preparing for a future job.
d) You may use any tool for preparing the video, it should be clear in terms of audio and video quality.
e) You should not be reading answers – in other words do not look like a news reader. Do your homework prior
to making the final video. Practise before you make the final video.
f) After answering a question there should be a pause of 5-10 seconds.
g) No annotations or fancy editing is required for the purpose of this assignment
h) The final video must be in mp4 format
i) The maximum allowable video size = 800 MB and,
j) Finally, look confident, interested and sharp!
Here is the scenario and the question that you need to answer:
Consider a scenario where the state government of Victoria (Australia) wants to use AWS infrastructure and services to
create a brand-new web platform for a smooth rollout of the COVID vaccination. The web portal would publish relevant
information, provide access to clinics, hospitals, and doctors to set up the logistics of vaccine rollout. It will also allow
general population to read information, make bookings, and print personal reports.
What are some essential things that must be considered by the state government before commissioning such a web
portal backed by AWS Cloud?
You have up to 10 minutes available so do not rush your answer. Explain your answer by providing sufficient
justification.
