Context:
This assessment is designed to acquaint the students to public cloud platforms, their products, and
experience the concepts of virtualisation and resource pooling in the Cloud Environment.
Project:
The project comprises of two tasks;
1. Explore Google Cloud Platform, setup a Virtual Machine in Google Cloud, deploy LAMP (Linux,
Apache, MySQL and PHP) Server on that server install WordPress, without using any “Click to
Deploy” Images.
2. Explore Amazon Web Services, setup an EC2 instance in AWS, deploy LAMP (Linux, Apache,
MySQL and PHP) Server and on that server install WordPress, again without using “Ready to Deploy
Images”
The deliverables of this project will be a report and a demonstration that can be carried out by the
instructor in person or can be shared as screencasts of student’s project showing GCP and AWS
dashboards, WordPress dashboard and all login credentials of AWS and GCP accounts and
WordPress administrator with Public IP addresses of the registered instances or Virtual machines.
Instructions:
For AWS and Google Cloud Platform, you will register for a free Virtual Machine and Free Tier EC2
server.
The assessment requires you to prepare a report based upon your project and to record a screencast
of your Project. To do this you will need to consider the following and specifically add in the body of
the report:
1. Key service offering from Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud Platform.
2. Comparison of cost model of AWS EC2 and GCP VM.
3. The procedure you followed from the registration of your account to the deployment of
WordPress with supporting evidence like screenshots and logs.
4. Possible improvement suggestion in the process while remaining within the Cloud domain.
5. Comparison of both the Platform EC2 and VM.
6. The concept of virtualization and elastic resources in AWS and GCP.
Writing the report
Start off with a short introduction (approximately 100 words) stating what the assessment is about
and some basic information relevant to the Project. This section is to be written in complete
sentences and paragraphs. It should not contain any dot point information or tables, graphs and
diagrams.
The introduction should be followed by some background information (approximately 200 words), in
which you can provide some context related to cloud computing and the deployment models.
Then structure the main body of the report (approximately 2000 words) using the above 6 points as
sub - section headings. These sections should be written in complete sentences and paragraphs.
However, you can include items such as graphs, diagrams and tables if appropriate. Ensure that you
title these clearly, in the correct way, and reference using the APA system. If placing any tables,
graphs and diagrams in an appendix at the end of your report, you need to clearly state where the
item can be located. Generally, the information presented in appendices does not count towards the
total word count.
Finally, write a conclusion (approximately 200 words) as a summary of your project. 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 that
have been identified as requiring further investigation and how this will work to improve or change
our understanding of the topic. This section does not introduce or discuss any new information
specifically, and like the introduction, will be written in complete sentences and paragraphs. No
tables, graphs, diagrams or dot points should be included.
