Concepts of Cloud Computing and Internet of Things (IoT)

  1. Concepts of Cloud Computing and Internet of Things
    (IoT)
     Cloud Computing Concepts
    o What is Cloud Computing?
    o What are the characteristics and acronyms of
    cloud computing?
    o How important is cloud computing?
    o What are the limitations of cloud computing?
     IoT Concepts
    o What is IoT?
    o How does IoT Works?
    o The Effects of IoT on Businesses?
    o Why is IoT a vital part of cloud Computing?
  2. Cloud Hosting Providers and the cloud computing
    opportunities they offered
     Analyzation of the following cloud service providers:

    o Azure
    o AWS
    o Google Cloud
    o IBM Cloud
     Provide a summary of each cloud service provider.
     Why would you choose one cloud service provider over
    the other?
     How does each cloud service provider handle the factors
    below?

    o Scalability
    o Elasticity
    o Single vs. Multitenancy
     Which factor(s) above are most important when
    focusing on security concerns, such as access controls,
    disaster recovery, data integrity, ease of use,
    affordability.
  3. Cloud Computing Storage Options
     Explain the global cloud storage market and its storage
    configurations.
     Provide a detailed industry overview.

    o Including the vendors
    o The storage solutions
    o Factors such as the rising need for big data
    storage and the increasing adoption of cloud
    storage gateways are driving the demand for cloud
    storage solutions globally
    o Factors listed above (redundancy, scalability,
    performance, security, pricing)
    o Users access
     The transition of enterprises from virtual machines to
    the cloud will additionally extend the impetus required
    for strong growth.
  4. Cloud Security – How can you guarantee the integrity
    of remote environments?
    Develop a standard security configuration plan. Your paper
    should address all the following.
     Organizational access controls:
    o Administrative (management) controls
    o Logical (technical) controls
    o Physical controls
    o Penetration testing
    o prevent Auditing
     Explain which Disaster recovery options you would use.
    o Redundancy requirements
    o Backup solutions / schedules
    o Expectations and timing for restoring
    infrastructure/data
    o Incident planning
     Use a SWOT Analysis to determine what needs to be
    done?
    o What is the strength
    o What are the opportunities
    o What is the threat
  5. Budgeting for a Cloud transition
    Focus on the pricing strategies a company will need to
    consider when migrating to the cloud.
     Conduct a price comparison for three different cloud
    companies. You can use the company Expedient from
    the table in this week’s introduction as one of them.
    Some other cloud providers are in Week 2 (e.g., AWS,
    Azure, Google Cloud, IBM Cloud).
     Create three budget tables like the one in this week’s
    introduction showing the costs associated with each of
    the companies that you in your comparison.
     Explain how the cost to migrate to the cloud will
    impact your company’s total cost of ownership and how
    long will it take for your company to see some return
    on its investment?
     Determine which elements in your budget table can be
    removed to reduce the cost. Think about which
    elements are critical to your company and which
    elements you would like to have but are not critical.
     Is there any other marketing or pricing strategy that
    can be used to reduce the cost for your company to
    migrate to the cloud?
  6. Application Migration from On-Premises to the Cloud
    Create a proposal that will assess the migration path for all
    on-premises technology to the Cloud. Be sure your proposal
    specifically addresses the following:
     Include an overview of the company that you are
    migrating to the web.
    o Name of the company – You can create a
    fictitious company, or you can use the company
    from the Week 4 Assignment.
    o Size of the company
    o Is the company’s network infrastructure ready for
    the cloud, or do you need to pay to get it
    ready?
    o Do you need to pay for company downtime? Will
    the company lose funding during migration?
     Determine which cloud provider you will use to transit
    to the cloud (choose between the three that you
    compare in the Week 5 Assignment).
     Provide the networking configurations of cloud-hosted
    applications.
     Identify the integration of cloud technologies in a
    technical environment (data lifecycles – data in rest,
    data in transit, encryption standards).
     Explain the impact of cloud-based applications on both
    internal IT staff and end-users.
    o Testing plans
    o Communication
    o Change management for future upgrades
    o Implications of internet performance and latency
    for user access changes
     Diagram your proposed cloud configuration.
