TASK - 02
The Department of Spatial Information (DSI) is a State
Government department. The major function of DSI is to
provide accurate and timely spatial information to other
Government departments, but also to make some of this spatial
information available to the public. In order to provide both the
government and public services, DSI has developed a number of
web services that deliver this information through a number of
internally developed services and applications. This suite of
web services and applications is referred to as the DSI Online
Spatial Delivery System (OSDS).
The OSDS is considered essential by DSI and their users, so
these services must be:
• Readily available and accessible at all times,
• Capable of handling heavy loads in times of peak demand,
• Capable of serving downloads to users as required,
• Secure from attacks,
• Capable of providing detailed reports on usage.
DSI have a number of new projects being developed that are
expected to increase the demand for its spatial data
dramatically. The Executive Management of DSI have looked at
a number of proposals to support these new programs. The two
alternatives they are investigating are:
1. Increasing the internal DSI Data Centre capacity to host and
support the new projects in the OSDS. This would probably
need a 50% increase in web infrastructure and support services
within the Department. This would necessitate an increase in
data centre infrastructure, server numbers as well as a major
increase in the bandwidth available to DSI.
2. Migrating the OSDS to a Cloud provider. This would allow
DSI to continue to develop and refine the data in its internal
Maintenance systems and then move a copy of the completed
data to the cloud-based Delivery system for publication.
DSI Management would like to adopt Proposal 2, in order to
meet their budget restrictions, but have asked you to prepare a
report for the DSI Board that looks at the following aspects of
the proposal:
1
. The possible delivery and deployment models that DSI should
adopt for a cloud-based OSDS. This should include:
a. The advantages and disadvantages of using either an IaaS or
PaaS approach for the OSDS, (20 marks) and
b. The possible architecture(s) that could be used to deploy the
OSDS (20
marks).
2
. Should the Board consider the use of a Cloud Edge solution
for the OSDS? What advantages and disadvantages would the
Edge give to the OSDS? (20 marks)
3. The OSDS software architecture uses a monolithic approach
to design, while a move to use the Edge will require many
applications and web services to be redesigned as micro
services.
a. Explain the differences between monolithic and micro service
architectures to the DSI Board using an example (20 marks).
b. Describe the advantages and disadvantages of these two
styles of software architecture (20 marks)
4
. Your recommended approach for delivery and deployment of
the OSDS, including the reasoning for your recommendation (20
marks).
Your report should not exceed 10 pages, excluding references.
RATIONALE
This assessment task will assess the following learning
outcome/s:
• be able to compare and evaluate the ability of different cloud
computing architectures to meet a set of given business
requirements.
• be able to evaluate a set of business requirements to determine
suitability for a cloud computing delivery model.
