Assignment Description
Infrastructure as a Service or IaaS is a cloud computing model
whereby all the infrastructure is provided
and maintained by cloud providers: servers, storage,
networking, and so on. With IaaS, an organization
can make wise investment in quickly growing with cloud rather
than wasting huge amounts on purchasing
and installing new hardware.
With IaaS model, organizations simply pay a monthly fee to use
resources as per their needs and cloud
providers are responsible for ensuring the maintenance of all the
hardware and virtualized services.
IaaS provides the tools and resources needed for development,
but the organization is responsible for
provisioning and managing its own development platform. This
means developers will need to
orchestrate their own execution processes, manage their own
data services and maintain the underlying
OS. This model gives development team more flexibility when
adding unique features and tweaking apps
and services for maximum performance.
You work as senior developer for software a development
company which develops applications for

mobile platforms. Your company is planning to focus on
building great applications without having to
worry about the infrastructure. Your manager asked you to
compare and contrast two cloud service
providers and their delivery pricing model and other delivery
metrics for IaaS.
By doing this assignment, you will acquire a good
understanding of available cloud service providers and
their service offerings. This will help you to determine the
appropriate cloud provider that provides tools
and resources needed for developing applications for mobile
platforms.
Your Task is:
1. To identify four cloud service providers who offer
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) to
develop applications for mobile platforms.
2. Select one of the cloud service providers from your list for
further investigation. Compare
and contrast between Google Cloud (used in this unit) and the
Infrastructure as a Service of
the cloud service provider you have chosen.
3. You are required to submit a written report in a Word
document. The report should contain
maximum 2000 words excluding references.
The report must contain the following sections (feel free to add
one or more sections if necessary):

• Cover page/title page
• Table of contents
• Abstract
• Introduction
• Cloud service providers:

1. List all identified cloud service providers who offer IaaS
(Infrastructure as a
Service)
2. Select a service provider out of the list to compare with
Google Cloud and write
reasons to justify your choice
3. Comparison and contrast with Google Cloud – this is the
body of the report and
should be written as detailed as possible.
This section must only include comparison and contrast between

Google Cloud and
your chosen service provider for the following metrics:
o Time and effort to create new application environment
o Service Availability (percentage of time system is available)
o Security (Privacy & Data Protection Policies)
o Costing model (service cost)
o Elasticity (automatically add and remove resources)
o Storage
o Your opinion - Based on your comparison and contrast of two
cloud
providers
o Which service provider would you recommend and why?
