As BallotOnline's cloud architect, you will need to go through a series of steps to deploy the backups and archiving. First, you will create the virtual private cloud (VPC), which will house the AWS assets. After you have created the VPC, you will then create a storage bucket that will be later used to house your backup data.
You will then use the IP address and credentials to BallotOnline's file server to back up user data to AWS S3 using your cloud backup service (Cloud Sync). You will also deploy Data Broker (AWS software) that will be used by Cloud Sync to process the backup requests. After Data Broker is deployed, you will complete the deployment process for Cloud Sync. Then, you will be ready to back up BallotOnline's data to AWS S3.
You will proceed through six steps. The project will take about two weeks to complete.
Case Study Summary: BallotOnline Co. Currently, BallotOnline Co. is running at full capacity and needs to expand its IT infrastructure to accommodate its growing needs. Instead of expanding current on-premise IT infrastructure by building or acquiring a new data center, Sophia your supervisor has suggested that the cloud may be more efficient and cost-effective than adding more traditional physical data center space. An important part of your presentation to the BallotOnline executives is to help the executive leadership understand cloud service models and cloud deployment models. It will also need to cover the two basic components of cloud infrastructure: cloud compute and cloud storage. In this project, you will learn about different IT policy components, how the IT policies align with the business objectives, and you will also learn the important considerations for alignment of cloud adoption strategy with the IT policies. Your supervisor, Sophia, has recommended that you review BallotOnline's existing IT policy. When reviewing existing IT policies, it is important to understand both the technical information as well as the business impact of any proposed policy changes or updates. There are a number of factors to consider, including recovery time objectives (RTO), recovery point objectives (RPO), cost of change, and time-to-market. In the past few steps, you have documented the design for your cloud deployment plan. You will use those drawings as part of your final submission to company leadership. However, there are some additional components you will need for the cloud deployment architecture plan. . Task: Final Cloud Backups and Archiving Deployment Runbook BallotOnline has completed the proposal review process, and the procurement committee has selected a proposal that will use AWS for the next round of service migration. Step 1. Now that you have selected the appropriate service offering for cloud backups and archiving, you can deploy the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC). Amazon VPC is used to create a private, isolated section of the AWS cloud. From here, users can launch AWS resources in a virtual network using defined IP address ranges. Take Action Follow the instructions in the VPC Deployment Guide to deploy the VPC in AWS. As you work on configuring and deploying the AWS VPC, take screenshots of each step and save them in the Deployment Report. Step 2. Use the S3 Bucket Deployment Guide to deploy an Amazon S3 bucket to store and retrieve data within the cloud. Take Action Continue using the Deployment Report document from the previous step to record your screenshots of each step for later use in the final runbook. Step 3. In this step, you will deploy Data Broker and Cloud Sync in your AWS VPC. The Data Broker software is used to sync data from one source to another target. This is known as a sync relationship, or cloud sync. Cloud Sync is the framework that leverages Data Broker. Cloud Sync moves data from one source to another destination and keeps the data in sync on a scheduled basis. Take Action Use the instructions in the Cloud Sync Service Guide to access the file server and to deploy Cloud Sync. This will enable you to copy data in S3 for backup and recovery purposes. Step 4. Now that you've completed your configuration and deployment for BallotOnline's backups and archiving, there's one more important matter to take care of. Sophia has reminded you that monitoring resources is important to the senior executives, who are interested in understanding the costs of cloud deployment. She suggests using AWS CloudWatch. Take Action Use the CloudWatch Monitoring Guide to deploy the CloudWatch monitoring to monitor your cloud resource consumption. Continue using the Deployment Report document from the previous step to record your screenshots of each step for later use in the final runbook.
