LO4 Analyse the technical challenges for cloud applications and assess their risks Assignment Brief and Guidance: Task 1
Base on the scenario and architecture design in the first assignment provide the implementation. Because of the time constraint of the assignment, the implementation just provides some demo functions of the scenario. The implementation includes two parts: A step by step instruction o which shows which functions are implemented o How to config, deploy and test the services (Web application, Database Server, Source code management, server logs..) using service provider’s frameworks and open source tools. o Images for the built functions A brief discussion about difficulties which one can face during the development process(optional) The source code for the built application Task 2 The table of contents in your security manual (which should be 500–700 words) should be as follows:
- Analysis of the most common problems and security issues of a cloud computing platform.
- Discussion on how to overcome these issues.
- Summary.

Assignment Answer
P5 Configure a Cloud Computing platform with a cloud service provider’s framework.
1. Deploy the website to Heroku:
Heroku: Step 1: Prepare:
- Heroku account
- Install Heroku CLI
- Install git Step 2: Create an app on Heroku
Connect new app to GitHub Deploy branch
Finishing Deployment Try open app
2. Connecting the website to MongoDB:
Back to the Cluster and click “Connect” Choose “Connect your application”
Get the connection string Connect with MongoDB compass
Deploy to Heroku and connect to MongoDB: Before deploying to Heroku and connecting to MongoDB, my website has some Environment Variables to set the values for each environment I want. I need to install Node.js for building my website easier
P6 Implement a cloud platform using open-source tools.
Website demo – Homepage Function Create New Toy Click “New Toy”, the website will move to /add-toy
MongoDB Function Update existing Product Click “Update Toy” on the page. It will direct us to /update-toy
change all fields and click “Save” to update a new toy. After clicking “Save”. The website will save the selected product from the database. Note that now the spider man toy is changed the price and status.

- Managing cloud spending: Organizations make a lot of errors which can help push their costs upward. Developers or other IT workers often spin a cloud instance that was meant to be used for a short time and forget to turn it off. And many organizations are stymied by the inscrutable cloud pricing schemes which give numerous discount opportunities that organizations may not be using. Multiple technology solutions can help businesses tackle the challenges of controlling cloud costs. For example, cloud cost management solutions, automation, containers, serverless services, autoscaling features, and the many management tools cloud vendors provide can help reduce the problem's reach. Some companies have successfully formed a central cloud team to control use and expenses.
- Lack of resources: Although many IT employees have taken steps to improve their expertise in cloud computing, employers continue to find it hard to find staff with the skills they need. And the pattern appears to be continuing. The Robert Half Technology 2018 Salary Guide noted that "Technology staff with knowledge of the latest innovations in cloud, open-source, web, big data, security, and other technologies will only become more important to companies in the years ahead. Many businesses are aiming to solve this obstacle by recruiting more employees with certifications or expertise in cloud computing. Experts also suggest educating current staff to help them get up to speed with the technology.
- Governance: In this scenario, one of cloud computing's main advantages — the pace and ease of deploying new computing tools — can become a possible downfall. Many companies lack visibility in the "shadow IT" their workers use, and governance in hybrid cloud and multi-domain environments becomes especially challenging. Experts claim that companies can mitigate some of these issues around cloud infrastructure management by adopting best practices, including setting and implementing standards and policies. And several vendors provide tools for Cloud management to simplify and automate the operation.
- Compliance: For several enterprises, and IT teams, the recent explosion of activities surrounding the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has brought compliance back to the forefront. It is important that one feature of the GDPR law could encourage enforcement in the future. Many organizations are required by law to designate a data protection officer who manages data privacy and security. If these people are well versed in the enforcement requirements of the organizations where they operate, centralizing enforcement duties can help businesses satisfy their legal or regulatory obligations.
- Managing multi-cloud environments: It's not just one cloud that most organizations use. Right Scale findings show that 81 percent of companies pursue a multi-cloud strategy, and 51 percent pursue a hybrid cloud strategy (both public and private clouds are integrated together). In fact, on average, 4.8 different public and private clouds are used in companies. Multi-cloud environments add to the IT team’s complexity. Experts recommend best practices, such as doing research, training employees, actively managing vendor relationships, and rethinking processes and tooling, to overcome this challenge.
- Migration: Although it's a fairly simple process to launch a new application in the cloud, transferring an existing application to a cloud computing system is much more challenging. A Velostrata- sponsored Dimensional Research study found that 62 percent of those surveyed said their cloud migration ventures were harder than anticipated. Moreover, 64 percent of migration projects have taken longer than planned and 55 percent have exceeded their target. More precisely, many of the companies transitioning applications to the cloud reported time- consuming trouble-shooting (47 percent), security configuration difficulties (46 percent), sluggish data migration (44 percent), difficulty getting migration tools to function properly (40 percent),
