Drotos Engineering: Cloud Management
Includes: SLA Content Summary
Includes: Issue 1 Provisioning Description
Includes: Issue 2 Provisioning Description
As you are the only IT employee in Drotos Engineering, you persuaded
Senior that you
need outsourcing support to design, deploy, and
maintain the cloud-based solution for
your applications.
Note: You must include an introduction and conclusion for each of the
following
documents. The introduction provides context for what the
reader will read and the
conclusion is a summary statement of what
was presented.

Part 1
As the IT liaison, Senior tasked you with defining the technical
components of the SLA with
the consultants.
Write a 2-page summary that includes:
    • A listing of the Drotos Engineering IT manager and vendor roles and
responsibilities
    • A summary (in narrative or table format) with the acceptable metrics
and
       measurements ranges, with definitions and rationale that will
ensure optimum
       performance. Include minimum and maximum
information for:
    • Disk space use (e.g., for each system, the minimum amount of disk
space required by
       the application/person/system to run efficiently)
    • Response time
    • Uptime
   • Vendor to Drotos Engineering reporting requirements

Part 2
During the first few weeks your SLA is in place, you work with the
consultant to resolve
performance and optimization issues that arise.
Your decisions will help create a
template for the vendor to follow with
later issues. Two issues arose that required
documentation.
Issue 1
The baseline performance for your system is 35% below what was
projected to access
data and store data. Monitoring indicates that the
source of the poor performance
could be the network, disk, or CPU.
Write a 1- to 2-page description of how the vendor should address the
issue using the
following resource provisioning/deprovisioning options:
• Usage patterns
• Cloud bursting
• Extending cloud scope, storage, and virtual machines
• Application life cycle
• Business need changes

Issue 2
Your engineering applications are subject to many regulations. You
learn that a new
security regulation requires the assurance of a 3-
second response time to ensure the
user's flow of thought remains
uninterrupted because of the sensitive nature of the data
on the system.
Write a 1- to 2-page description that defines and describes the
appropriate provisioning
techniques the vendor is to follow to address
the new regulation and to ensure your
customers' and internal data
remain protected.
Compress the following files into a ZIP file:
    • SLA Content Summary
    • Issue 1 Provisioning Description
• Issue 2 Provisioning Description


Discussion Question: Service Level Agreement
You have been asked by your manager to draft a service level agreement (SLA) with
your new third-party cloud
service provider.
Identify three components (e.g., uptime or storage availability) you believe are critical to
include in the SLA.
Describe the component and why the component is critical to include.

Discussion Question: Performance Tuning Best Practice
Select a performance tuning best practice you learned about this week and answer the
following questions:
    • How does this best practice contribute to an optimized implementation of a cloud
        system?
    • How does changing data or changes within a cloud environment alter how this best
      practice can be used for
tuning?
   • How can this best practice be used to ensure alignment with a service level
       agreement?

Discussion Question: New Tools
Research news releases touting new cloud resource monitoring and management tools
and services.
Identify a company with which you are familiar that uses a cloud-based solution of any
kind.
Write a brief description of the company and the cloud solution it uses.

• An issue related to the deployment of an application on a server
• An employee not being able to access an application
Note: You may review Section 16, "Flowcharts," of "Visio® 2007
Essential Training" with
David Rivers from Lynda.com® if you are
unfamiliar with creating flow charts in
Microsoft® Visio.
Part 3
Provide a 1-page overview in Microsoft Word of the flow chart.
Include the following in your overview:
• The purpose of the flow chart
• High-level instructions of how to use the flow chart
Compress your diagram and summary into a ZIP file.


Discussion Question: Troubleshooting
You lead an IT team assigned to support users of cloud-based applications. You are
concerned the team members do
not appreciate the importance of identifying and
resolving issues affecting the security or performance of the
applications as quickly as
possible. You decide to address this at the next team meeting.
Research recent security events of cloud-based systems.
Explain the event and its negative effects.
Describe how a thorough troubleshooting process could have reduced the negative
effects of the event.

Discussion Question: Six Steps of Cloud
Troubleshooting Methodology
You are part of a small IT service and support team. Your manager asks you to mentor a
new person being
transferred onto the team. You are advised to begin your task with an
