Assignment
1. Evaluate the available cloud service and deployment models for a startup
experiencing unpredictable tra ic spikes. Justify the most suitable choice based on
scalability, cost e iciency, and operational responsibility.
2. Assess how the adoption of horizontal scaling and load balancing would alter
system behavior compared to a vertically scaled on-premise infrastructure during
peak workloads.
3. Assess the suitability of di erent cloud deployment models for a healthcare
organization with strict data-residency requirements. Defend the model that best
balances regulatory compliance with elastic compute needs.
4. Evaluate the limitations of using a single round-robin load balancer for a globally
distributed application. How can cloud-native scalability principles be applied to
mitigate latency during regional failures?
5. Critically evaluate the suitability of Type-1 hypervisors, Type-2 hypervisors, and
containers for migrating OS-dependent legacy applications. Justify why certain
approaches introduce higher risk.
