Implementation
Step 1: Select the Appropriate Cloud Service Offering to Deploy Backups and Archiving
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.
Amazon has two products commonly used for backup and archiving,
Amazon S3 and
Amazon Glacier. Review those cloud service offerings and determine which option best meets the needs for BallotOnline’s backups and archiving requirements.
After you have aligned the workload requirements with the appropriate cloud service offering, discuss the differences and why S3 is more commonly used for backup while Glacier is more commonly used for deep archiving in Discussion: Rationale for Your Cloud Service Offering Selection. Afterward, write a one-page summary of your rationale. This will be part of the final runbook submitted at the end of the project.

· Click My Tools in the top navigation bar.
· Click Discussions.
· Select the relevant discussion.
Once in the discussion, you can Start a New Thread, as well as respond to threads others have created. Use the discussion to develop awareness, share your thoughts, ask questions, and reflect. Remember that everyone brings a valuable and unique perspective, and treat everyone with respect.
When you have finished your documentation, move to the next step, where you will configure and deploy a
virtual private cloud (VPC) in AWS.
Project 3: Plan the Cloud Deployment Implementation
Step 6: Write and Submit the Final Cloud Backups and Archiving Deployment Runbook
You have completed your backup deployment to AWS and are monitoring the resource consumption using CloudWatch, so now you must put everything together for BallotOnline’s leadership to review.
In this step, you will create and submit your consolidated Cloud Backups and Archive Deployment
Runbook. The runbook will be eight to 10 pages.
The Cloud Backups and Archiving Deployment Runbook will enable you to consolidate all the work that you have completed in the previous steps along with some additional elements you will create (scope, executive summary) to build a comprehensive runbook. Sophia will present your work for approval at the executive meeting.
Use the
Cloud Backups and Archiving Deployment Runbook Template to write your backups and archiving runbook and submit it after reading the instructions below.
Check Your Evaluation Criteria
Before you submit your assignment, review the competencies below, which your instructor will use to evaluate your work. A good practice would be to use each competency as a self-check to confirm you have incorporated all of them.

Key Points
After you have received successful grades on Project 3, you should stop and terminate the infrastructure you created in AWS to
avoid incurring unexpected charges from AWS.
