Week 2 – Cloud Computing

1. Log in to your newly created AWS account and take a screenshot of the AWS Management Console (Dashboard) and embed it below.  The screenshot should include the username you created during setup.

2. Launch a Windows Virtual Machine (VM).  Provide a detailed overview of the steps required to install the Microsoft Windows operating system on the VM.  The steps may be listed in bullet points or complete sentences. Use as much space as required.  Finally, take a screenshot of the desktop and embed it below.

3. Using what you learned from Project 1, provision and launch a new AWS EC2 Ubuntu Linux Server and connect to it via SSH.

4. Using AWS, create a network file system with Amazon Elastic File Systems (EFS) and attach it to the running Ubuntu Server AWS instance.  Use the AWS Use Cases web page for step-by-step instructions.  Take a screenshot of the result and embed it below.  Specifically, take a screenshot of verifying your file system has been successfully mounted, and the results of creating a test file in your new file system by running a simple dd command to generate a 1GiB file in your new directory.  Finally, describe the value of a network file system.

5. Using AWS, create a S3 bucket, upload a file to the S3 bucket.   Use the AWS Use Cases web page for step-by-step instructions.  Take a screenshot showing the file was uploaded to the S3 bucket. Embed both screenshots below. 
    
6. The CTO will be reviewing this document.  You have shown how easy it is to provision a Microsoft operating system using AWS.  The CTO chose AWS because it offered a free account.  She will now expect a recommendation from you on what cloud service to use for the organization PaaS (e.g., operating system) needs.  There is no need for a private cloud, so the public option will work just fine.  Describe the different between the Google Cloud Platform, Amazon AWS, and Microsoft Azure.  Make a recommendation to the CTO as to which service provider you would recommend and why.  Be explicit and detailed in your recommendation.
    
7. Confirm that you have stopped and terminated your Microsoft Windows virtual machine, deleted your file system from the Amazon EFS console, deleted the contents of your Amazon S3 bucket, and deleted your Amazon S3 bucket.  To confirm, simply type your name below.
