I just wanted to check in and ask what workload is moving to the cloud first." "We're prepared to start with backups and archiving." The second panel still shows the video call, "That makes sense. Go for it. Send me the runbook when you're dones. I'll present it in the next executive meeting." "You've got it. Enjoy the rest of the conference." "Thanks. Talk to your later."](https://leocontent.umgc.edu/content/dam/course-content/tgs/cca/cca-630/image/CCA630-Proj3-P3Scenario.png)
Your work to move BallotOnline’s operations is progressing, and executive leadership is happy with what you have proposed thus far: a policy document as well as an architecture plan for cloud deployment. In the meantime, the procurement department has selected a proposal in response to BallotOnline’s request for proposal for some additional cloud services. The winning proposal is going to use AWS for the next round of service migration.
Cloud computing architects are expected to use major cloud service offerings to deploy specific workloads. Your next step is to deploy one of the workloads that you evaluated and documented in the Cloud Development Architecture Plan to ensure that everything will work smoothly during the transition to the cloud.
You decide to deploy BallotOnline’s backups and archiving in the cloud infrastructure, since this is typically the first workload that goes to the public cloud. To do this, you will need to determine the appropriate cloud service offerings to deploy backups and archiving and proceed with the deployment. You will use your documentation from the deployment to develop your final deliverable, a runbook describing the processes and procedures for managing the cloud backups and archiving deployment. Then, in the next project, you will use the runbook to develop the operations manual, which everyone in the organization will use.
Currently, BallotOnline is using Windows servers for its file servers. For this project, you have selected one of the smaller file servers and will set up backup and archiving to the cloud for the server.
As BallotOnline’s cloud architect, you will need to go through a series of steps to deploy the backups and archiving. First, you will create the virtual private cloud (VPC), which will house the AWS assets. After you have created the VPC, you will then create a storage bucket that will be later used to house your backup data.
You will then use the IP address and credentials to BallotOnline’s file server to back up user data to AWS S3 using your cloud backup service (Cloud Sync). You will also deploy Data Broker (AWS software) that will be used by Cloud Sync to process the backup requests. After Data Broker is deployed, you will complete the deployment process for Cloud Sync. Then, you will be ready to back up BallotOnline’s data to AWS S3.
You will proceed through six steps. The project will take about two weeks to complete.
The BallotOnline executive leadership team will evaluate the runbook to determine the degree to which you are able to meet BallotOnline’s cloud adoption policies as well as the organization’s business needs for deploying these workloads in the cloud. Once again, your challenge will include creating the best process for implementation while balancing the cost of doing business.
Project 3: Plan the Cloud Deployment Implementation
Step 1: Select the Appropriate Cloud Service Offering to Deploy Backups and Archiving

Sync the data to the cloud and run the backup, 4. Set up ongoing usage monitoring to control costs, 5. Put everything together in the Backups and Archiving Runbook. Step 1: Set up your virtual private cloud is highlighted.](https://leocontent.umgc.edu/content/dam/course-content/tgs/cca/cca-630/image/CCA630-Proj3-Runbook1.png)
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.
When you have finished your documentation, move to the next step, where you will configure and deploy a virtual private cloud (VPC) in AWS.
Step 2: Configure and Deploy the AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)
![Table listing the five stages of cloud deployment implementation: 1: Set up your virtual private cloud, 2. Create a bucket in the cloud to store the data, 3. Sync the data to the cloud and run the backup, 4. Set up ongoing usage monitoring to control costs, 5. Put everything together in the Backups and Archiving Runbook. Step 1: Set up your virtual private cloud is highlighted.](https://leocontent.umgc.edu/content/dam/course-content/tgs/cca/cca-630/image/CCA630-Proj3-Runbook2.png)
Now that you have selected the appropriate service offering for cloud backups and archiving, you can deploy the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC). Amazon VPC is used to create a private, isolated section of the AWS cloud. From here, users can launch AWS resources in a virtual network using defined IP address ranges.
Take Action
Follow the instructions in the VPC Deployment Guide to deploy the VPC in AWS. As you work on configuring and deploying the AWS VPC, take screenshots of each step and save them in the Deployment Report.
You will use this deployment report document to record your work configuring and deploying the workloads in the final runbook.
When you are finished configuring and deploying the AWS VPC, proceed to the next step, in which you will create an Amazon S3 (simple storage service) bucket to store BallotOnline’s data.
Take Note
You can keep track of your configuration and deployment work with the Deployment Report.
Continue using the document to record your screenshots of each step for use in the final runbook.
Step 3: Configure and Deploy an S3 Bucket in AWS
![Table listing the five stages of cloud deployment implementation: 1: Set up your virtual private cloud, 2. Create a bucket in the cloud to store the data, 3. Sync the data to the cloud and run the backup, 4. Set up ongoing usage monitoring to control costs, 5. Put everything together in the Backups and Archiving Runbook. Step 1: Set up your virtual private cloud is highlighted.](https://leocontent.umgc.edu/content/dam/course-content/tgs/cca/cca-630/image/CCA630-Proj3-Runbook2.png)
Now that you have created the private cloud, you can set up storage for the data by deploying an S3 bucket.
Take Action
Use the S3 Bucket Deployment Guide to deploy an Amazon S3 bucket to store and retrieve data within the cloud.
Continue using the Deployment Report document from the previous step to record your screenshots of each step for later use in the final runbook.
When you have finished configuring and deploying a S3 bucket in AWS, proceed to the next step, in which you will configure and deploy AWS Data Broker so that you can sync data from a source to a target.
Step 4: Configure and Deploy Data Broker and Cloud Sync
![Table listing the five stages of cloud deployment implementation: 1: Set up your virtual private cloud, 2. Create a bucket in the cloud to store the data, 3. Sync the data to the cloud and run the backup, 4. Set up ongoing usage monitoring to control costs, 5. Put everything together in the Backups and Archiving Runbook. Step 3. Sync the data to the cloud and run the backup, is highlighted.](https://leocontent.umgc.edu/content/dam/course-content/tgs/cca/cca-630/image/CCA-Proj3-Runbook3.png)
In this step, you will deploy Data Broker and Cloud Sync in your AWS VPC. The Data Broker software is used to sync data from one source to another target. This is known as a sync relationship, or cloud sync. Cloud Sync is the framework that leverages Data Broker. Cloud Sync moves data from one source to another destination and keeps the data in sync on a scheduled basis.
Take Action
Use the instructions in the Cloud Sync Service Guide to access the file server and to deploy Cloud Sync. This will enable you to copy data in S3 for backup and recovery purposes.
Continue using the Deployment Report document from the previous step to record your screenshots of each step for later use in the final runbook.
With Cloud Sync in place, you have everything to complete the data sync and start the backup. Continue to the next step to deploy CloudWatch monitoring.
Step 5: Deploy CloudWatch Monitoring
![Table listing the five stages of cloud deployment implementation: 1: Set up your virtual private cloud, 2. Create a bucket in the cloud to store the data, 3. Sync the data to the cloud and run the backup, 4. Set up ongoing usage monitoring to control costs, 5. Put everything together in the Backups and Archiving Runbook. Step 3. Sync the data to the cloud and run the backup, is highlighted.](https://leocontent.umgc.edu/content/dam/course-content/tgs/cca/cca-630/image/CCA630-Proj3-Runbook4.png)
Now that you’ve completed your configuration and deployment for BallotOnline’s backups and archiving, there’s one more important matter to take care of. Sophia has reminded you that monitoring resources is important to the senior executives, who are interested in understanding the costs of cloud deployment. She suggests using AWS CloudWatch.
Take Action
Use the CloudWatch Monitoring Guide to deploy the CloudWatch monitoring to monitor your cloud resource consumption.
Continue using the Deployment Report document from the previous step to record your screenshots of each step for later use in the final runbook.
Once you have configured and deployed AWS CloudWatch for your cloud backups and archiving environment, you are ready for the final step: to write and submit the final cloud backups and archive deployment runbook.
Step 6: Write and Submit the Final Cloud Backups and Archiving Deployment Runbook
![Table listing the five stages of cloud deployment implementation: 1: Set up your virtual private cloud, 2. Create a bucket in the cloud to store the data, 3. Sync the data to the cloud and run the backup, 4. Set up ongoing usage monitoring to control costs, 5. Put everything together in the Backups and Archiving Runbook. Step 5. Put everything together in the Backups and Archiving Runbook, is highlighted.](https://leocontent.umgc.edu/content/dam/course-content/tgs/cca/cca-630/image/CCA630-Proj3-Runbook5.png)
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.
