List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Analyse the existing business ICT system assets | 1.1 Review the business assets and identify the most appropriate for possible cloud deployment 1.2 Evaluate each asset’s risk tolerance to the business, for possible cloud deployment |
2. Select the most suitable deployment and/or delivery model for each asset | 2.1 Map each asset to potential cloud deployment models 2.2 Review and select the most relevant delivery model for each asset 2.3 Document the security risks to the business as a result of using the identified deployment and delivery models |
3. Develop a cloud implementation strategy | 3.1 Develop a cloud implementation plan, incorporating the most appropriate deployment and delivery models, in line with the enterprise requirements 3.2 Develop a costing for the technology requirements of the implementation proposal 3.3 Develop processes for the periodic review of the cloud service metrics, associated with the implementation proposal |
Evidence of the ability to:
analyse and document, the effectiveness of existing cloud computing deployment and delivery models
research the cloud computing options in the marketplace
develop a cloud computing implementation strategy that meets the enterprise needs.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
research and synthesise information to determine and document current business processes, and cloud service sources
define and employ coaching, mentoring and teamwork skills to ensure the support of cloud computing strategies as an ongoing initiative
investigate and analyse cloud computing concepts, processes and trends
synthesise the relevant enterprise policies and legislation that affect business operations, specifically privacy legislation
discriminate between the legal, ethical and security issues relating to cloud computing
evaluate organisational change-management theory and methods
determine the risk tolerance issues, as they relate to the development of cloud computing strategies
investigate and critically analyse, the methods of deploying cloud technology strategies
investigate and critically analyse, the security issues relevant to a business.
Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the general information and communications technology (ICT) industry, and include access to:
a workplace of sufficient complexity, to enable the required level of analysis to be carried out in relation to current business processes, and possible future cloud computing solutions
relevant enterprise strategic documentation, including:
strategic planning
financial
ICT infrastructure
enterprise objectives and policies.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
