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.

The candidate must demonstrate the ability to complete the tasks outlined in the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit, and to:

design at least one architecture that will scale networking, compute and storage for a multi-tier web application

design at least one microservice architecture for implementing a simple web application

deploy a microservice application utilising cloud serverless technologies.

In the course of the above, the candidate must:

use cloud management consoles, software development kits or command line tools

apply web-scaling principles and technologies.

The candidate must demonstrate knowledge to complete the tasks outlined in the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit. This includes knowledge of:

industry technology standards used in cloud computing solutions and services

industry standard hardware and software products, their general features, capabilities and application, including storage technology

functions, benefits and differences of web-scale cloud components, including:

structured query language (SQL) and NoSQL databases

monolithic and microservice architectures

virtual, container and serverless compute models

content delivery networks and in-memory data stores

definitions, functions, features and uses of web-scale cloud infrastructure, including:

highly cohesive and loosely coupled systems

database and storage services for persistent data storage

application program interface (API), messaging and queuing services

testing and debugging techniques

web-scaling principles and technologies.

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assignment, checklist) and due date here

Assessment task 1: [title]      Due date:

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
