Major assignment report and video presentation
Assignment specification

Overview

This assignment is designed to reinforce the concept of leveraging AWS-cloud service instances in a complex scenario. You will be expected to write a report (approximately 2000-2500 words, excluding references) demonstrating the usage of AWS cloud platform and related cloud technologies by deploying AWS services in a Amazon Virtual Private Cloud.

This is an individual assignment. The assignment consists of three parts:
1. an environment development with AWS;
2. a written report and

How and where to develop.

This assignment task will be implemented in "Academy Learner Lab ". In this environment you have usage limit of $100.

You should try and test development parts, first in "AWS Academy Introduction to Cloud

These environment do not use your $100 limit and does not incurring any actual costs

Tip: To refresh the session length at any time, choose Start Lab again before the timer reaches 0:00. When you are confident with your development part migrate it into "Academy Learner Lab ".

You should also consider stopping (not terminating) instances to reduce costs.

When you decide to terminate an EC2 instance make sure to delete or reattach associated resources. EBS volumes which do not have "Delete on Termination" set to true as they will persist after this instance is terminated. These volumes may incur costs even if you don't use it.

It is recommended to take and save screenshots which are requested, or which show intermediate results early enough in case you run out of credit and cannot access the environment anymore.

Application Development Requirements
In this task you are required to create the following Scenario:

Summary: One VPC with four subnets (two private and two public subnets) in two Availability Zones and one security group.
An Amazon RDS DB instance with high availability which is deployed in the private subnets on both Availability Zones.
One EC2 instance as windows workstation deployed in the public subnet. The EC2 has 30 Gb root storage and a second 80 Gb EBS storage.
The windows workstation has an installation of SQL Server Management Studio which is configured to connect and use the database.
Not in the picture: Add Identity and Access Management (IAM) service and create a user with access rights to the RDS but not to the EC2 and one user with access rights to the EC2 but not to the RDS.

To create this scenario, you should:
• Create a VPC with Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC).
• Create subnets.
• Create Route tables or associate existing route tables to the new subnets.

• Launch an Amazon RDS DB instance with high availability
The RDS instance must have your name in its instance name

Configure the DB instance to permit connections from your window Workstation.

• Launch a EC2 instance as Window Workstation into the public subnet of the VPC.
• Add a EBS with 80 GB to the Window Workstation.
• Install SQL Server Management Studio on the Window Workstation
• Connect to the RDS using SQL Server Management Studio on the Window Workstation Create screenshot 4: SQL Server Management Studio.

The screenshot must show the Remote desktop instance and the RDS instance with student name.

• Add Identity and Access Management (IAM) service and create a user with access rights to the RDS but not to the EC2. The name of this user must be RDS_Admin_<your_Name> and one user with access rights to the EC2 but not to the RDS. The name of this user must be EC2_Admin_<your_Name>.

• Sign in as RDS_Admin_<your_Name>. Try to stop the EC2. An error message appears and says that you are not authorized to perform this operation.
Create screenshot 5: Take a screenshot showing the name: RDS_Admin_<your_Name> in the right upper corner and the error message.
• Sign in as EC2_Admin_<your_Name>. Try to stop the RDS. An error message appears and says that you are not authorized to perform this operation.
Create screenshot 6: Take a screenshot showing the name: EC2_Admin_<your_Name> in the right upper corner and the error message.

3. Written Report Requirements
The report should contain a cover page with the university name, school name, course code, course name, assignment title, student name and student. The text format must be single spaced with font size Arial 12 and larger font size for the headings.

The report must contain a table of content, an brief introduction which contains a general description of the AWS Cloud.

The report text should explain the implementation with the following FOUR (4) headings (sections):

1. Scenario Overview
- Describe the scenario in your own words using the names from your instances and the four required screenshots. You can use additional screens to support your explanation.
Your explanation should be more detailed than the summary of theses instructions and also explain the rout tables used.

- Explain a possible technical/business applicability. Support your description with references.

2. Cloud Services Used
- Provide a brief description of the AWS services used in the scenario.

3. Screenshots from previous instructions

4. List of references
- Provide a list of references which contains URLs (web links) to Internet resources used for the service descriptions.

4. Video Recording Requirements
Demonstration of your scenario should be captured in a video recording between 5 to 6 minutes duration in which you present:
1) Overview of the scenario: VPC, EC2, subnets and security groups.
2) How you use the remote desktop to connect to the EC2 Windows workstation instance
3) In the remote desktop section how, you connect to the RDS database using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.

The video must be taken via Kaltura Capture Desktop Recorder with Screen and Camera to capture you presenting, including your face. Video and sound should be of high quality and the voice is understandable.
