Problem Set B

1 .
You own a small business and have decided to expand your operations. To support the expansion, you need a cloud solution that will allow you to keep your customers’ data private, while also providing them with access to multiple applications. Because your budget is limited, your cloud solution must have a competitive price, and you want the option of having a backup vendor to ensure your system doesn’t experience downtime. Describe the cloud solution that you will implement and explain why you selected this option.
2 .
As you expand your business, you want to offer employees more flexibility in how they structure their work processes. You hope this will make employment with your business more attractive to highly qualified job seekers. Explain how you will use BYOC solutions to make your business’ approach to work more attractive and entice employees to work for you.
3 .
You are the news director for your university’s website, and you want to provide students with university news as well as weather updates and news from local and national sources. How can a cloud mashup help you accomplish this?
4 .
Mount a Microsoft Azure file share using this tutorial for Linux, this tutorial for MacOS, or this tutorial for Windows (your choice).
5 .
Navigate to the various big cloud portals (i.e., Amazon AWS, Google GCP, IBM Cloud, and Microsoft Azure) and create basic VMs on each one of these clouds. Delete the VM instances after you create them unless you plan to use them again in the near future (in which case make sure to stop them to limit the consumption of cloud resources). Follow this tutorial to build and deploy a simple web application on the Microsoft Azure big cloud.
6 .

You will need to work with this tutorial for this problem.

The application is a casino-like solution where users are able to bet money for a number between 1 and 10 and if they’re correct, they win a portion of all the ether money staked after 100 total bets.

  1. Follow the tutorial to create and deploy the DApp in Ethereum (off-cloud for now).
  2. Review and summarize the blockchain offerings and tutorials available on the various big clouds at the following locations:

Implement/port the tutorial application created in part A so it operates one of the big cloud platforms just listed.

7 .
Install scikit-learn and explore machine learning. Name at least three ways that machine learning can help you study and pass this class.
8 .
Follow the ROS Tutorial and the CoppeliaSim’s additional tutorials in their comprehensive user manual.
9 .
Follow these instructions to experiment with the Franka simulator.
