Case Study Summary: BallotOnline Co.
Currently, BallotOnline Co. is running at full capacity and needs to expand its IT
infrastructure to accommodate its growing needs. Instead of expanding current
on-premise IT infrastructure by building or acquiring a new data center, Sophia
your supervisor has suggested that the cloud may be more efficient and cost-
effective than adding more traditional physical data center space.
An important part of your presentation to the BallotOnline executives is to help
the executive leadership understand cloud service models and cloud deployment
models. It will also need to cover the two basic components of cloud
infrastructure: cloud compute and cloud storage.
In this project, you will learn about different IT policy components, how the IT
policies align with the business objectives, and you will also learn the important
considerations for alignment of cloud adoption strategy with the IT policies.
Now that you have completed BallotOnline's Cloud Deployment Programmatic
Approach, you have a better understanding of the available programmatic cloud
deployment approaches and options, and how these approaches differ from
traditional IT deployment approaches. You are now prepared to perform
activities to migrate workloads to the cloud infrastructure.
Your supervisor, Sophia, the vice president of Information Technology (IT), has
tasked you with the migration of workloads to the cloud infrastructure and has
selected the migration of a database that is part of a critical aspect of
BallotOnline's operation. You are also asked to migrate the corporate intranet to
the public cloud. You will now evaluate and compare different data migration
approaches and select the best approach for BallotOnline

Project 1: Develop Cloud Migration Plan
Step 7: Write the Final Cloud Migration Plan
Now you can consolidate the work that you have completed in the steps along
with some additional elements (scope, executive summary, etc.) to create a
comprehensive migration plan that aligns to BallotOnline’s existing IT
policies. Sophia will present your work for approval at the executive meeting.
At this point, you should have a better understanding of the cloud migration
strategy and how a cloud migration plan differs from a traditional IT data
center migration plan. This knowledge differentiates you from a traditional IT
professional and solidifies your standing in the ranks of cloud computing
professionals.
The final document should be between eight and 10 pages. Use the Cloud
Migration Plan Template to write your Cloud Migration Plan and submit it via
the dropbox below.
