Unit of Competency ICTCLD507 - Build and deploy resources on cloud platforms
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to configure, deploy and monitor a range of technology resources of core cloud computing service on a cloud platform.The unit applies to cloud engineers, cloud systems administrators and those who work within cloud computing operations to provision, implement and maintain cloud computing solutions for a business with little guidance or supervision. These ICT professionals may work from designs developed by cloud architects and focus on operational concerns, including automation and maintaining cloud resources. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Skills in this unit must be demonstrated in a workplace or simulated environment where the conditions are typical of those in a working environment in this industry.

This includes access to:

cloud vendor service provider

cloud managed database service

information and data sources required to design and implement cloud infrastructure

integrated development environment (IDE)

specific requirements and industry standards, organisational procedures and legislative requirements, including business and functionality requirements, as required

internet and web browser

secure shell (SSH) or remote desktop protocol (RDP) client to connect to cloud-hosted instances

data to gather information from to determine output and user requirements, including user access and business protocols.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.

Evidence Required

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:

deploy and configure at least 6 of the following different types of cloud resources, including but not limited to

virtual machines

container services

load balancers and autoscaling

serverless functions

API gateways

block or object storage

managed databases

DNS

content delivery networks.

In the course of the above, the candidate must:

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

develop and execute test plans and demonstrate successful task completion

consider procedural improvements to produce repeatable and automated deployments by reducing manual processes.

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 applications

testing and debugging techniques of cloud resources and technologies

purpose, benefits and features of cloud-based:

virtual machines and containers services

API gateways and serverless computing

load balancing and autoscaling

block and object storage

managed databases

DNS and content delivery networks

resource logging, monitoring and alerting tools

repeatable and automated provisioning with

software development kits

command line tools

infrastructure as code services.

Submission Requirements

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

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

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.
