CMP9785M Cloud Development - University of Lincoln

Assessment Task and Purpose:

Learning Outcome 1: Critically evaluate and compare cloud-native application design to standard monolithic development practices;

Learning Outcome 2: Design and develop a secure, scalable cloud native application using a range of core services as part of a cloud systems development lifecycle;

Learning Outcome 3: Implement DevOps practices for continuous integration/continuous delivery and testing strategies;

Overview
Your task for this assessment is to design, develop, and deploy a full-stack IoT cloud application using a range of cloud services. The IoT application theme can be chosen by you, and use the simulated device console app to send data to your cloud services. The application should include the use of Azure's IoT service stack as well as DevOps testing strategies. The assessment is in two parts, the first of which is a written report to document the process of developing the full-stack cloud application, with the second the development work.

Part 1 - Report
Using the Azure cloud vendor as directed by the delivery team, you will tap into the knowledge and skills gained in the module to research and select the cloud services you will use for your IoT application solution. You will document this research in a short report that includes a cloud architecture diagram and a list of the cloud services for your solution. The report should be 3000 words maximum and include the below sections:
Introduction - The theme and scope of your full-stack cloud application (~500 words)
Cloud Architecture Diagram - A visual representation of your selected cloud services, highlighting interconnectivity between services
Cloud Services - A list of the cloud services in your diagram with a discussion on their purpose and use (~1000 words)
Development - A discussion on the development challenges you faced and how you addressed them (~1000 words)
DevOpS/Testing- A discussion on the DevOps/Testing strategy used for the application (~500 words) References - A list of supporting academic and official vendor documentation references.

Part 2 - Development
You should develop and deploy the full stack cloud IoT application as presented in your written report. Essentially, you should use your cloud architecture design diagram as the blueprint to develop and deploy your application. You will use the same cloud vendor platform as taught throughout the module. You are not permitted to develop for any other cloud platform.
The application must include the following services, please note where these are run and deployed:
• Azure IoT Hub (running in the cloud)
• Cosmos DB (running in the cloud)
• Azure Functions (running locally in VSC)
• Azure App Service (running locally in VSC)
You must also modify and use the simulated device console app to generate sensor data for your cloud services, specifically for sending to the Azure IoT hub. You can choose the type of sensor data you wish to send to your cloud services to align with your application by modifying the code of the simulated device app.
