Provisioning and Deprovisioning 3.6

Question 1

Provisioning

Answer 1

We can deploy apps and everything necessary to support that based on location and need. The app will need all the supporting tools such as a web server, database server, middleware server, workstations configs, certificates, etc. We’ll need to make sure to set up security as necessary.

Question 2

Orchestration

Answer 2

Automation is the key to cloud computing. Services appear and disappear automatically at the push of a button. Instances can move around the world as necessary, “follow the sun”. When people are awake and working, the resources will be available to them and when they sleep the services can be deprovisioned so the resources are only being paid for when needed.

Question 3

Deprovisioning

Answer 3

Everything needs to be dismantled. Don’t leave open holes and don’t close important ones. All the firewall policies need to be reverted. Make sure not to leave data behind, you need a solution on what to do with it.
