Activity 4

 

Using Lucid Chart create a diagram that demonstrates a Cloud-based distributed architecture for an imaginary company of your choice. Include the following multi-tier elements in your drawing:

• Distributed Application servers
• Client computers
• The Internet
• Web servers
• Database servers

Your diagram should be 1 page, containing these elements. Assume that a user with a client computer needs to obtain information stored on distributed database servers via the cloud. Make any assumptions you like. Provide a short (1-2 paragraphs) narrative that details the data flow in your cloud solution.

There is no single right or wrong modeling approach for this. The goal is to communicate clearly the flow and components involved in your architecture. Some examples of different approaches to such a diagram:

• Sample Architecture Diagram 1
• Sample Architecture Diagram 2
• Sample Architecture Diagram 3
• Sample Architecture Diagram 4
• Sample Architecture Diagram 5
