Task Summary
This is a group assessment, in which you need to prepare and deliver a 10-minute presentation. Your
presentation should include a summary of a key concept that you learned in Microservices, Cloud
Computing, or Web-Based Information Systems. Please note that you only need to select one area.
Then, you need to provide analytical discussion on its pros and cons and the types of business needs
that can be addressed using the aspect of the technology that you have chosen. This assessment
includes peer evaluation as well, so please find the Peer Evaluation form in the resource of the
Assessment 4 and complete it.
Context
In Modules 1-6, you have learned about a wide range of techniques, methods and best practices
elated to the application of three emerging technologies: microservices, cloud computing, and web-
ased Information Systems. In Assessment 2 you demonstrated your skill in understanding the
concepts of these technologies and how to apply them to a simplified, real-world case study. Now that
we are about to finish this subject, it is time to collectively articulate your mastery in one of these
areas to stakeholders. This assessment allows you to demonstrate your skills in identifying, exploring,
and analysing one of the key elements of the three technologies. You will also discuss your perspective

presentation.
Task Instructions
In this assessment, you are required to form groups of two to four students and to present a topic
egarding microservice architecture, cloud computing, or web-based Information Systems in class or
via video (Online students). The topics from which you can choose are listed in Step 2 of the table
elow. Remember that you are preparing this presentation for business stakeholders, so your content
must be developed and articulated clearly and with minimum technical language. Your purpose is to
communicate your analytical perspective of a concept and highlight what sort of organisational
problems can be addressed with it. Make sure to provide a real-world example of a company using
the key element explored or a company that could benefit from the key element explored.
There are a few main steps that you have to undertake to complete and submit this assessment as
follows:
Step 1 Form a group and register it:
You are allowed to form a group of 2 to 4 students. Please note that your group
structure might be changed by your Learning Facilitator
You have to register your group with your Learning Facilitator via email before
11:45pm AEST/AEDT on the Friday of Module 5.1 (Week 9). There is no penalty if
you miss the deadline, but you might lose the freedom to form a group on your
own. The Learning Facilitator will assign you into a group.
Not everyone in the group will get the same mark. Marks will vary depending on
the peer evaluation form submitted by each group member.
Step 2 Pick a topic from the following list and confirm it with your learning facilitator:
Service modelling or cloud services
Service-oriented architecture
Web-based Information Systems
SaaS, PaaS, IaaS cloud services
Security in microservices or cloud services
Splitting the Monolith to Microservices
Deployment of microservices or cloud services
Testing in microservices or cloud services
Microservice or cloud providers
You may also present any other topics related to microservice, cloud computing, or web-
ased information systems as long as your Learning Facilitator approves it. If you prefer
your own topic, please make sure that the topic must not be too
oad and general.
Step 3 Prepare a presentation in with your group members. Your presentation should contain
at least the following sections.
• A tittle page includes students name, ID, and presentation title
• Introduction
MIS203_Assessment_4_Brief_Group Presentation & Peer Evaluation_Module Due 6.1 Page 3 of 6
• Body (this can be changed to specific names depending on the content: analysis,
organisational needs, etc.)
• Conclusion
• References (please ensure to use APA standard)
For instance, if you choose SaaS, PaaS, IaaS cloud services, you may provide some slides
on the definition and application of these services. Then, you compare them in an
analytical manner by highlighting their pros and cons. Finally, you discuss the type of
organisational needs that they can address.
Step 4 Complete the peer evaluation form. You can download the form from beneath this
