Tasks:

This assignment has three parts. Part A has a small reading task, and part B, part C have small programming tasks:
Part A. Read the following paper and write a summary (visit IEEE from libraries.dal.ca)

T. Salah, M. J. Zemerly, C. Y. Yeun, M. Al-Qutayri and Y. Al-Hammadi, "Performance comparison between container-based and VM-based services," 2017 20th Conference on Innovations in Clouds, Internet and Networks (ICIN), 2017, pp. 185-190, doi: 10.1109/ICIN.2017.7899408.

    • It can be approximately 1 page summary and must be written in your own words. The summary should include - (a) what the authors have presented in the paper,
        (b) if any specific issue is addressed, (c) if any experiments or studies performed,
(d) analysis or findings made by the authors.
Part A - Submission requirement: A pdf file with the summary
Part B. AWS S3 Storage experiment:
Using AWS Educate account, perform the following:
take screenshots at every step:

    a. Create a text file (empty file) in your computer and rename it with your “First Name”, E.g., “Alice.txt”.

    b. Explore AWS SDK for Java - and write a Java program using the SDK specification for creating a S3 bucket.

    c. Using another Java program or method, upload the file from your computer to the S3 bucket you created.

    d. Create a flowchart using draw.io/ word or any similar tool to show the steps that you have performed in this experiment.

Part B - Submission requirement: A pdf file with the (i) flowchart, (ii) a paragraph on your overall observation of the Java SDK, (iii) screenshots of the S3 buckets and operations (capture all steps) (iv) copy-paste the program script in the pdf. (In addition, submit the source in gitlab)

    b. Collection should contain name, place, properties, and/or size of the volcano.
    c. Write a Java program to update and add a new item in the Collection, which is

“last_eruption_period” for all the Super volcanoes (if no date or time period found, you can keep the field empty for that specific volcano)

Part C - Submission requirement: A pdf file with the (i) screenshots of the DynamoDb, (ii) also copy-paste program code in the pdf. (In addition, submit the source in gitlab), (iii) output – displays empty DynamoDb, data inserted DynamoDb, updated DynamoDb.
