The Board also expects to achieve significant savings by migrating to a Cloud based ICT infrastructure. They appreciate that this would entail retraining for:
• Their existing ICT staff so that they can manage the new Cloud based infrastructure, • Their development staff so that they can start to develop using a Microservices model.
DSI has again approached you to advise them on this strategy. You have previously advised DTGOV that this strategic approach will mean that they will need to ultimately design and operate under a multi-cloud methodology, where parts of their data and services are located on and served from one public cloud, while other data and services are located on and served from a different public cloud. DSI also plan to run a Risk and Security Workshop to assess the risks, security issues and possible methods of control that will be required with this Multi Cloud and Microservices approach. You will be required to organise, run and facilitate this workshop.

By limiting yourself to a particular business (and their competition) it will make your report far easier to complete!
Hope this is helpful
