N/A

• Deploy cloud solutions and resolve cloud integration issues.
• Design cloud services and capabilities using appropriate modelling techniques following agreed architectures, design standards, patterns and methodology.
• Identify and evaluate alternative design options and trade-offs.
• Create multiple design views to address the concerns of the different stakeholders of the architecture and to handle both functional and non-functional requirements.
• Model, simulate or prototype the behaviour of proposed cloud services to enable approval by stakeholders.
• Produce detailed service design specification to form the basis for the realisation of cloud-based service solutions.
• Review, verify and improve own designs against specifications.

• Develop plans to implement cloud solutions.
• Adopt and adapt appropriate cloud computing design methods, tools and techniques selecting appropriately from predictive (plan-driven) approaches or adaptive (iterative/agile) approaches, and ensure they are applied effectively.
• Design large or complex cloud-based service solutions.
• Undertake impact analysis on major design options and trade-off.
• Make recommendations and assess and manage associated risks.
• Review others’ cloud-based service designs to ensure selection of appropriate technology, efficient use of resources, and integration of multiple cloud providers and technology.
• Ensure that the cloud-based service design balances functional and non-functional requirements.
• Contribute to development of service design policies and standards and selection of architecture components and building blocks.
• Plan and direct migration of IT services from traditional infrastructure to cloud computing-based infrastructures and/or services.

• Develop organisational policies, standards, guidelines, and methods for cloud-based service design.
• Champion the importance and value of cloud-based design principles and the selection of appropriate service design life cycle models; whether predictive (plan-driven) approaches or more adaptive (iterative/agile) approaches.
• Drive adoption of and adherence to relevant policies, standards, strategies and architectures.
• Lead cloud-based service design activities for strategic, large and complex solution development programmes.
• Develop effective implementation and procurement strategies, consistent with specified requirements, architectures and constraints of performance and feasibility.
• Develop cloud-based service solutions requiring introduction of new technologies or new uses for existing technologies.
• Evaluate the suitability of cloud computing-based solutions for IT services considering policies, standards, cost-effectiveness, performance and corporate strategy.
