What an assessment for ICTCLD502 must cover

40 assessable components: 5 elements (22 performance criteria), 5 performance evidence and 9 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 4 foundation skills. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Identify high-availability requirements

1.1Determine reliability, recoverability and service levels required for application
1.2Determine cloud infrastructure according to business needs
1.3Identify level of shared security responsibility models according to business needs

2 Evaluate architecture availability

2.1Review architecture of traditional multi-tier web application in non-cloud environment and identify high availability requirements
2.2Identify any single points of failure
2.3Estimate recovery objectives for multi-tier web components and for overall architecture
2.4Determine components that must scale vertically and the potential impact on system availability
2.5Document architecture review findings according to business needs

3 Design cloud-based architecture for high availability

3.1Design equivalent architecture for high availability using cloud services
3.2Identify and remove single points of failure as required
3.3Estimate recovery objectives for each component and overall architecture
3.4Determine components that must scale vertically and the potential impact on system availability
3.5Document architecture design according to business needs

4 Implement cloud-based architecture for high availability

4.1Implement architecture design in cloud environment
4.2Demonstrate connectivity between resources at all tiers
4.3Monitor and measure availability of resources
4.4Simulate failures of component and confirm that infrastructure is fault tolerant
4.5Simulate resizing components likely to impact performance and measure availability impact
4.6Compare and document simulation findings according to documented design

5 Finalise cloud infrastructure

5.1Adjust and improve availability of architecture according to simulations as required
5.2Confirm, seek and respond to feedback with required personnel
5.3Obtain final sign off from required personnel

Performance evidence

design and implement at least one fault tolerant cloud infrastructure on a cloud platform resilient to networking, compute, storage, database and data centre failures
design and deploy automated infrastructure scaling for at least one business need
simulate failures of at least one component and demonstrate is fault tolerant
use cloud management console, software development kits or command line tools
define, monitor and record resource availability in cloud environment, including: • reliability • recoverability • service levels • scalability

Knowledge evidence

industry technology standards used in cloud computing solutions and services
current industry standard hardware and software products, their general features, capabilities and application, including storage technology
different cloud cost models as they relate to scalability of cloud infrastructure
definitions, functions, features and uses of different cloud infrastructure resources as they apply in cloud architecture to high availability, including: • fault tolerance and single points of failure • reliability as defined by mean time to failure (MTTF), to repair (MTTR) and between failures (MTBF) • recoverability as measured by recovery time (RTO) and recovery point (RPO) objectives • service level agreements (SLAs) • vertical and horizontal scalability
testing and debugging techniques, including techniques to avoid single point failures
tools and techniques to measure availability impact
features of cloud services, including differences between built-in fault tolerance and infrastructure designed for fault tolerance
purpose and features of load balancing and autoscaling as related to improve availability within cloud environment
techniques, methods and industry standard metrics used to monitor performance of cloud resources

Foundation skills

Oral communication: Uses listening and questioning techniques to articulate complex concepts and requirements using industry language for intended audience
Reading: Interprets complex technical and operational documentation to determine and confirm job requirements
Problem solving: Uses a mix of intuitive and formal processes to identify key information and issues, evaluates alternative strategies, anticipates consequences and considers implementation issues and contingencies Uses knowledge of context to address common problems in cloud computing applications and cloud-based environments
Self-management: Demonstrates a sophisticated knowledge of principles, concepts, language and practices associated with cloud computing and the digital world and uses them to troubleshoot and understand the uses and potential of new technology

Questions about assessing ICTCLD502

What does an assessment tool for ICTCLD502 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for ICTCLD502 needs to address all 40 unit components: 5 elements with 22 performance criteria, 5 performance evidence requirements, 9 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for ICTCLD502?

Auditori pulls the current release of ICTCLD502 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for ICTCLD502 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing ICTCLD502 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of ICTCLD502, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
