Small-scale startup with limited budget

  • The startup is a small company with a limited budget, so cost-efficiency is a key consideration in the infrastructure design and planning.
  • The startup’s primary focus is on developing and launching its MVP (minimum viable product) as quickly as possible.
  • The infrastructure design and planning should focus on the minimum set of resources required to launch the MVP, with an eye towards scalability for future growth.
  • In this scenario, the startup may opt for a cloud-based infrastructure, such as AWS or GCP, to take advantage of the cost-efficiency and scalability of these platforms.
  • Additionally, the startup may choose to use containerization and orchestration tools, such as Docker and Kubernetes, to simplify deployment and scaling.

Large enterprise with strict security and compliance requirements

  • The enterprise is a large organization with strict security and compliance requirements, so security and compliance must be a top priority in the infrastructure design and planning.
  • The enterprise has multiple departments, each with their own specific needs and requirements, so the infrastructure must be able to accommodate these diverse needs.
  • In this scenario, the enterprise may opt for a hybrid infrastructure, with a combination of on-premises and cloud-based resources.
  • The enterprise may also choose to use virtualization and software-defined networking to increase security and compliance, and to enable more granular control over the infrastructure.
  • Additionally, the enterprise may choose to implement advanced security measures, such as firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems, and multi-factor authentication.

Global e-commerce company with high-traffic website

  • The e-commerce company has a high-traffic website, so the infrastructure design and planning must focus on performance, scalability, and availability.
  • The company operates globally, so the infrastructure must be able to handle traffic from users all over the world.
  • In this scenario, the e-commerce company may opt for a global, multi-region infrastructure, with multiple data centers located in strategic locations around the world.
  • The company may also choose to use a content delivery network (CDN) to improve performance and reduce latency for users in different regions.
  • Additionally, the company may choose to use load balancers and auto-scaling to ensure that the infrastructure can handle high traffic and avoid downtime.
