4. Which services represents an environment where the computing architecture is providing a hosted service to a limited group inside a corporate firewall?
   
   

5. Is the budgeting and forecasting software hosted on premise by the authority, off premise by the supplier or delivered via the public cloud?
   
   

6. What type of IT inspection would be appropriate for a cloud environment in order to determine the security of the hosting environment?
   
   

7. Does your organization prefer for the provider to host the portal and other components of the solutions on the cloud and manage that?
   
   

8. What deployment options does your recommended solution offer, as on site, off site, hosted, web portal, and/or cloud based options?
   
   

9. Which tool can be used to compare the costs of running a web application in a traditional hosting environment to running it on AWS?
   
   

10. What level of assurance is being sought over the privacy controls which protect data hosted in or processed by cloud services?
