Impact and Dependencies

Dependency |
Description/Impact |
Contingency |
|
Resources |
The plan as scoped requires dedicated resources:
|
Resources booked as far as practical in ASTA. Contractor contract extension in place. |
|
Containerisation |
The proposed final infrastructure model is dependent on other projects demonstrating in Production environment that containerised infrastructure is robust, and that there is sufficient in-house knowledge and experience to support. Interim solution to continue development using static environment. |
uPortal5 can switch from static infrastructure, but with cost/delay to project. Those costs are being scoped. |
|
Change Freeze |
A change freeze is scheduled in September 2018. Current timescales mean that is unlikely to affect the project, as no production deployments scheduled. However, this will need reviewed in each project checkpoint. |

Infrastructure Containerisation Decision |
Recommended approach for uPortal5 is a containerised infrastructure. However, no containerised infrastructure currently maintained within UoE, and risk that it cannot be supported in Production. |
