Evidence Check: Make the Deployment Decision

A class needs to analyze a medium-sized public dataset. Students have Chromebooks, the project contains no confidential records, and the school wants the workflow to remain reproducible next semester.

Your evidence

Create a deployment decision record comparing:

local Python/Jupyter;
a cloud notebook or managed data platform; and
a low-code/no-code platform.

Score each option for:

Choose one option, defend it, and name the condition that would make another option better.

Check your reasoning

Cloud is a deployment choice, not a synonym for “better.” State the tradeoff you are accepting.

Done when

Your choice follows the stated classroom constraints and you can name a realistic reason to choose differently.
