One of the requirements in my essay is scalability, so i decided to use a "Cloud Friendly" design. In this approach I had 2 questions:

1) Where and how can i represent the load balancer (and if i had to)?

2) When i take the SCJD i had a "choices.txt" where i put a better description of every choice i made. In this exam where can i describe that design decision?

Thanks!

Hello Julio

The load balancer will most likely be in your deployment diagram.

The submission requirements do not require a "choices.txt" or equivalent but having such file will help you personally preparing for part 3 essay questions IMHO. Remember these files will be in HTML not txt.

In fact I asked a similar question here earlier.

Yes!

I think they want to see diagrams so well constructed that they are able to explain themselves and in a way that a textual explanation will not be necessary.

O.o

As K Tsang said, you'll get a chance to justify some of your choices in part 3.

I did justify and explain a lot of them too in the assumptions file (better safe than sorry). This file is very important: if you're through when writing it, it'll probably save your behind when the examiner doesn't understand something in your diagrams and his finger is itching to grade you down
