Any suggestions for Part III. Thanks.

I recall it asked how my solution would scale, how security is handled, whether I used CMP or BMP and why. Other than scaling, the others weren't reflected in my diagrams because I assumed they were more design and implementation details. If I had known they were going to ask these questions, I think I would have known more of what they are looking for in the assignment. I don't know why it is such a big secret. I wrestled with a lot of different considerations that I think are important in the real world, but ultimately my decision to include or exclude them was based on what I figured the assessors are looking for, not what a complete and good architecture would have.
So part III was really tough for me. For a couple of questions I had to answer that I hadn't addressed the issues in the diagrams. I did list a number of assumptions in my assignment about things I didn't address and why. That may have made the difference. At least they knew I had thought about them.
