6. 10/6/2015B.Ramamurthy6 Take home questions: Q2 In order handle the massive load we had in out recent deployment of the Pop!World application Google App Engine (GAE), we deployed 20 instances of the application and gave the users the 20 links and let them choose their link that was available when they it ran out of quota. Design a front end (method) using GAE resources or others that will (i) hide the 20 instances or n instances and (ii) direct the user to the one of the unloaded app. (The policy could even be a simple round robin).
