Question And Answers

1. a) Discuss cloud computing fundamentals. 2M

ANS : Cloud computing is storing and accessing data and programs over the
Internet from a remote location or computer.
 For cloud computing, we need to access our data or programs over the
Internet however, with an online connection, cloud computing can be done
anywhere, anytime, and by any device.
 It is an Internet-based computing solution where shared resources are
provided like electricity distributed on the electrical grid.
 Computers in the cloud are configured to work together and the various
applications use the collective computing power as if they are running on a
single system.

b) Explain need of cloud computing to reduce organization costs. 3M

ANS : The need and use of cloud computing are convenience and reliability.
• The cloud also makes it much easier to share a file with friends, making
it possible to collaborate over the web.
• There is always a risk in internet that someone may try to gain access to
our personal data therefore it is important to choose and access attention
to privacy settings for the cloud service that we are using.

Efficiency

 Accessibility- Cloud computing facilitates the access of applications and

data from any location worldwide and from any device with an internet
connection.
 Cost savings- Cloud computing offers businesses with scalable
computing resources hence saving them on the cost of acquiring and
maintaining them. These resources are paid for on a pay-as-you-go basis
which means businesses pay only for the resources they use.
 Security- Cloud providers especially those offering private cloud services,
have strived to implement the best security standards and procedures in
order to protect client’s data saved in the cloud.
 Disaster recovery- Cloud computing offers the most efficient means for
backup and restore their data and applications in a fast and reliable way.

Flexibility
 Scalability- Cloud computing is the best option for businesses with
fluctuating workloads since cloud infrastructure scales depending on the
demands of the business.
 Tools selection- Cloud computing allows businesses to select specific
prebuilt tools and device support applications.
  Cloud options- Cloud computing offers private cloud, public cloud,
hybrid cloud and community cloud features. Organizations can choose
these options depending on what best serves their need.
 Control choices- Businesses can determine their level of control with
as-a-service options offered by the cloud provider. These options
include SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS.

Strategic edge
 Increased productivity- Cloud service providers acquire and manage
enabling businesses to focus on their core business operations.
 Automatic software updates- All the software applications that are
accessed through the cloud are usually up-to-date. This enables
businesses to access the latest features without having to maintain the
system themselves.
 Competitiveness- Businesses of organizations are compared to
competitors who devote their energies to acquiring and maintaining IT
resources.
 Increased collaboration- With the capabilities of cloud computing,
individuals from different places can collaborate in business projects
without necessarily having to meet.

c) Explain and illustrate anatomy of cloud computing. 10M

ANS : Cloud anatomy can be simply defined as the structure of the cloud.
cloud anatomy cannot be considered the same as
cloud architecture.
 It may not include any dependency on
which or over which the technology works,
whereas architecture wholly defines and
describes the technology over which it is
working, thus, anatomy can be considered
as a part of architecture.
1. Application: the upper layer is the
application layer. in this layer, any
applications are executed.
2. Platform: this component consists of platforms that are responsible
for the execution of the application. this platform is between the
infrastructure and the application.
3. Infrastructure: the infrastructure consists of resources over which
the other components work. this provides computational capability to
the user.
4. Virtualization: virtualization is the process of making logical
components of resources over the existing physical resources. the
logical components are isolated and independent, which form the
 infrastructure.
5. Physical hardware: the physical hardware is provided by server and
storage units.

2. a) How does scalability works in cloud computing. 2M

ANS: Cloud Scalability : Cloud scalability is used to handle the growing workload
where good performance is also needed to work efficiently with software or
applications. Scalability is commonly used where the persistent deployment of
resources is required to handle the workload statically.
 Example : Consider you are the owner of a company whose database size
was small in earlier days but as time passed your business does grow and
the size of your database also increases, so in this case you just need to
request your cloud service vendor to scale up your database capacity to
handle a heavy workload.
 It is totally different from what you have read above in Cloud Elasticity.
Scalability is used to fulfill the static needs while elasticity is used to fulfill
the dynamic need of the organization. Scalability is a similar kind of service
provided by the cloud where the customers have to pay-per-use. So, in
conclusion, we can say that Scalability is useful where the workload
remains high and increases statically.

b) Mention risks involved in cloud computing. 3M

ANS : The 8 most common risks businesses face with cloud computing are :
1. The impact on a business return on investment (ROI) : Migration to the
cloud might sound like the most cost effective option, but businesses
should carefully compare the costs of owning software and equipment with
the cost of "leasing" IT technologies. Parameters like speed, security, usage,
quality of service, scalability and support must be considered.
2. Compatibility : Migration to the cloud might pose problems of compatibility
with an existing IT infrastructure, or with a company security requirements
and organizational policies. Pre-planning is once again crucial in
considering all these aspects prior to committing to the change.
3. Trust : Not all providers are equal. Services through cloud computing may
be interrupted by unforeseen events. Outages from a service provider, for
example, can happen. Since providers are unable to guarantee no service
disruptions will occur, data may not be available 24/7.
4. Confidentiality : Probably the main concern, confidentiality is often
mentioned as the reason for not embracing cloud computing. If a company's
operations require the handling of sensitive data, the protection of these
data becomes a priority and a concern.
5. Compliance : There are risks involving non-compliance with existing
policies and contractual obligations related to the handled data or the
business operations. The legal implication of using an external IT provider
should be carefully reviewed.
6. Security : Not just confidentiality, but the entire structure should be
evaluated.
7. Lack of control over performance : There is always the risk that the
system quality may be inadequate or that a cloud service provider is unable
to provide quality services at all times. It should be clear what guarantees
the provider can offer in terms of systems performance and, especially, how
 prompt is its corrective action in case of a disruption of service. Not having
direct access to the infrastructure means that a business must rely on the
prompt action of the provider when something goes wrong.
8. Lack of control over quality : A business needs to trust the quality
standards that a provider can offer over time.

c) Demonstrate network connectivity in cloud computing. 10M

ANS :Cloud computing is a technique of resource sharing where servers, storage,
and other computing infrastructure in multiple locations are connected by
networks.
 In the cloud, when an application is submitted for its execution, needy
and suitable resources are allocated from this collection of resources; as
these resources are connected via the internet, the users get their
required results.
 Since cloud computing has various deployment options, we now consider
the important aspects related to the cloud deployment models and their
accessibility from the viewpoint of network connectivity.
Public Cloud Access
 Networking in this option, the connectivity is often through the internet,
though some cloud providers may be able to support virtual private
networks (vpns) for customers.
 Accessing public cloud services will always create issues related to
security, which in turn is related to performance. one of the possible
approaches toward the support of security is to promote connectivity
through encrypted tunnels, so that the information may be sent via
secure pipes on the internet.
Private Cloud Access
 Networking in the private cloud deployment model, since the cloud is
part of an organizational network, the technology and approaches are
local to the in-house network structure.
 This may include an internet vpn or vpn service from a network operator.
if the application access was properly done with an organizational
network connectivity in a precloud configuration transition to private
cloud computing will not affect the access performance.
Intracloud Networking for Public Cloud Services
 Another network connectivity consideration in cloud computing is
intracloud networking for public cloud services. here, the resources of
the cloud provider and thus the cloud service to the customer are based
on the resources that are geographically apart from each other but still
connected via the internet.
 Public cloud computing networks are internal to the service provider and
thus not visible to the user/customer; however, the security aspects of
connectivity and the access mechanisms of the resources are important.

Private Intracloud
  Networking the most complicated issue for networking and connectivity
in cloud computing is private intracloud networking.
 It depends on how much intracloud connectivity is associated with the
applications being executed in this environment. private intracloud
networking is usually supported over connectivity between the major
data center sites owned by the company.

Path for Internet Traffic

The traditional internet traffic through a limited set of internet gateways
poses performance and availability issues for end users who are using cloud-
based applications. it can be improved if a more widely distributed internet
gateway infrastructure and connectivity are being supported for accessing
applications, as they will provide lower-latency access to their cloud
applications. as the volume of traffic to cloud applications grows, the
percentage of the legacy network’s capacity in terms of traffic to regional
gateways increases.

3. a) Discuss advantages of cloud computing. 2M

ANS : Cloud computing has five essential features. They are
advantages of cloud computing.
1. Cost Savings
2. Security
3. Flexibility
4. Mobility
5. Insight
6. Increased Collaboration
7. Quality Control
8. Disaster Recovery
9. Loss Prevention
10. Automatic Software Updates
11. Competitive Edge
12. Sustainability

b) Explore desired features of cloud computing. 3M

ANS : Features of Cloud Computing are:
1. Self-service On-Demand : This is one of the most essential and significant
characteristics of cloud computing. This means that cloud computing enables
clients to regularly monitor the abilities, allotted network storage, and server
uptime. Therefore, it is one of the most fundamental features of cloud
computing that helps clients control various computing abilities as per their
requirements.
2. Resources Pooling : This is also a fundamental characteristic of cloud
computing. Pooling resources means that a cloud service provider can
distribute resources for more than one client and provide them with different
services according to their needs. Resource Pooling is a multi-client plan useful
for data storing, bandwidth services and data processing services. The provider
 administers the data stored in real-time without conflicting with the client’s
need for data.
3. Easy Maintenance : This is one of the best cloud characteristics. Cloud
servers are easy to maintain with low to almost zero downtime. Cloud
Computing powered resources undergo several updates frequently to optimise
their capabilities and potential. The updates are more viable with the devices
and perform quicker than the previous versions.
4. Economical : This kind of service is economical as it efficiently reduces IT
costs and data storage expenditure. Moreover, most cloud computing services
are free. Even if there are paid plans, it’s only to expand storage capacity, and
these costs are often very nominal. This is a massive advantage of using cloud
computing services.
5. Rapid Elasticity and Scalability : The best part of using cloud storage is that
it can easily handle all the workload and data load concerning storage.
Furthermore, as it is fully automated, businesses and organisations can save
heavily on manual labour and technical staffing as cloud services are elastic,
scalable and automated. This is one of the significant advantages of using
cloud services.
6. Efficient Reporting services : The best aspect of using cloud storage is that
even if it is fully automated and managed by bots, it has a speedy and prompt
reporting service in case of any error or hindrance. In addition, the back-end
cloud services team is pretty fast in addressing user reports, whether billing
issues or functionality.
7. Automation : Automation is a pivotal characteristic of cloud computing. Cloud
services can automatically configure, install and reboot to give optimum
functionality. It reduces manual effort and is very user friendly. How
commands are deployed through the cloud infrastructure requires no human
interference concerning sorting the stored data.
8. Security : One of The best features of cloud computing is that it’s secure.
Clients hardly face any threat of piracy or data breach concerning the content
uploaded overcloud. There is no threat of trojans or viruses damaging the
stored data. Even if the device happens to be infected, cloud data is safe from
such harm.
9. Huge Network Access : A significant part of cloud services is that it’s
ubiquitous. Clients need any device with an internet connection to access
cloud storage. In addition, the cloud service providers have ample access to the
network that makes it easy for them to administer all the data uploaded on the
Cloud through parameters like access time, latency, data output, and more.
10. Resilience : Resilience refers to the capability of the cloud service to recover
quickly from any disruption. It depends on the speed of the internet and cloud
database, servers and how quickly the network system recovers and reboots
any damage or harm. Resilience also means that there are no physical barriers
to accessibility. Clients can access cloud services remotely, making
geographical nexus no bar for cloud usage.
c) Demonstrate “cloud computing is a platform”. 10M
ANS : World Wide Web (WWW) can be considered as the operating system for all our
Internet-based applications.
• The basic meaning of the term platform is that it is the support on
which applications run or give results to the users.
• For example, Microsoft Windows is a platform. But, a platform does
not have to be an operating system. Java is a platform even though it
is not an operating system.
• Through cloud computing, the web is becoming a platform.

• The cloud offers quite a considerable amount of business agility, cost

improvements and service efficiencies to managers.
• The knowledge of objectives will give you an outline and align the
organization on the benefits that are expected.

Cloud Computing is a Platform- Need

 Cloud computing platforms offer a wide range of services.
 The types of service that these cloud computing platforms also
determine their type.
 Cloud computing is a scalable system, which made it adaptable to
specific conditions.
  Businesses in a wide range of sizes and industries have different
problems and needs.
 Cloud computing caters to these problems and needs by developing
various platforms.
 For instance, free cloud storage and paid storage service exist.
 The reason for this is to cloud computing could cater to small-scale
and large-scale usage receptively.
 This variety of solutions to various problems gave rise to the diverse
cloud computing platforms based on service models.

Cloud Computing is a Platform- Attributes

 A cloud computing platform can be assembled from a distributed set
of machines in different locations, connected to a single network or
hub service.
 It is possible to distinguish between two types of distributed clouds:
public-resource computing and volunteer cloud.
Public-resource computing—This type of distributed cloud results from an
expansive definition of cloud computing, because they are more akin to
distributed computing than cloud computing. Nonetheless, it is considered
a sub-class of cloud computing.
Volunteer cloud—Volunteer cloud computing is characterized as the
intersection of public-resource computing and cloud computing, where a
cloud computing infrastructure is built using volunteered resources. Many
challenges arise from this type of infrastructure, because of the volatility of
the resources used to build it and the dynamic environment it operates in.
It can also be called peer-to-peer clouds, or ad-hoc clouds.

4. a) Explain about cloud migration. 2M

ANS : Migrating Application to Cloud
 Cloud migration encompasses moving one or more enterprise
applications and their it environments from the traditional hosting
type to the cloud environment, either public, private, or hybrid.
 Cloud migration presents an opportunity to significantly reduce costs
incurred on applications.
 This activity comprises, of different phases like evaluation, migration
strategy, prototyping, provisioning, and testing.

b) Justify cloud application management. 3M

ANS : Managing the Cloud application
 Business companies are increasingly looking to move or build their
corporate applications on cloud platforms to improve agility or to
meet dynamic requirements that exist in the globalization of
 businesses and responsiveness to market demands.
 So, understanding the availability of an application requires
inspecting the infrastructure, the services it consumes, and the
upkeep of the application.
 The composite nature of cloud applications requires visibility into all
the services to determine the overall availability and uptime.

c) Show the paradigm construct of migrating application to cloud. 10M

ANS : Cloud migration encompasses moving one or more enterprise applications
and their it environments from the traditional hosting type to the cloud
environment, either public, private, or hybrid.
 Cloud migration presents an opportunity to significantly reduce costs
incurred on applications.
 This activity comprises, of different phases like evaluation, migration
strategy, prototyping, provisioning, and testing.

Phases of Cloud Migration

 Cloud migration activity comprises, of different phases like
evaluation, migration strategy, prototyping, provisioning, and testing.
1. Evaluation: Evaluation is carried out for all the components
like current infrastructure and application architecture,
environment in terms of compute, storage, monitoring, and
management, slas, operational processes, financial
considerations, risk, security, compliance, and licensing needs
are identified to build a business case for moving to the cloud.
2. Migration strategy: Based on the evaluation, a migration
strategy is drawn a hotplug strategy is used where the
applications and their data and interface dependencies are
isolated and these applications can be operationalized all at
once. a fusion strategy is used where the applications can be
partially migrated; but for a portion of it, there are
dependencies based on existing licenses, specialized server
requirements like mainframes, or extensive interconnections
with other applications.
3. Prototyping: Migration activity is preceded by a prototyping
activity to validate and ensure that a small portion of the
applications are tested on the cloud environment with test
data setup.
4. Provisioning: Premigration optimizations identified are
implemented. cloud servers are provisioned for all the
identified environments, necessary platform softwares and
applications are deployed, configurations are tuned to match
the new environment sizing, and databases and files are
 replicated. all internal and external integration points are
properly configured. web services, batch jobs, and operation
and management software are set up in the new environments.
5. Testing: Postmigration tests are conducted to ensure that
migration has been successful. Performance and load testing,
failure and recovery testing, and scale-out testing are
conducted against the expected traffic load and resource
utilization levels.

5. a) Describe security related migration risks. 2M

ANS : Security related migration risks are :
1. Not having a cloud migration strategy : One of the biggest risks of
cloud migration is attempting to make the move without a clear,
detailed cloud migration strategy. When making the move to the
cloud, an organization must make several important decisions
2. Complex existing architecture : In an on-prem environment, complex
architectures are workable. Intra-site network latency is relatively low,
so an organization can support a complex array of databases and
applications without significant performance impacts
3. Selecting the wrong cloud service provider (CSP) : When planning a
cloud migration, an organization should thoroughly research the
available options and ensure that their chosen cloud provider
implements their required functionality and can support any
necessary third-party solutions. Many organizations choose a multi-
cloud infrastructure that provides optimal environments for various
resources and use cases.
4. Long Migration Process : Many organizations’ IT environments have grown
up over several years within an on-prem environment. Applications and
infrastructure designed for on-prem deployment do not always translate well
to a cloud environment.
- As a result, an organization’s cloud migration process may be
extended as it works to re-architect systems and applications for
cloud environments. In general, a cloud migration can take a year
or more.
5. Data Breach : Throughout the cloud migration process, an
organization must ensure that data and applications are secure.
While a company may have a pre-migration and post-migration
security strategy, this is not enough to protect its resources.
6. Unexpected cloud costs or monthly sticker-shock : Making the move
to the cloud can dramatically decrease an organization’s
infrastructure costs. By outsourcing the management of an
organization’s underlying infrastructure to a third-party provider, an
organization can take advantage of the cost savings of its CSP’s
optimizations and economy of scale.

b) Demonstrate the concept of cloud migration strategy. 3M

ANS : Migrating to a cloud can be a good investment for our business. We might
be admiring where to start like several companies.
Gartner specified some options that are widely called "the six Rs of migration",
defined as follows:

1. Rehosting (lift-and-shift) : The most general path is rehosting (or lift-

and-shift), which implements as it sounds. It holds our application and
then drops it into our new hosting platform without changing the
architecture and code of the app.
2. Re-platforming : Re-platforming is called "lift-tinker-and-shift". It
includes making some cloud optimizations without modifying our app's
core architecture. It is the better strategy for enterprises that are not
ready for configuration and expansion, or those enterprises that wish to
improve trust inside the cloud.
3. Re-factoring : It means to rebuild our applications from leverage to
scratch cloud-native abilities. We could not perform serverless computing
or auto-scaling.
4. Re-purchasing : It means replacing our existing applications along with
a new SaaS-based and cloud-native platform (such as a homegrown CRM
using Salesforce). The complexity is losing the existing training and
code's familiarity with our team over a new platform. However, the profit
is ignoring the cost of the development.
5. Retiring : When we don't find an application useful and then simply
turn off these applications. The consequencing savings may boost our
business situation for application migration if we are accessible for
making the move.
6. Re-visiting : Re-visiting may be all or some of our applications must
reside in the house. For example, applications that have unique
sensitivity or handle internal processes to an enterprise. Don't be scared
for revisiting cloud computing at any later date. We must migrate only
what makes effects to the business.

c) Differentiate various cloud service providers based on their migration

strategies. 10M
ANS : The differences between various cloud service providers based on their
migration strategies are :
6. a) Explain challenges involved in cloud migration. 2M
ANS : Common cloud migration challenges involved are :
 Managing costs — Cloud can deliver cost savings, but determining the
cost of cloud can be tricky. Cloud expenses can be easy to
underestimate. Don’t just consider the costs of migrating but also the
cost of migration services, the potential need for increased bandwidth,
and future recurring expenses. (Proper planning and cloud cost
optimization help here big time.)
 Complexity — Public cloud is generally easier to manage, but it can get
complex (and fast if you start introducing hybrid cloud elements). Your
talent needs to be capable of managing your cloud and understand the
effort needed for a successful migration.
 Dependencies — Application dependencies get complicated real quick
and bring migrations to a screeching halt. Cloud provider discovery tools
can ensure you’ve got them all in sight.
 Legacy applications — Some applications are a nightmare to get to the
cloud. This is where evaluating why you’re moving what you’re moving
becomes crucial. Decide what you’ll keep as-is, what needs to be rebuilt,
and what might be worth repurchasing.
 Databases — Getting massive amounts of data to the cloud can take
time. To help, some providers offer options for physically copying your
data to provided hardware that you then ship off.
 Stakeholder support — You want leadership committed to the long
game when it comes to cloud. This is where forming a Cloud Center of
Excellence really pays off.
 Building cloud fluency — A central cloud team doesn’t scale. Cloud
fluency ensures your entire organization is on the same page, so you
don’t have a small pool of cloud pros overburdened as cloud translators.

b) Use of seven step migration model in cloud. 3M

ANS : Here are the 7 steps for successful cloud migration:

1. Developing a strategy : Start by defining a strategy. Define your goals

and create a realistic schedule to help you focus and limit your
possibilities. Determine which legacy apps should be kept on-premises or
decommissioned, estimate the resources required for cloud migration,
and develop tracking, governance, and billing strategies.
2. Assess your cloud options: Several cloud choices can be mixed to meet
your specific business needs. Retaining, retiring, rehosting, re-
platforming, and restructuring programs are some options. It’s critical to
determine which service framework provides the most expertise to help
you achieve your migration goals.
3. Pilot the chosen cloud option: Make sure to test the cloud option you
chose before jumping in with both feet. After you’ve reviewed and
analyzed your present environment and identified workload and
application dependencies, this is where you check the feasibility of
migrating your existing apps. It would be best if you also calculated your
total cost of ownership at this point.
4. Investigate the current cloud operational maturity: This comprises
people, processes, and technology evaluation. You need to figure out
 whether each application is ready to migrate and the appropriate
migration approach for each workload. Evaluate your specific business
drivers as well as cloud capacity.
5. Creating a cloud landing zone: Consider security, performance,
compliance, technical requirements, and the unique considerations for
each cloud provider, depending on whether you’re using AWS, Microsoft
Azure, or Google Cloud Platform.
6. Deploy a landing zone: To test the first application or group of
applications, create a landing zone. This procedure, which incorporates
best practices, verifies that the platform is functioning correctly and that
the application is functional and secure.
7. Migration: Cloud migration encompasses moving one or more enterprise
applications and their it environments from the traditional hosting type to the
cloud environment, either public, private, or hybrid.

c) Assess the need of “What/How/Where to migrate” in cloud computing.

10M
ANS : Cloud migration is the procedure of transferring applications, data,
and other types of business components to any cloud computing platform.
- There are several parts of cloud migration an organization can
perform. The most used model is the applications and data
transfer through an on-premises and local data center to any
public cloud.
- Organizations migrate to a cloud for various reasons, but, normally
when faced with many challenges of developing IT infrastructure
within the most secure and cost-effective way possible.
- Some of the needs of migrating to a cloud are as follows:

o Flexibility: No organization facilitating experiences a similar demand

level by a similar number of users every time. If our apps face
fluctuations in traffic, then cloud infrastructure permits us to scale down
and up to meet the demand. Hence, we can apply only those resources
we require.

o Scalability: The analytics grow as the organization grows with

databases, and other escalates workloads. The cloud facilitates the
ability to enhance existing infrastructure. Therefore, applications have
space to raise without impacting work.
 o Agility: The part of the development is remaining elastic enough for
responding to rapid modifications within the technology resources. Cloud
adoption offers this by decreasing the time drastically it takes for
procuring new storage and inventory.

o Productivity: Our cloud provider could handle the complexities of our

infrastructure so we can concentrate on productivity. Furthermore, the
remote accessibility and simplicity of most of the cloud solutions define
that our team can concentrate on what matters such as growing our
business.

o Security: The cloud facilitates security than various others data centers
by centrally storing data. Also, most of the cloud providers give some
built-in aspects including cross-enterprise visibility, periodic updates,
and security analytics.

o Profitability: The cloud pursues a pay-per-use technique. There is no

requirement to pay for extra charges or to invest continually in training
on, maintaining, making, and updating space for various physical
servers.

Process of Cloud Migration

 The process of cloud migration depends on migration goals, the

complexity, size of our current environment, and our business model.
 We transfer all services and apps at once or take the hybrid path of
keeping a few applications on-premise, most of the migrations pursue a
similar basic procedure as listed below:
1. Plan our migration : Cloud migration needs a solid planning
strategy to be successful. Get clear over our reasons for the
transfer and which of the migration strategy best helps them
before getting begun. Here is where we might apply cloud
migration resources and tools for supporting our migration plan
by:
- Giving complete visibility into our on-premise platform including
each system dependency.
- Assessing security, server, and performance requirements. Also,
examine what type of training our team will require.
2. Select our cloud environment : We are ready to select any cloud
provider that matches our requirements after evaluating our latest
application resource needs.
- The most popular environments include
i. Google Cloud Platform
ii. Microsoft Azure
iii. AWS (Amazon Web Services)
- All of these environments provide a lot of distinct cloud models for
adopting, whether it is multi-cloud, private cloud, hybrid cloud, or
public cloud. Price out, test, and build out a virtual workspace for
seeing how things appear in distribution.
3. Migrate our data and apps : We have three options for moving a
local data center to a public cloud such as online transfer with
either private network or public internet, or an offline transfer
(offline). Here, we upload data on an appliance for shipping to any
cloud provider. One of the best approaches relies on the type and
amount of data we are speed and moving on which to implement it.
