What is CLOUD ?
1. The term Cloud refers to a Network or Internet. In other words, we can say that
Cloud is something, which is present at remote location.
2. Cloud can provide services over network, i.e., on public networks or on private
networks, i.e., WAN, LAN or VPN.
3. Applications such as e-mail, web conferencing, customer relationship
management (CRM),all run in cloud.

RISKS of CLOUD COMPUTING

1.SECURITY & PRIVACY

It is the biggest concern about cloud computing. Since data

management and infrastructure management in cloud is
provided by third-party, it is always a risk to handover the
sensitive information to such providers.
 Although the cloud computing vendors ensure more secure
password protected accounts, any sign of security breach would
result in loss of clients and businesses.

2. LOCK-IN

It is very difficult for the customers to switch from one Cloud
Service Provider (CSP) to another. It results in dependency on a
particular CSP for service. 9

RISKS of CLOUD COMPUTING

3. ISOLATION FAILURE

This risk involves the failure of isolation mechanism that separates

storage, memory, routing between the different tenants.

4. MANAGEMENT INTERFACE COMPROMISE

In case of public cloud provider, the customer management

interfaces are accessible through the Internet.

5. INSECURE OR INCOMPLETE DATA DELETION

It is possible that the data requested for deletion may not get
deleted. It happens either because extra copies of data are stored but
are not available or disk destroyed also stores data from other tenants.

CHARACTERISTICS
There are four key characteristics of cloud computing. They are shown in the
following diagram:

11
 Amity School of Engineering & Technology

CHARACTERISTICS
ON DEMAND SELF-SERVICE
Cloud Computing allows the users to use web services and resources on
demand. One can logon to a website at any time and use them.
BROAD NETWORK ACCESS
Since Cloud Computing is completely web based, it can be accessed from
anywhere and at any time.
RESOURCE POOLING
Cloud Computing allows multiple tenants to share a pool of resources. One
can share single physical instance of hardware, database and basic
infrastructure.
RAPID ELASTICITY
It is very easy to scale up or down the resources at any time. Resources
used by the customers or currently assigned to customers are automatically
monitored and resources. It make it possible

CLOUD COMPUTING ARCHITECTURE

1. The Cloud Computing
architecture comprises of
many cloud components,
each of them are loosely
coupled.

2. We can broadly divide the

cloud architecture into
two parts:
 Front End
 Back End

3. Each of the ends are

connected through a
network, usually via
Internet.

13
 Amity School of Engineering & Technology

CLOUD COMPUTING ARCHITECTURE

14
 Amity School of Engineering & Technology

CLOUD COMPUTING ARCHITECTURE

1. FRONT END : Front End refers to the client part of cloud computing system. It
consists of interfaces and applications that are required to access the cloud
computing platforms, e.g., Web Browser.

2. BACK END : Back End refers to the cloud itself. It consists of all the resources
required to provide cloud computing services. It comprises of huge data storage,
virtual machines, security mechanism, services, deployment models, servers, etc.

Important Points

It is the responsibility of the back end to provide built-in security mechanism,
traffic control and protocols.

The server employs certain protocols, known as middleware, helps the

connected devices to communicate with each other.

15
 BASIC CONCEPTS

There are certain services and models working behind the scene making the
cloud computing feasible and accessible to end users.

Following are the working models for cloud computing:

1.Deployment Models

2.Service Models

16
 Amity School of Engineering & Technology

DEPLOYMENT MODELS

1. Deployment models define the type of access to the cloud, i.e., how the
cloud is located?
2. Cloud can have any of the four types of access: Public ,Private, Hybrid
and Community.

17
 Amity School of Engineering & Technology

DEPLOYMENT MODELS

1. PUBLIC CLOUD :The Public Cloud allows systems and services to be easily
accessible to the general public. Public cloud may be less secure because of its
openness, e.g., e-mail.

2. PRIVATE CLOUD :The Private Cloud allows systems and services to be

accessible within an organization. It offers increased security because of its
private nature.

3. COMMUNITY CLOUD : The Community Cloud allows systems and services

to be accessible by group of organizations.

4. HYBRID CLOUD :The Hybrid Cloud is mixture of public and private cloud.
However, the critical activities are performed using private cloud while the
non-critical activities are performed using public cloud.

SERVICE MODELS

Service Models are the reference models on which the Cloud Computing is
based. These can be categorized into three basic service models as listed
below:
1.Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
2.Platform as a Service (PaaS)
3.Software as a Service (SaaS)

19
 Amity School of Engineering & Technology

SERVICE MODELS
1. There are many other service
models all of which can take
the form like XaaS, i.e.,
Anything as a Service.
2. This can be Network as a
Service, Business as a Service,
Identity as a Service, Database
as a Service or Strategy as a
Service.
3. The Infrastructure as a Service
(IaaS) is the most basic level of
service.
4. Each of the service models
make use of the underlying
service model, i.e., each
inherits the security and
management mechanism from
the underlying model, as
shown diagram 20
 Amity School of Engineering & Technology

SERVICE MODELS

1. INFRASTRUCTURE AS A SERVICE (IAAS) : IaaS provides

access to fundamental resources such as physical machines, virtual
machines, virtual storage, etc.
2. PLATFORM AS A SERVICE (PAAS) : PaaS provides the
runtime environment for applications, development & deployment
tools, etc.
3. SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE (SAAS) : SaaS model allows to use
software applications as a service to end users.

21
 Amity School of Engineering & Technology

CLOUD DELIVERY MODELS

1. There are three elementary cloud service delivery models which are denoted as
SPI MODEL.

2. The term SPI is an acronym that stands for Software, Platform and Infrastructure.

a) Software as a Service (SaaS)

b) Platform as a Service (PaaS)
c) Infrastructure as a Service model (IaaS)

22
 Amity School of Engineering & Technology

CLOUD DELIVERY MODELS

1. Software as a Service (SaaS)

a) In the Software as a Service (SaaS) model, the client can access the provider’s
infrastructure through an interface. Most commonly used interfaces are web
browsers.
b) In this model a single instance on the service provider’s end supports multiple
access instants on the client’s side.
c) SaaS is closely related to the application service provider (ASP) and on
demand computing software delivery models. The hosted application
management model of SaaS is similar to ASP, where the provider hosts the
customer’s software and delivers it to approved end users over the internet.
d) Organizations can integrate SaaS applications with other software using
application programming interfaces (APIs). For example, a business can write
its own software tools and use the SaaS provider's APIs to integrate those tools
with the SaaS offering.

23
 Amity School of Engineering & Technology

CLOUD DELIVERY MODELS

 Advantages : SaaS removes the need for organizations to install and run applications on their
own computers or in their own data centers. This eliminates the expense of hardware
acquisition, provisioning and maintenance, as well as software licensing, installation and
support. Other benefits of the SaaS model include:

a) Flexible payments: Rather than purchasing software to install, or additional hardware to

support it, customers subscribe to a SaaS offering. Generally, they pay for this service on
a monthly basis using a pay-as-you-go model.

b) Scalable usage: Cloud services like SaaS offer high vertical scalability, which gives
customers the option to access more, or fewer, services or features on-demand.

c) Automatic updates: Rather than purchasing new software, customers can rely on a
SaaS provider to automatically perform updates and patch management. This further
reduces the burden on in-house IT staff.

d) Accessibility and persistence: Since SaaS applications are delivered over the Internet,
users can access them from any Internet-enabled device and location.

24
 Amity School of Engineering & Technology

CLOUD DELIVERY MODELS

 Disadvantages :

a) SaaS also poses some potential disadvantages. Businesses must rely on

outside vendors to provide the software, keep that software up and running,
track and report accurate billing and facilitate a secure environment for the
business' data.

b) Issues can arise when providers experience service disruptions, impose

unwanted changes to service offerings, or experience a security breach, all of
which can have a profound effect on the customers' ability to use SaaS
offerings.

c) To proactively mitigate these issues, customers should understand their SaaS

provider's service-level agreement, and make sure it is enforced.

25
 Amity School of Engineering & Technology

CLOUD DELIVERY MODELS

2. Platform as a Service (PaaS)

a) In the platform as a service (PaaS), a development platform is offered as a service.

The platform enables clients to build their applications that run on the service
provider’s infrastructure.
b) The platform supports programming languages such as Python, Net and Java among
other support tools that enable the clients to create custom applications .
c) PaaS delivers a framework for
developers that they can build
upon and use to create customized
applications. All servers, storage,
and networking can be managed
by the enterprise or a third-party
provider while the developers
can maintain management of the
applications.

26
 Amity School of Engineering & Technology

CLOUD DELIVERY MODELS

 Advantages :
No matter the size of your company, using PaaS offers numerous advantages,
including:
a) Simple, cost-effective development and deployment of apps
b) Scalable
c) Highly available
d) Developers can customize apps without the headache of
maintaining the software
a) Significant reduction in the amount of coding needed
b) Automation of business policy
c) Easy migration to the hybrid model

27
 Amity School of Engineering & Technology

CLOUD DELIVERY MODELS

 Disadvantages:
a) Data security : Organizations can run their own apps and services using PaaS
solutions, but the data residing in third-party, vendor-controlled cloud servers
poses security risks and concerns.
b) Integrations: The complexity of connecting the data stored within an onsite
data center or off-premise cloud is increased, which may affect which apps
and services can be adopted with the PaaS offering.
c) Vendor lock-in: Business and technical requirements that drive decisions for
a specific PaaS solution may not apply in the future. If the vendor has not
provisioned convenient migration policies, switching to alternative PaaS
options may not be possible without affecting the business.
d) Runtime issues: In addition to limitations associated with specific apps and
services, PaaS solutions may not be optimized for the language and
frameworks of your choice.
e) Examples of PaaS : Popular examples of PaaS include AWS Elastic
Beanstalk, Windows Azure, Heroku, Force.com, Google App Engine, and
OpenShift.

CLOUD DELIVERY MODELS

3. Infrastructure as a Service Model (IaaS)

a) For the Infrastructure as a service model (IaaS), the service provider

provides basic computing abilities to the clients.
b) The client gains control of the storage, networks, and other computing
capabilities by renting the services from the provider.
c) Though the customer has control over the storage system and operating
system, they do not control the overall cloud infrastructure.
d) IaaS clients are responsible for managing aspects such as applications,
runtime, OSes, middleware, and data.
e) However, providers of the IaaS manage the servers, hard drives,
networking, virtualization, and storage.
f) Some providers even offer more services beyond the virtualization layer,
such as databases or message queuing.

29
 Amity School of Engineering & Technology

CLOUD DELIVERY MODELS

 Advantages: IaaS offers many advantages, including:

a) The most flexible cloud computing model

b) Easy to automate deployment of storage, networking, servers, and

processing power

c) Hardware purchases can be based on consumption

d) Clients retain complete control of their infrastructure

e) Resources can be purchased as-needed

f) Highly scalable

30
 Amity School of Engineering & Technology

CLOUD DELIVERY MODELS

 IaaS Limitations and Concerns

a) Security : While the customer is in control of the apps, data, middleware, and the
OS platform, security threats can still be sourced from the host or other virtual
machines (VMs).

b) Internal resources and training : Additional resources and training may be

required for the workforce to learn how to effectively manage the infrastructure.
Customers will be responsible for data security, backup, and business continuity.

c) Multi-tenant security: Since the hardware resources are dynamically allocated

across users as made available, the vendor is required to ensure that other customers
cannot access data deposited to storage assets by previous customers.

d) Examples of IaaS : Popular examples of IaaS include DigitalOcean, Linode,

Rackspace, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Cisco Metacloud, Microsoft Azure, and
Google Compute Engine (GCE).

SECURITY ISSUES CLOUD

COMPUTING
 Security issues experienced with software-as-a-service (SaaS)

a) Lack of visibility into what data is within cloud applications

b) Theft of data from a cloud application by malicious actor
c) Incomplete control over who can access sensitive data
d) Inability to monitor data in transit to and from cloud applications
e) Cloud applications being provisioned outside of IT visibility (e.g.,
shadow IT)
f) Lack of staff with the skills to manage security for cloud applications
g) Inability to prevent malicious insider theft or misuse of data
h) Advanced threats and attacks against the cloud application provider
i) Inability to assess the security of the cloud application provider’s
operations
j) Inability to maintain regulatory compliance

33
 Amity School of Engineering & Technology

SECURITY ISSUES CLOUD

COMPUTING
 Security issues experienced with infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS)

 Cloud workloads and accounts being created outside of IT visibility (e.g., shadow IT)
 Incomplete control over who can access sensitive data
 Theft of data hosted in cloud infrastructure by malicious actor
 Lack of staff with the skills to secure cloud infrastructure
 Lack of visibility into what data is in the cloud
 Inability to prevent malicious insider theft or misuse of data
 Lack of consistent security controls over multi-cloud and on-premises environments
 Advanced threats and attacks against cloud infrastructure
 Inability to monitor cloud workload systems and applications for vulnerabilities
 Lateral spread of an attack from one cloud workload to another

34
 Amity School of Engineering & Technology

SECURITY ISSUES CLOUD

COMPUTING
 Security issues experienced with platform-as-a-service (PaaS)

 Lack of interoperability: Diverse computational resources may lead to security

breaches if objects’ access to the resources cannot be handled in a standard way. This
may cause a set of resources to halt or a setting that is proven to be secure for a
specific resource to be a breach for another.
 Vulnerable hosts: Multi-tenancy has been studied since the earliest multi-user
operating systems. Today, the concept covers a wider perspective where the user
objects are spread over interconnected multi-user hosts.
 Vulnerable objects: The security of an object can be breached in one of the following
three ways in PaaS clouds. First, service provider may access any user object that
reside on its hosts. Second, users may mutually attack each other’s objects that are the
tenants of the same host. Finally, a third party may directly attack a user object.

35
 Amity School of Engineering & Technology

CLOUD COMPUTING RISKS & CHALLENGES

 Security issues : To ensure your organization’s privacy and security is intact, verify
the SaaS provider has secure user identity management, authentication, and access
control mechanisms in place.

 Cost management and containment : For the most part cloud computing can save
businesses money. In the cloud, an organization can easily ramp up its processing
capabilities without making large investments in new hardware. Businesses can
instead access extra processing through pay-as-you-go models from public cloud
providers.

 Lack of resources/expertise: Organizations are increasingly placing more workloads

in the cloud while cloud technologies continue to rapidly advance. Due to these
factors, organizations are having a tough time keeping up with the tools.

36
 Amity School of Engineering & Technology

CLOUD COMPUTING RISKS & CHALLENGES

 Governance/Control: To ensure your organization’s privacy and security is intact,
verify the SaaS provider has secure user identity management, authentication, and
access control mechanisms in place.

 Compliance : That is an issue for anyone using backup services or cloud storage.
Every time a company moves data from the internal storage to a cloud, it is faced with
being compliant with industry regulations and laws.

 Managing multiple clouds : The state of multi-cloud has grown exponentially in

recent years. Companies are shifting or combining public and private clouds and, as
mentioned earlier, tech giants like Alibaba and Amazon are leading the way.

 Performance : The next prominent challenges of moving to cloud computing expand

on this partnership. Nevertheless, this partnership often provides businesses with
innovative technologies they wouldn’t otherwise be able to access.

37
 Amity School of Engineering & Technology

CLOUD COMPUTING RISKS & CHALLENGES

 Building a private cloud : Creating an internal or private cloud will cause a
significant benefit: having all the data in-house. But IT managers and departments will
need to face building and gluing it all together by themselves, which can cause one of
the challenges of moving to cloud computing extremely difficult.

 Segmented usage and adoption : Instead, ad-hoc strategies sprouted, fueled by

several components. One of them was the speed of cloud adoption. Another one was
the staggered expiration of data center contracts/equipment, which led to intermittent
cloud migration. Finally, there also were individual development teams using the
public cloud for specific applications or projects.

 Migration : This is a process of moving an application to a cloud. An although

moving a new application is a straightforward process, when it comes to moving an
existing application to a cloud environment, many cloud challenges arise.

38
 Amity School of Engineering & Technology

CLOUD SERVICE DEVELOPMENT

a) Cloud application development services aim to provide assistance with developing,
migrating or otherwise working on applications in order to ensure that they run
capably on cloud platforms.

b) It can include services related to consulting, development, migration, integration or

testing. Cloud application development service vendors may help determine a choice
of cloud platform, for example, private, public or hybrid, or help a client figure out
how to move functionality from outdated legacy systems to the cloud.

c) Cloud application development services are often presented along with certain
benefits, such as reducing risk for IT implementation or decreasing time-to-market
for applications. Businesses continue to use a variety of cloud application
development services in order to "get online" with cloud applications that support
their core operations.

39
 Amity School of Engineering & Technology

DEPLOYMENT CHALLENGES
 Privacy and Security : Cloud architecture do not automatically grant security
compliance for the end-user data or apps on them, so apps written for cloud have to be
secure in their own terms. Some of the responsibility for this does fall to cloud
vendors. Cloud computing introduces another level of risks because essential services
are often outsourced to a third party, making it harder to maintain data integrity and
privacy.

 Client incomprehension : There are also too many misunderstandings about how
public and private cloud work together, misunderstandings about how easy it is to
move from one kind of infrastructure to another. A good way to combat this is to
prevent customers with real-world examples of what is possible and why so that they
can base their understanding on the actual working.
 Amity School of Engineering & Technology

DEPLOYMENT CHALLENGES
 Data Security : One of the major concerns associated with cloud computing is its
dependency on the cloud service provider. For uninterrupted and fast cloud service
you need to choose a vendor with proper infrastructure and technical expertise.

 Address growing integration complexities : Many applications have complex

integration needs to connect to applications on the cloud network, as well as to other
on-premises applications. These include integrating existing cloud services with
existing enterprise applications and data structures.

 Reliability and availability : Cloud service providers still lack the round-the-clock
service, this result in frequent outages. It is important to monitor the service being
provided using internal or third-party tools. It is vital to have plans to supervise usage,
performance and business dependency of these cloud services.

40
 Amity School of Engineering & Technology

DEPLOYMENT CHALLENGES
a) Performance and Bandwidth Cost : Businesses can save money on hardware but
they have to spend more for the bandwidth. This could be a low cost for small
applications but can be significantly high for the data-intensive applications.

b) Selecting the right cloud set-up : There are three types of cloud environments
available – private, public and hybrid. The secret of successful cloud
implementation lies in choosing the most appropriate cloud set-up. Big companies
feel safer with their vast data in private cloud environment, small enterprises often
benefit economically by hosting their services in public cloud.

c) Dependency on Service Providers : One of the major issues with cloud computing
is its dependency on the service provider. The companies providing cloud services
charge businesses for utilizing cloud computing services based on usage. Customers
typically subscribe to cloud services to avail their services.

CLOUD AND ON-PREMISES COMPUTING

 Cloud computing has recently gained popularity due to the grace of flexibility of
services and security measures.

 Before it, on-premise computing was the one reigning the kingdom due to its sheer
benefits of data authority and security.

 The critical difference on the surface between the two is the hosting they provide.

 In on-premise computing, to host the data, the company uses software installed on
company’s server behind its firewall, while with in-cloud computing the data is hosted
on a third party server.

 However, this is only the surface difference—the deeper we dig, the larger the
differences become.

41
 Amity School of Engineering & Technology

CLOUD AND ON-PREMISES COMPUTING

 Cost

 On-Premises: On-premise involves personal authority on both computing and the

data—they only are responsible for the maintenance and upgrading costs of the server
hardware, power consumption, and space. It’s relatively more expensive than cloud
computing.

 Cloud: On the other hand, cloud users need not pay the charges of keeping and
maintaining their server. Companies that opt for the cloud computing model need to
pay only for the resources that they consume. As a result, the costs go down
drastically.

41
 Amity School of Engineering & Technology

CLOUD AND ON-PREMISES COMPUTING

 Deployment

 On-Premises: As the name itself suggests, it’s an on-premises environment, in which

resources are deployed in-house on the local server of the company. This company is
solely responsible for maintaining, protecting and integrating the data on the server.

 Cloud: There are multiple forms of cloud computing, and therefore the deployment
also varies from type to type. However, the critical definitive of the cloud is that the
deployment of data takes place on a third party server. It has its advantages of
responsibility such as the transfer of security and extension space. The company will
have all the access to the cloud resources 24×7.

41
 Amity School of Engineering & Technology

CLOUD AND ON-PREMISES COMPUTING

 Security

 On-Premises: Extra sensitive data is preferred to be kept on-premise due to security

compliances. Some data cannot be shared to a third party, for example in banking or
governmental websites. In that scenario, the on-premise model serves the purpose
better. People have to stick to on-premise because they are either worried or have
security compliances to meet.

 Cloud: Although cloud data is encrypted and only the provider and the customer have
the key to that data, people tend to be skeptical over the security measures of cloud
computing. Over the years, the cloud has proved its brilliance and obtained many
security certificates, but still, the loss of authority over the data reduces the credibility
of their security claims.

41
 Amity School of Engineering & Technology

CLOUD AND ON-PREMISES COMPUTING

 Control

 On-Premises: As made clear before, in an on-premise model, the company keeps and
maintains all their data on their server and enjoys full control of what happens to it;
this has direct implications on superior control on their data as compared to cloud
computing. But, so might not be entirely accurate because the cloud gives full access
to the company’s data.

 Cloud: In a cloud computing environment, the ownership of data is not transparent.

As opposed to on-premise, cloud computing allows you to store data on a third party
server. Such a computing environment is popular among either those whose business
is very unpredictable or the ones that do not have privacy concerns.

41
 Amity School of Engineering & Technology

CLOUD AND ON-PREMISES COMPUTING

 Compliance

 On-Premises: Many companies have to meet compliance policy of the government

which tries to protect its citizen; this may involve data protection, data sharing limits,
authorship and so on. For companies that are subject to such regulations, the on-
premise model serves them better. The locally governed data is stored and processed
under the same roof.

 Cloud: Cloud solutions also follow specific compliance policies, but due to the
inherent nature of cloud computing (i.e., the third party server), some companies are
not allowed to choose cloud. For example, although the data is encrypted on the cloud,
the government never chooses the cloud because losing authority over their
information is direct annihilation of their compliance measures.

 Many factors differentiate cloud and on-premise computing. It’s not that one is better
or worse than the other, but instead that they have a different set of customers for
them.
