 Disasters in Cloud

• A disaster is any type of unexpected event that

disrupts our business’s IT workloads
• A disaster could be caused by
1. Failure of a cloud provider’s hardware
2. A cyber attack that makes applications
unavailable
3. Accidental deletion of data by one of your
admins.

➢ Cloud computing management is maintaining and
controlling the cloud services and resources be it public,
private or hybrid
➢ Cloud is nowadays preferred by huge organizations as their
primary data storage.
➢ A small downtime or an error can cause a great deal of loss
and inconvenience for the organizations. So as to design,
handle and maintain a cloud computing service specific
members are responsible who make sure things work out as
supposed and all arising issues are addressed.
Cloud Management Tasks
Cloud Management Tasks
● Auditing System Backups –
It is required to audit the backups from time to time to ensure
restoration of randomly selected files of different users. This
might be done by the organization or by the cloud provider.
● Flow of data in the system –
The managers are responsible for designing a data flow diagram
that shows how the data is supposed to flow throughout the
organization.
● Vendor Lock-In –
The managers should know how to move their data from a
server to another in case the organization decides to switch
providers.
Cloud Management Tasks
● Knowing provider’s security procedures –
The managers should know the security plans of the provider,
especially Multitenant use, E-commerce processing, Employee
screening and Encryption policy.
● Monitoring the Capacity, Planning and Scaling abilities –
The manager should know if their current cloud provider is going
to meet their organization’s demand in the future and also their
scaling capabilities.
● Monitoring audit log –
In order to identify errors in the system, logs are audited by the
managers on a regular basis.
● Solution Testing and Validation –
It is necessary to test the cloud services and verify the results and
for error-free solutions.

 Economics of Cloud Computing

➢ Economics of Cloud Computing is based on the PAY AS YOU

GO method.
➢ Users/Customers must have to pay only for their way of the
usage of the cloud services.
➢ It is definitely beneficial for the users. So the Cloud is
economically very convenient for all.
➢ In the cloud, users can use software applications on a
subscription basis without any cost because the property of the
software providing service remains to the cloud provider.
➢ Economical background of the cloud is more useful for
developers in the following ways:
○ Pay as you go model offered by cloud providers.
○ Scalable and Simple.
 Economics of Cloud Computing

We observed three business archetypes, representing the

extent to which organizations use cloud to impact company
and industry value chains, and customer value propositions:
➢ Optimizers use cloud to incrementally enhance their
customer value propositions while improving their
organization’s efficiency
➢ Innovators significantly improve customer value through
cloud adoption, resulting in new revenue streams or even
changing their role within an existing industry ecosystem.
➢ Disruptors rely on cloud to create radically different
value propositions, as well as generate new
customerneeds and segments — and even new industry
value chains.
