Merits of Cloud computing

Cloud computing is rapidly becoming a significant part of the overall IT strategy and more and more organisations are dedicating a substantial part of their IT budget towards this trend. Cloud computing is here to stay and deliver the following benefits.
Mobilising the workforce
Cloud computing allows device-agnostic access to data and from any location. It breaks all kinds of barriers and helps employees to stay connected on the move.
Increased cost control
Cloud computing saves a lot of money by eliminating the need for upfront investment in infrastructure and software. The pay-as-you go model brings down operational costs and allows higher efficiency
Enhanced productivity
Cloud allows flexible provisioning of resources with the least impact on internal operations. Personnel tend to focus better and highly productive results can be obtained.
Reduced impact on the environment
With fewer data centers and shared resources, enterprises moving to the cloud earn the eco-friendly credentials easily.
Better agility

While embracing cloud technology, organisations can scale their resources up and down, avail automatic software updates; expand exponentially with zero upfront investment and without having to deal with miles of wires and heap loads of servers.
Common Applications in the Cloud
The last section provided a clear outline on the various business benefits of cloud computing. However, there exists certain data security and privacy issues while hosting applications on the cloud. Organisations are widely experimenting with different parts of the business that can yield favourable results without falling victim to these concerns.
The most suitable and common applications that can be hosted in the cloud are:
  1. Development and Testing
  2. Big Data Analysis
  3. Websites and CRMs
  4. Storage and Backup
  5. Disaster Recovery

The Seven-Step Model of Migration

Irrespective of the migration approach adopted, the Seven-step Model of Cloud Migration creates a more rational point of view towards the migration process and offers the ability to imbibe several best practices throughout the journey Step 1: Assess Cloud migration assessments are conducted to understand the complexities in the migration process at the code, design and architectural levels. The investment and the recurring costs are also evaluated along with gauging the tools, test cases, functionalities and other features related to the configuration. Step 2: Isolate The applications to be migrated to the cloud from the internal data center are freed of dependencies pertaining to the environment and the existing system. This step cuts a clearer picture about the complexity of the migration process. Step 3: Map Most organisations hold a detailed mapping of their environment with all the systems and applications. This information can be used to distinguish between the ...

Special Permissions in linux

The setuid permission on an executable file means that the command will run as the user owning the file, not as the user that ran the command. One example is the passwd command: [student@desktopX ~]$ ls -l /usr/bin/passwd -rw s r-xr-x. 1 root root 35504 Jul 16 2010 /usr/bin/passwd In a long listing, you can spot the setuid permissions by a lowercase s where you would normally expect the x (owner execute permissions) to be. If the owner does not have execute permissions, this will be replaced by an uppercase S . The special permission setgid on a directory means that files created in the directory will inherit their group ownership from the directory, rather than inheriting it from the creating user. This is commonly used on group collaborative directories to automatically change a file from the default private group to the shared group, or if files in a directory should be...
