Obstacles for cloud technology

Combining Different Services

The convergence of the three service delivery models - PaaS, IaaS and SaaS seems to be the future of Cloud Computing. By combining SaaS and PaaS delivery models, organisations can build applications efficiently and deploy them quickly to end users. When application developers become increasingly dependent on PaaS tools for building the software, they will ultimately want better control over the underlying infrastructure. Thus, upcoming cloud solutions will focus on satisfying the entire stack of organisational needs.

Obstacles for Cloud Technology-


  • Data security and privacy issues: Moving to the cloud means loss of control over applications and data to a third party provider; thus, issues related to security and privacy are inevitable.
  • Failed adherence to regulatory and compliance measures: Data in the cloud may be stored in a different location for better performance and to avoid localised outages. In such cases, apart from the industry-specific regulations, location-specific compliance measures must also be met.
  • Vendor lock-in: A robust SLA must be established to avoid too much dependence on the cloud service provider.
  • Lack of performance and uptime: Will your applications perform better in the cloud? Is your cloud service provider promising the maximum uptime? These issues must be addressed before moving to the cloud.
  • Network connectivity and bandwidth: Cloud Computing exerts additional pressure on the internet used by the organisation, and bandwidth requirements must be evaluated based on the services used.
  • Dependency on outside agency: The involvement of a third party into the internal operations of an enterprise may sometime cause psychological obstacles for CIOs and IT managers.
  • Knowledge and integration: Cloud migration process must be done through a well-structured procedure which will be explained in detail in the upcoming chapters. With Cloud Computing, the IT department must be prepared to embrace the changes in their roles and responsibilities.
  • • Long-term stability of the service provider: The financial stability of the cloud service provider is an important factor to be considered while choosing one.

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...
