SPOT Framework

The SPOT framework of cloud governance enables easy understanding of how cloud governance can be established in an organisation.

SPOT stands for-

S- Stakeholders and Scope

Like the SOA governance, cloud governance also demands stakeholder and decision authority enablement. For instance, who is held accountable for the deployment of cloud? Who makes decisions on the procurement of cloud solutions? The cloud governance committee must be formed with the participation of employees from different departments such as IT, compliance, legal, audit, the particular line of business and risk management.

P-Policies and Processes

The “Policies and Process” part of the framework refers to defining and mapping of each governance policy and process to its respective dimension in the cloud governance lifecycle management. Legal contracts, SLA management, architectural processes and fault alerts are some of the processes established through this component of the SPOT framework.

O – Organisations

Cloud governance is an expense and a massive task for any organisation. Determining the different bodies that can undertake various responsibilities of cloud governance is an easier approach to achieving better results. This includes:
The Executive Team that takes care of the end-to-end operations of the cloud.
The Operations Team takes responsibility of all routine cloud activities with special attention to resource management.
The Cloud Working Group is in charge of all activities such as cloud pilot and R&D established before the adoption of cloud.
The Consumer Stakeholder Board is responsible for all activities needed to steer the cloud adoption process. Examples include pricing, accounting and so on.

T – Technologies and Tools

The field of cloud governance has a vast range of proven techniques and tools that must be deployed during various stages of the governance lifecycle. Some of the common tools used by enterprises are cloud contract tools, cloud management and monitoring tools and cloud services portfolio.

TCP/IP protocol

TCP (Transmission Control Protocol):- TCP (Transmission Control  Protocol ) is a standard that defines how to establish and maintain a network conversation via which  application programs  can exchange data. TCP works with the Internet Protocol ( IP ), which defines how computers send  packet s of  data  to each other. Together, TCP and IP are the basic rules defining the Internet. TCP is defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force ( IETF ) in the Request for Comment ( RFC ) standards document number 793. TCP is a connection-oriented protocol, which means a connection is established and maintained until the application programs at each end have finished exchanging messages. It determines how to break application data into packets that  networks  can deliver, sends packets to and accepts packets from the network layer, manages  flow contro l ,  and—because it is meant to provide error-free data transmi...

What is technical analysis?

 Technical Analysis (also abbreviated as TA) is a popular technique that allows you to do just that. It not only helps you develop a point of view on a particular stock or index but also helps you define the trade keeping in mind the entry, exit and risk perspective.  Like all research techniques, Technical Analysis also comes with its own attributes, some of which can be highly complex. However, technology makes it easy to understand. Technical Analysis is a research technique to identify trading opportunities in market based on the actions of market participants. The actions of market participants can be visualized by means of a stock chart. Over time, patterns are formed within these charts and each pattern conveys a certain message. The job of a technical analyst is to identify these patterns and develop a point of view. Like any research technique, technical analysis stands on a bunch of assumptions. As a practitioner of technical analysis, you need to trade the markets k...

connection oriented

connection-oriented:- connection-oriented  describes a means of transmitting data in which the devices at the end points use a preliminary  protocol  to establish an end-to-end connection before any data is sent. Connection-oriented protocol service is sometimes called a "reliable" network service, because it guarantees that data will arrive in the proper sequence. Transmission Control Protocol ( TCP ) is a connection-oriented protocol. For connection-oriented communications, each end point must be able to transmit so that it can communicate. The alternative to connection-oriented transmission is the  connection-less  approach, in which data is sent from one end point to another without prior arrangement. Connection-less protocols are usually described as  stateless  because the end points have no protocol-defined way to remember where they are in a "conversation" of message exchanges. Because they can keep track of a conversation, connection-or...
