Understanding the Best Practices

Some of the best practices of cloud implementation are as follows:
Best Practice #1
Choose the right cloud service provider
With the checklist outlined in the first section of this chapter, making the right vendor choice becomes easy for any organisation. Assess their availability, performance and security measures well before you start working with them, and focus on crafting a foolproof SLA.
Best Practice #2
Adopt a phased-in approach
While moving to the cloud, organisations literally share their right of control over their data with the cloud vendors. While this may be a difficult decision to make, using the phased-in approach can reduce the mental stress caused due to physical relocation of data. In this approach, the organisation moves data to the cloud only in parts rather than putting the whole thing into the cloud.
Best Practice #3
Leverage the goodness of the cloud with creativity
Cloud offers an unprecedented level of flexibility and scalability to enterprises. IT managers and administrators must leverage the power of cloud creatively to derive the best benefits from the cloud investment.
Best Practice #4
Audit to ensure better security in the cloud
Regular assessment of problems, compliance of policies set earlier and identification of required upgrades must be performed to ensure the highest level of security for the cloud system. Audit tools are available to perform these functions and the right ones must be adopted by the organisation.
Best Practice #5
Keep data closer to lower latency and costs
Placing data as close as possible to the compute and processing resource reduces latency. Additionally, this practice also reduces the cost of shipping data as organisations pay for the bandwidth used in the cloud.

Cloud Computing architecture

Cloud computing architecture refers to all components and sub-components that together form the structure of the cloud computing system. This architecture can be divided into three parts for better understanding – front end, back end and middleware. Each part of the cloud architecture has its own set of functionalities and protocols that work together to deliver on-demand services to user-facing hardware as well as software. In general, the architecture is evolved out of large distributed network applications over the last two decades. Hence it supports any system where resources can be pooled and partitioned as required. The general cloud architecture is capable of running multiple software applications running on multiple virtual hardware in multiple locations to efficiently render on-demand services to the users. The users could be using these software applications from their desktop or laptop or mobile or tablets. Usually, whatever the user is looking at – through t...

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...

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...
