INTRODUCTION
TO CLOUD
COMPUTING

Cloud Computing
These are major issues in Cloud Computing:
1. Privacy
The user data can be accessed by the host company with or without permission. The service provider may
access the data that is on the cloud at any point in time. They could accidentally or deliberately alter or even
delete information.

2. Compliance

There are many regulations in places related to data and hosting. To obey with regulations the user may have
to adopt deployment modes that are expensive.

3. Security

Cloud-based services involve third-party for storage and security. Can one assume that a cloud-based
company will protect and secure one’s data if one is using their services at a very low or for free? They may
share users’ information with others. Security presents a real threat to the cloud.

4. Sustainability

This issue refers to minimizing the effect of cloud computing on the environment. Citing the server’s effects
on the environmental effects of cloud computing, in areas where climate favors natural cooling and renewable
electricity is readily available, the countries with favorable conditions, such as Finland, Sweden, and
Switzerland are trying to attract cloud computing data centers. But other than nature’s favors, would these
countries have enough technical infrastructure to sustain the high-end clouds?

5. Abuse
While providing cloud services, it should be ascertained that the client is not purchasing the services of cloud
computing for a immoral purpose. In 2009, a banking Trojan illegally used the popular Amazon service as a
command and control channel that issued software updates and malicious instructions to PCs that were
infected by the malware So the hosting companies and the servers should have proper measures to address
these issues.

6. Higher Cost
If you want to use cloud services uninterruptedly then you need to have a powerful network with higher
bandwidth than ordinary internet networks, and also if your organization is broad and large so ordinary
cloud service subscription won’t suit your organization. Otherwise, you might face hassle in utilizing an
ordinary cloud service while working on complex projects and applications. This is a major problem before
small organizations, that restricts them from diving into cloud technology for their business.

7. Recovery of lost data in contingency


Before subscribing any cloud service provider goes through all norms and documentations and check
whether their services match your requirements and sufficient well-maintained resource infrastructure
with proper upkeeping. Once you subscribed to the service you almost hand over your data into the hands of
a third party. If you are able to choose proper cloud service then in the future you don’t need to worry about
the recovery of lost data in any contingency.

8. Upkeeping(management) of Cloud:
Maintaining a cloud is a herculin task because a cloud architecture contains a large resources infrastructure
and other challenges and risks as well, user satisfaction, etc. As users usually pay for how much they have
consumed the resources. So, sometimes it becomes hard to decide how much should be charged in case the
user wants scalability and extend the services.

9. Lack of resources/skilled expertise:


One of the major issues that companies and enterprises are going through today is the lack of resources and
skilled employees. Every second organization is seeming interested or has already been moved to cloud
services. That’s why the workload in the cloud is increasing so the cloud service hosting companies need
continuous rapid advancement. Due to these factors, organizations are having a tough time keeping up to
date with the tools. As new tools and technologies are emerging every day so more skilled/trained employees
need to grow. These challenges can only be minimized through additional training of IT and development
staff.

10. Pay-per-use service charges
Cloud computing services are on-demand services a user can extend or compress the volume of the resource as
per needs. so you paid for how much you have consumed the resources. It is difficult to define a certain
pre-defined cost for a particular quantity of services. Such types of ups and downs and price variations make the
implementation of cloud computing very difficult and intricate. It is not easy for a firm’s owner to study consistent
demand and fluctuations with the seasons and various events. So it is hard to build a budget for a service that
could consume several months of the budget in a few days of heavy use.
