➢ Executing the reactive routine/s
➢ Reporting
Dynamic Failure Detection and Recovery Architecture allows the implementation of an
automated recovery policy consisting of predefined steps and may involve actions such as:
➢ Running a script
➢ Sending a message
➢ Restarting services
Following are the steps in Bare-Metal Provisioning Architecture:
➢ Consumer connects to central software through self-service portal.
➢ The available servers are shown.
➢ The consumer choses the server and the OS to be installed.
➢ The resource management system is used to install the required chosen OS.
➢ The consumer starts using the provisioned server.
Following are the steps in Rapid Provisioning Architecture:
➢ A consumer chooses a VM package through self-service portal and submits the
provisioning request.
➢ The centralized provisioning module selects an available VM and initiates it through a
suitable template.
➢ Upon initiation, the baseline/s templates are applied.
➢ The VM is ready to use now.
[ Cloud Consumer’s Perspective ] The administrative rights of the IaaS consumer includes,
controlling of:
➢ Life cycle of VM (powering-On/Off and restarting)
➢ Cloud storage attachment
➢ Basic software installations (OS and pre-installed software)
➢ Passwords and credentials
➢ Costs
[ Cloud Consumer’s Perspective ] Typically, a PaaS consumer receives the following:
➢ Cloud emulation environment
➢ Class libraries
➢ Software libraries
➢ Frameworks
➢ Databases
[ Cloud Consumer’s Perspective ] The administrative rights of the PaaS consumer includes,
controlling of:
➢ Cloud storage device selection
➢ Choosing the tools in case of ready-made environment
➢ Deployment of automated scaling listener, load balancer and replication etc.
➢ Login management of service/s developed/deployed using PaaS instance
➢ IT-resource usage cost
[ Cloud Consumer’s Perspective ] A few runtime configurations can be controlled by SaaS
consumers. These include:
➢ Security related configurations
➢ SLA monitoring
➢ Usage cost control
Inter-Cloud providers are of two types:
➢ With extra resources
➢ With resource shortage
Business Cost Metrics:
➢ Upfront Costs
➢ On-going Costs
Cost management can take place across the lifecycle phases of Cloud services. These phases
may include:
➢ Design & Development
➢ Deployment
➢ Service Contracting
➢ Provisioning & Decommissioning
The cost templates used by the providers depend upon:
➢ Market competition
➢ Overhead occurred during design, deployment and operations of the service
➢ Cost reduction considerations through increased sharing of IT resources
A pricing model for Cloud services can be composed of:
➢ Fixed and variable rates definitions
➢ Negotiations by consumers
➢ Cost customization possibilities
➢ Discount offerings
➢ Payment options
Two common metrics related to service measuring resiliency are as follows:
➢ Mean-Time System Recovery (MTSR) Metric
➢ Mean-Time to Switchover (MTSO) Metric

➢ Persistent trust (long term)
Five primary functions of Cryptography:
➢ Privacy
➢ Integrity
➢ Authentication
➢ Non-repudiation (A mechanism to prove the originality of the sender)
➢ Exchange of crypto keys which are the strings of bits used to change the format of the
data
Remedies for Denial of Service (DoS) attacks:
➢ Contact ISP to clarify the reason of downgraded network performance
➢ ISP can help in throttling malicious traffic
➢ Using DoS detection tools
Some prominent security protocols for wireless security are:
➢ Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)

➢ Malicious intermediary
➢ Overlapping trust boundaries
There are two basic types of encryption:
➢ Symmetric Encryption
➢ Asymmetric Encryption
Identity and Access Management (IAM) Consist of four main components:
➢ Authentication (verifies user identities)
➢ Authorization (grants access to specific resources based on user roles and permissions)
➢ User management (creates, updates, and deletes accounts as needed)
➢ Credential management
Several factors affect the Cloud reliability:
➢ Network Dependence
➢ Safety-Critical Processing
