Podcast Overview

Welcome to my Could Computing reflections. My name is Charles Roberts. For about the next 8 weeks, I’ll be uploading podcasts like this to reflect upon what I learned from other podcasts such as cloud cast and cloud cast basics. I will be covering what new topics I learned, how it challenges my initial thoughts or beliefs, and how it applies to my personal or professional life.

MCCR: Security in the cloud

My Cloud Computing Reflections Week 8: Security in the cloud Transcript: Welcome to my cloud computing reflections. My name is Charles Roberts. This is the eighth and final week where I listen to a new podcast and go over what new topics I learned, how it challenges my initial thoughts or beliefs, and how it applies to my personal or professional life. This week, I listened to episode 24 of cloud cast titled cloud passage, security in the cloud with special guest Rand Wagner. Wanger is the vice president of Cloud Passage, a security-based service to help monitor user accounts and protect user data from outside cyber threats. Wagner’s cloud security service has special features that make it stand out from the competition. Cloud Passage allows the admin to see exactly where one’s personal account was used if not by the owner. For example, if an unauthorized user from another country makes an online purchase via amazon account, then Cloud Passage alarms the admins. These cyber-attacks have been reported to cost tens of millions of dollars for enterprises (Maurer, 2020). Security is not a product; it is a way of thinking. Most people, including myself, perceive cloud security as setting up the right firewall. However, cloud architecture is constantly growing, and servers are constantly shifting. The key to security is to first address how scalable and elastic the business is or will be, and then you build a security measure around it. In other words, you build the castle before you build the moat. To close out this podcast, this cloud cast podcast gives helpful insight on how to keep the cloud secure for all users. As Wagner mentioned, the base functions of Cloud Passage are free for all users, which includes account monitoring. With an open-source cloud provider and a free cloud security service, it is now easier than ever to create a reliable cloud-based platform for personal or commercial use. That’s all for now, thanks to those who listened all the way through. until we meet again. Podcast out. References Maurer, T., & Hinck, G. (2020). Cloud Security.

MCCR: Enstratus

As a preface, I have had lost a close family member this week, and had little time to do research on the podcast. Apologies for the low quality this week. My Cloud Computing Reflections Week 7: Enstratus Transcript: Welcome to my cloud computing reflections. My name is Charles Roberts. This is the seventh week where I listen to a new podcast and go over what new topics I learned, how it challenges my initial thoughts or beliefs, and how it applies to my personal or professional life This week, I listened to episode 19 of the cloud cast titled who manages the cloud with special guest George Reese. Reese is the founder and CEO of enStratus, a cloud infrastructure service similar to other open source Saas such as openstack. In 2003, he split from his former company called ventura in order to form enstratus. He wanted this service to cater more towards IT departments where leading saas services are catered towards developers. I learned the variety of functions with enStratus. According to Reese, enStratus has automated features such as automated scaling and automated disaster recovery. I also learned how a CEO like Reese handles high availability and loss of data. According to reese, there two methods of resolving high availability. One way is providing redundancy to the virtual machine and the other is establishing designed to fail hardware. The ladder can run the risk of failure for certain regions. For Reese, this loss is acceptable because data stored in designed to fail hardware is never important to begin with. To close out this podcast, this cloud cast podcast gives thoughtful insight on the design choices for enstratus. Given the variety of saas services enstratus would be a great choice as an advanced alternative to many opensource services. Most companies would be comfortable with migrating to a free service and sticking with it for the far future. However, enstratus allows for automation in many areas which will reduce the need for maintenance and instead focus on monitoring the conditions of the virtual machine. The price of admission for enstratus may be worth it in the long run. That’s all for now, talk to you soon, and thank you. Podcast out.

MCCR: Platform as a Services

My Cloud Computing Reflections Week6: Platform as a Services Transcript: Welcome to my cloud computing reflections. My name is Charles Roberts. This is the sixth week where I listen to a new podcast and go over what new topics I learned, how it challenges my initial thoughts or beliefs, and how it applies to my personal or professional life This week, I listened to episode 76 of the cloud cast titled bringing depth to PaaS for real world deployments with special guest Sinclair Schuller. Schuller founded Apprenda, which is a platform as a service. Akin to RedHat and VMWare. Enterprises required their IT department to develop new applications for their clients and employees, but even after development, it would take an average of a month and a half to manage and test applications without virtualization. According to Schuller, Apprenda utilizes virtual machings to condense 90 days of testing in less than a week. On aspect I learned was the variety of PaaS services available. If Cloud computing was portrayed as building blocks, then PaaS it the sturdy middle that stores and protects all applications hosted on the platform (). The one Paas that has ever known and used was VMWare. I never got a chance to use Red Hat or Apprenda. One other aspect I learned was how JP Morgan’s department's function. According to Schuller, JP functions on siloed and are slow to transition to cloud services. JP had to make the decision to invest in train the IT department in new methods of providing virtualization for applications. This in turn builds JP’s IT department in something more like a service manager and provider. To close out this podcast, this cloud cast podcast helps bring light to what it is like to work in PaaS services. I was recently analyzing other companies who describe their company like the functions in Apprenda. By providing a cloud platform to enterprises, they can adopt a hybrid cloud and develop applications in a more efficeint manner. The only thing that would hold the enterprise back would be the education of not only the IT department, but also the administrations who approve the ideas of cloud applications. That’s all for now, talk to you soon, and thank you. Podcast out. References: Handler, S., Liu, L., & Herr, T. (2020). HOW DO PROVIDERS BUILD THE CLOUD.
