1. When selecting a cloud vendor to host your enterprise data and apps, you
need to evaluate the service level agreement (SLA).

a. Research the SLAs of two cloud vendors, such as Rackspace, Amazon,

or Google.

b. For the vendors you selected, what are the SLAs’ uptime percentages?
Expect them to be 99.9% or less.

c. Does each vendor count both scheduled downtime and planned

downtime toward the SLA uptime percentage?

d. Compare the SLAs in terms of two other criteria.

e. Decide which SLA is better based on your comparisons.

f. Report your results and explain your decision.

COMPARISONS RESULT
It’s pretty hard to decide which service is better. The decision is based on individual
preferences whether focuses on price or uptime. Finally in our opinion the Amazon cloud
slightly better than Google cloud because they can maintain the downtime better than
Google do.
2. Many organizations initiate data governance programs because
of pressing compliance issues that impact data usage. Organizations may
need data governance to be in compliance with one or more regulations,
such as the Gramm−Leach Bliley Act (GLB), HIPAA, Foreign Corrupt
Practices Act (FCPA), Sarbanes−Oxley Act, and several state and federal
privacy laws.

a. Research and select two U.S. regulations or privacy laws.

b. Describe how data governance would help an enterprise

comply with these regulations or laws.
A. 1. HIPAA

HIPAA requires researchers to use secure procedures for all

computer-based storage of Protected Health Information including
servers, laptops, handheld computers, and any other type of data
storage device. Security procedures should be standard practice
whenever conducting researches using databases that include
identifiers. The Privacy Rule also confers right on individuals with
respect to their PHI. Under the Privacy Rule, individuals have the
right to:
- Receive a notice of privacy practices from a health care provider or a
health plan that must, among other things, inform patiens of the
anticipated used and disclosures of their health information that may
be made without the patiens consent or authorization.
- See and obtain a copy of their own health information.
- Obtaining an accounting of certain disclosures that the covered
entity made of their PHI over the past 6 years.
A. 2. Sarbanes Oxley Act (SOX)

Sarbanex Oxley Act and its associated compliance requirements are

relatively new regulation in business world, coming into effect in
2002. The scandals that were the impectus for the law, such as Enron
saga, Worldcom, led law markers to develop strict rules that apply to
a wide variety of businesses both public and private.

B. Data governance verifies that data input in systems are accurate and
complete and that only authorized edits can be made and logged in the
system of the enterprise. More than that, data are the most valuable asset
of an enterprise, and the handling of data itself is a real risk. In order to
comply with regulations laws, data must be accurate, useful and trustful
to support the enterprise actions. Data governance also contributes to the
continous work needed to develop strategies to standardize records, keep
risk at a minimum and mantain compliance.
Related to HIPAA, Data Governance while complying with HIPAA helps
to protect against unauthorized access to patients’ private health
information. Data governance serves to clearly define personal health
information (PHI) and to set policies that safeguard health data and keep
it private. Information governance will help to draw out the many places
that provide store health data and develop system to protect it.
Related to SOX, Data Governance can provide major benefits in terms of
SOX compliance. A company on the same page in terms of SOX
compliance has much better prospects for success. Search Compliance
reported that projections indicate a need for 100 times the amount of
SOX-related data storage in 2020 as compared to 2009. IT Departments
will lead the change in implementing the beneficial technologies that aid
in SOX compliance and will play a role in policy development as well.
With that in mind, it’s easy to see how a data governance strategy
improves such efforts.

Five Tips for Developing a Multi-Cloud Strategy

IDC predicts 2021 to be the year of multi-cloud and expects that by 2022, more than
90% of enterprises worldwide will be relying on a mix of on-premises/dedicated
private clouds, multiple public clouds and legacy platforms to meet their
infrastructure needs. Despite its growing popularity, moving to a multi-cloud strategy
isn’t without complications and risks to consider. Ohad Maislish, CEO and co-founder
of self-service cloud orchestration and cost management company env0, outlines five
tips to consider when developing a solid multi-cloud strategy.

Source:
1. Understand which workloads and applications work best
with each provider
By picking and choosing which workloads take advantage of each provider’s
strengths, you can save both money and headaches. This process may also make IT
hiring easier since different industries and the use cases often have different provider
preferences.

2. Ensure access to experts for each cloud

Make sure you have people on your team who are experts in each of the providers that
you are planning on deploying, because each of the cloud providers offer different
services, different configurations and generally work differently.

Source:
3. Take advantage of the split for redundancy
One advantage of a multi-cloud setup is that you can use your footprint in one cloud
provider to make sure that everything is working correctly in another. One way is to
deploy essential applications into multiple providers and then split traffic between
them. Therefore, if one provider goes down, you’ll be able to failover all the traffic to
the other one.

4. Choose management solutions that work across clouds

While deploying different applications or using different underlying technical
frameworks for each cloud provider may be appealing, making sure your management
infrastructure works across all clouds can make it easier for your team to collaborate
on larger projects.

Source:
5. Look for transparency in cloud costs
Because each provider uses different pricing structures for different resources, it’s
important to understand exactly how much you’re spending for each of your
workloads.

three types of cloud products. Describe each of those
cloud solutions.

 WHAT WE LEARNED
Virtualization is the process using special software on a
physical machine to create virtual machine. This
special software called hypervisor.
A physical machine is a computer and it has CPU,
memory, hard disk and network connection.
In the context of virtualization, the physical computer
called the host.
A Virtual Machine is called a guest.
Important points about Virtual Machine:
1. Can create and rus as many as we like as long as
their host’s, CPU, RAM and other resources allow.
2. A VM is a little more than a file sitting on hard
drive. Acts no differently from a physical
machine.
3. A VM can be configure to use not only a different
operating system but also type of CPU than it
host.
 Two types of hypervisor
Hypervisor
Native (Bare Metal)
Run directly on top of the host’s
hardware.
Act just like operating systems.
Example: VMware, Xen
Virtual Machine Monitor
Hosted
Like an application program running
on top of the conventional operating
system, such as windows, linux, and
MacOS.
VM are created and managed by both
VMM through the host’s operating
system.
Example: VirtualBox, parallels
desktop for Mac.
 Advantages
1. Saving Money
We can place multiple virtual machine, servers or workstation on a single
power system.
Reduce device storage space and electrical power use substantially.
2. Simplified management
Don’t have to manage so many seperate device
3. Threat isolation
A problem with one guest doesn’t affect others
4. System backed up and recovery
Virtual machine are simply files, they can be copied and they can be restored
Disadvantages
1. Compromised peformance
Because the host and guests share limited resources
2. Increase Complexity
Managing virtual machine is more complex than managing physical
system
3. Risk
“Single point of failure”
4. Licesne Cost
