Introduction
The aim of the paper is to present information about some modern database technologies that
will help to implement a web database on an instance of a cloud computing platform. However,
the discussion has been extended to cover the security issues related to the database technology,
DBaaS or Database as a Service and some of the security measurements to maintain the database
application and to avoid any unexpected intrusion.
Cloud Database Implementation
DBaaS or Database as a Service is one of the rapidly growing database technologies being
delivered over the cloud computing platform. It is a component of the PaaS or Platform as a
Service cloud service delivery model. It provides improvements on the performance,
productivity, data security and standardization of the database (Quintero, Martins, Moya, &
Folco, 2018).
DBaaS software allows a user to manage, provision, configure, consume, and operate various
database software having a common set of primitives or abstractions. It does not need the users
to know about the exact implementation details of the primitives for any specific database
solution. For example, a DBaaS user want to provision a MySQL database to manage, operate
and configure. Then the user can perform the tasks with the help of the same interface that can be
used with Oracle and other databases. Users can request a cluster of the database anytime and by
any amount of storage. It does not require the user to know about the exact storage amount
needed to perform a task (Cuppett, 2016).
