CLOUD COMPUTING
Introduction
Cloud computing is among the main technology of this time and has a great role in improving
the working of the IT sectors. In order to cope up with the demand of market, every organization
needs to transfer their system to cloud system for enhancement of work. The report aims at discuss a
plan that will help the Meta Soft limited in managing the risk associated with their organization. The
report will describe the best architecture for the organization so that they can adopt hybrid cloud
computing in their system. The benefits and the issues that will arise with the implementation of these
technology is also going to be discussed in this report. The report will assess all the risks that are
associated with the hybrid loud and Microservices. The systems involved within the information
security will also be described in these report.
Suitable architecture for the Hybrid Cloud
MetaSoft Ltd needs to adopt an architecture that will help in meeting the board’s strategy of
transferring the system to hybrid cloud. The best architecture that will suitable for the organization is
to develop Amazon web service within the organization. AWS will turn to be very much beneficial
for the organization. The main concern that arises with the implementation of the hybrid cloud is the
importance and the need of hardware and software (Luna ET AL., 2017). These becomes very much
necessary to choose an appropriate cloud provider who will help the organization in utilizing the
service to its fullest. The benefits offered by the AWS architecture are:
Security: The security provided by the AWS is much more than the other architectures. The data
stored within this architecture is very much secured. The data gets encrypted and thus provides better
security. It also prevents unauthorized persons from accessing the documents.
Complete control: the AWS architecture provides full control towards the organization. The
organization is allowed to directly root the access and can made interaction with the whole system.

Access: the data stored within the AWS can be accessed at any time. These means that data is
accessible to all the authorized members at any time of they want. This is the major advantage of
adopting AWS architecture within the organization (Niu et al., 2015). In addition to this the data
retrieval is also easier with his architecture.
Risk associated with implementation of Hybrid Cloud and Microservices
There are several types of risk associated with the concept of hybrid cloud and
implementation of micro services (Laudon & Laudon, 2016). This section of the report will discuss
the risk that are associated with the implementation of this technology in the form of tabular columns.
Microservicee strategy Hybrid cloud
Security Provides Cloud Security
Data is kept in a synchronized way. Loss of overall control of the data
Compliance Discovery
Testing Data is managed in a proper way.
Provides proper Monitoring Latency and bandwidth
Data mustiness Failure and disaster recovery is possible
Logging and debugging Architecture design of the IT
The different types of risk factors that are associated with the implemenat5ion of hybrid cloud
computing are as follows:
