Introduction
Cloud based services are being adopted by organizations for main purpose of cutting
operational costs. Microservices are also emerging owing to their unique features. In this
paper both of these topics will be discussed.
Answer to question 1:
When implementing multi-tenant database in situations where software is delivered as
a service some key issues are as follows:
a) Issue of inflexibility- Customers have no other option but to use same schema of database
and these cannot be customized according to their individual needs (Matthew, Buckley,
Garvey & Moreton, 2016). This relates to the target customers.
b) Complex nature- These are more complex as they involve a lot of users. This can be
related to the requirements of the transactions.
When implementing multi-instance database in situations where software is delivered
as a service some key issues are as follows:
a) Cost- Multi-instance database is expensive as this requires renting many virtual machines
in the cloud (Charfi, Trichili, Alimi & Solaiman, 2016). This relates to the target customers.
b) Managing updates- It is difficult to manage updates to the software as there are a lot of
instances to be updated. This relates to size of database and connectivity.
Answer to question 2:
Cost is an important factor as in case of software development and delivery system
operating system matters. The OS should provide for more competition with decreased costs.
Less retrofitting for bringing programs up to the desired speed so that cost can be decreased
because main aim to shift to cloud is cutting on costs.
