WEBB’S STORES & CLOUD COMPUTINGExecutive SummaryCloud solutions have completely changed the modes of accessing and utilizing IT resourcesthrough the services they offer. In essence, cloud-based solutions provide leased IT resourcesto users through internet connections where on-demand infrastructures are supported bydedicated service providers. In all, a user or subscriber having an internet connection can‘borrow’ any resources they require at a specified fee including components such as storageand computational facilities. Furthermore, because these resources are provided by a partydedicated to cloud solutions, they can be adequately adjusted to fit the need of the user atminimal expenditures. Therefore, a user in need of flexible storage facilities or databasesystems can regularly adjust them based on their immediate demands. Now, Webb’s Stores(a retail store) owns many business locations in Australia and New Zealand. Each one ofthese location requires access to the company’s information which necessitates the need fordata centres, the prevailing challenges for the enterprise where data replication has become aproblem. As a solution, Webb’s Stores aim to integrate cloud solutions into its operations toexpand the reach of its data centres and to improve its business expansion requirements. Thisreport highlights the key components of this endeavour.[Name] [Student No.]2

WEBB’S STORES & CLOUD COMPUTINGTask one: Database migration to IaaS instancea. IaaS security in public domainConsider the security risk imposed by the internet which is the support environment for thecloud computing resources. The IaaS infrastructure can be compromised using an array ofintrusion methods including interceptions, snooping and malware among many others.Therefore, the users of this service must implement several security measures to protect theacquired IaaS resource.System encryption: A security method that serves as the single most important resource forany publicly deployed resource. In this security feature, the data used by the enterprise isencrypted using certain protocols and access keys. These keys are integrated into theoperating system and provided to the members of the organizations (verified members)which protects the information being used. Furthermore, the channels of communication(networks) are also encrypted using specialized parameters such as VPNs (virtual privatenetworks) which boosts the security of the access environments [ CITATION Mog17 \l 1033 ].IaaS service isolation: The cloud resource will be accessed by different people within theleasing organization. These people will hold different roles within the organization and thuswill require different data and resources. Similarly, the IaaS instance should be isolated basedon a specified access policy. This policy would isolate the structure of the IaaS infrastructurethus enhance its accountability and management.Infrastructure assessment and management: These roles that would be accomplished byusing firewalls and intrusion detection systems. In essence, these security features wouldassess the data packets being transferred between the host organization and the IaaS instancethus filter out all the negative intrusions and content [ CITATION Wal15 \l 2057 ].[Name] [Student No.]4
