Comprehensive Analysis of Cloud Computing for OSDS Architecture Report

This report evaluates the application of cloud computing to the DSI's Online Spatial Delivery System (OSDS). It begins by assessing the advantages and disadvantages of using Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS) for OSDS, considering scalability, cost-efficiency, and provider dependency. The report then explores a possible cloud computing architecture for OSDS, detailing components like hypervisors, management software, deployment software, and cloud storage. Furthermore, it investigates the benefits of edge computing for OSDS, focusing on security, speed, and reliability. The report also compares monolithic and microservice software architectures, evaluating their suitability for OSDS. It concludes with a recommendation for OSDS based on the analysis.
