2CLOUD INSTANCE IMPLEMENTATION FOR WEB DATABASE
Introduction
Cloud database typically runs on cloud computing platform that are connected through
network real-time communication. There are many application domains that use the relational
DBMS in the recent database technology and it has proved that the solution is effective for large
and small organization (Bhatti & Rad, 2017). For most of the information systems the recent
database technology has become the key component. The report gives an overview about the
implementation of cloud instance for web database. It contains information of the recent
development of the database technology. Along with the implementation of the cloud instance
for web database the finally research will be completed with the proper recommendation on
security issues.
Cloud Instance Implementation
In a large company, the databases can be combined into a single host (CDBMS). The
bandwidth and the storage capacity need to be paid for a per-use model (Banu & Kumaraswamy,
2018). The database can be move from one place to other. The recent technology of cloud
database are Rackspace Cloud Databases, Amazon Cloud Databases, Google Cloud SQL,
MongoLab, and Oracle Cloud (Kuznetsov, 2018).
Rackspace: The Rackspace cloud database built high and consistent storage network to
deliver faster application on OpenStack (Dimoulas, Veglis & Kalliris, 2014). The database is
provision with API or Control Panel that require deployment, patching and configuration. With
the implementation of Rackspace cloud database the data loss is minimize.

3CLOUD INSTANCE IMPLEMENTATION FOR WEB DATABASE
Amazon Cloud Database: The Amazon Cloud Database include cost-efficient and
resizable capacity to manage the time-consuming database administration tasks. The Amazon
RDS enables point-in-time DB instance recovery.
Google Cloud SQL: This web service allows the use of relational databases, create and
configure the Google’s cloud. The database service is fully-managed, maintains and
administered (Abellan, Derron & Jaboyedoff, 2016). Google provides the services of cloud were
business get operated by its own.
MongoLab: The database has to create and scale on major cloud provider that are on-
demand. Every database is redundantly archive replicate and backup. Experts continuously
monitor and manage the databases.
Oracle Cloud: It has self-service management that has provision instantaneous
environment. It has RESTful Web Services that access through SQL support.
Cloud Instance Merits and Demerits
Cloud database offer significant advantages which increase accessibility, fast automated
recovery and automatic fail-over (Fernandes et al., 2014).
Merit
 Browser based cloud storage has no requirement of installing a software and the web app
can be browse from anywhere.
 Businesses has cloud-native designed
 Assuring probability and open.

4CLOUD INSTANCE IMPLEMENTATION FOR WEB DATABASE
 Folder Sync Cloud Storage are very efficient, easy to use, and good for personal use to
access offline files.
 Contracts are flexible and have deep discounts
 Cloud Drive Mapping map the storage of cloud as a network drive. The cloud files could
get edit, support large enterprises, replace servers local file, central file storage and user
access control.
 Expertise of DevOps
 The Cloud Storage API or Infrastructure provide cloud storage for other service provider
of cloud.
Demerit
 In Browser-based Cloud Storage multiple files or folders cannot be uploaded or
downloaded. It directly cannot edit files having few browser based apps.
 IaaS market having late entrant
 Sync for many computers is very inefficient. It leak or hack the business data from a
computer or devices
 Services and features are fewer
 Cloud Drive Mapping requires an internet connection that are slower than the Folder
Sync.
 Worldwide data centers are fewer
 The Cloud Storage API or Infrastructure complicate the pricing model were end-user
cannot use it.

Recommendations on Security Issue
The cloud databases have security and privacy issues. It also has inability to access
critical data. The database technology commercially has application available for most of the
requirement were structured data is used for pre-defined data types. The structure data manages
well-defined transaction. It is recommended to have sound practice of security to mitigate the
risks that the customer and the provider face. A documented check-list has to provide and adopt
cloud services that assess the risk, obtain and reduce assurance from the cloud provider.
Conclusion
The report conclude that the future of database technology is suitable for re-
implementation of obsolete systems. The database server technology exiting for the new types of
applications. The research has a result whose impact is seen on the commercially available
technology of database server. Many of the organization have high-volume database
applications. The advantage and disadvantages, both has been discussed in the report. The report
has recommended the relevant option for sound practice of security and obtain a cloud services
for the cloud provider.
