CLOUD

MANAGEMENT &

ITS ETHICAL

ISSUES

Gianne Nicole Juson

CLOUD TECHNOLOGY

• (^) offers a solution by allowing consolidation of servers, storage, and databases onto a shared infrastructure that is both software and hardware based.
• This is done in a way that is self-service, easily scalable and metered, providing access to servers and storage on demand.

ENTERPRISE MANAGER OFFERS THE

FOLLOWING BENEFITS.

• (^) Enabling Faster Deployment:

Designing the cloud infrastructure using

standardized components such as servers, CPUs,

storage, and networks, along with standardized

configurations and tools, facilitates a

streamlined, automated, and uncomplicated

deployment process.

ENTERPRISE MANAGER OFFERS THE

FOLLOWING BENEFITS.

• (^) Providing Resource Elasticity: The ability to adjust the capacity of a database in terms of storage size and computing power, gives applications the ability to adapt to the changing demands of business workloads..

• (^) Planning By using Enterprise Manager, it is possible to convert existing data centers into a cloud environment. To set up a cloud, it is important to first plan out the infrastructure needs, including the physical and virtual networks, storage arrays, and applications, etc.
• Setting Up the Cloud Enterprise Manager can be utilized to create models for Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS), and Middleware-as-a-Service (MWaaS) clouds. It is essential to choose the suitable Cloud Service Model that fits the requirements of your organization and users.

• Testing and Deploying a Service Once an application has been developed, it must be tested. Enterprise Manager offers a testing suite that enables users to test both modifications to the application and changes to the database. The testing tool provides the capability to replicate a production load and replay it in a test environment, making the results predictable. Enterprise Manager also provides a self-service application that allows end-users to launch a service.
• Monitoring and Managing the Cloud Enterprise Manager offers a variety of built-in monitoring and management capabilities that make up a comprehensive Cloud management system. For example, it enables grouping of targets for improved manageability. The Administration Group feature allows administrators to establish monitoring settings, compliance standards and cloud policies through templates and also to classify each target in multiple hierarchies, such as Line of Business and Lifecycle status. This allows the monitoring framework to handle thousands of servers, databases, and middleware targets in the Cloud.20XX PRESENTATION TITLE 8

ETHICAL ISSUES

• (^) Cloud computing allows users to access services on- demand and pay only for what they use, from anywhere in the world. However, this shift to cloud also raises multiple ethical concerns related to moving both services and data from local servers to external third-party data centers. The emergence of these ethical issues in cloud is influenced by various technological factors.
• (^) Among them, security, privacy, compliance and performance metrics have a greater impact on ethical issues.

PRIVACY AND SECURITY

• (^) When unauthorized access to sensitive data stored in the cloud is obtained - whether it be by a hacker, cloud provider or third party - it can be difficult to determine who and how that data is being misused, leading to a range of ethical concerns. To prevent such issues, privacy and security measures are crucial.
• (^) For instance, your account information may be accessed by your bank without any security breaches, but the information can be shared with third parties to inform them of your purchasing habits, resulting in a violation of privacy.

PERFORMANCE METRICS: :

• (^) The expected performance of provided services is outlined in a Service Level Agreement (SLA), which is part of the general terms and conditions, focusing on performance metrics. In case of a violation of SLA performance metrics, there is a penalty mechanism in place to compensate customers. Some of the SLA performance metrics are not strictly enforced, meaning that minor violations may not result in compensation.
• (^) For example, in the airline industry, if departure time is delayed by more than a certain number of hours (N hours), passengers are compensated, but if the delay is less than N hours, no compensation is made. If the airlines benefit from minor delays without penalty, it can be considered an ethical issue. As long as minor delays do not result in SLA violation compensation, customer rights are not respected, creating ethical concerns.

OTHER ETHICAL ISSUES IN THE CLOUD:

• (^) Environmental impacts:

In 2007, Gartner estimated that the Information and

Communication Technologies (ICT) industry was responsible for

approximately 2% of global carbon dioxide emissions. Even though

cloud data centers can afford to pay for their high energy

consumption, they should aim to reduce energy consumption and

use as much renewable energy as possible.

• (^) Terms and conditions:

T&C is a set of rules and obligations that serve as a legal agreement

between the cloud provider and customer, outlining the

responsibilities and rights of all parties involved. T&C not only

outlines expectations based on technological criteria, but also

includes conditions and penalties for any violations of these rules.
