Cloud Engineering • The process of designing the systems necessary to leverage the power and economics of cloud resources to solve business problems. • The application of engineering disciplines to cloud computing which brings a systematic approach to the high level concerns of commercialization, standardization and governance of cloud computing solutions. • Influences the methods and tools of engineering in envisioning, building up, operating and maintaining cloud computing systems and solutions. • http://www.gartner.com/it-glossary/cloud-engineering/ Accessed: August 25, 2013. • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_Engineering Accessed: August 25, 2013.
Cloud Technology Benefits • Achieve economies of scale • Reduce spending on technology infrastructure • Globalize your workforce on the cheap • Streamline processes • Reduce capital costs
Cloud Technology Benefits • Improve accessibility • Monitor projects more effectively • Less personnel training is needed • Minimize licensing new software • Improve flexibility
Cloud Issues on Software Engineering • Security • Privacy • Regulatory and legal issues • The negotiation of quality of service (QoS) between users and providers to establish Service Level Agreements(SLAs) • The mechanisms and algorithms for allocation of VM resources to meet SLAs, and • Manage risks associated with the violation of SLAs.
Recommendations • Use model-based approaches to capture different security views and link such views in a holistic cloud security model • Delivered mechanisms (such as elasticity engines) and APIs should provide flexible security interfaces • Support for multi-tenancy where each user can see only his security configurations, elasticity, to scale up and down based on the current context. • Support integration and coordination with other security controls at different layers to deliver integrated security. • Be adaptive to meet continuous environment changes and stakeholders needs.
