Software as a service (SaaS) is a new software development and deployment paradigm over the cloud. It offers Information Technology services dynamically as “on-demand” basis. The related application data are stored in the data centers managed by the Cloud Service Providers. Many enterprises are facing a major research challenge due to the unavailability of generic cloud architecture for designing, developing and deploying of cloud services. In this paper a flexible architecture for SaaS has been proposed, specifically for data centric cloud applications which may have access to heterogeneous types of databases. The architecture is composed of several layers, which are interacting with each other through the dynamically selected access points of the corresponding layers interfaces. The paper also enlisted the crucial features for SaaS architectural model. Moreover, a detailed comparative study has been done among the proposed SaaS architectural framework and other existing similar proposals based on the listed features.

The increase in the amount of data generated on a daily basis coupled with the need to store and manage this data has encouraged the organizations to adopt cloud computing. In order to ensure better availability and reliability of their data as well as resources, most of the organizations make use of one or more cloud service providers .But the use of cloud resources puts forth some challenges as well. One of the challenges is its detailed monitoring. As the number of services utilized by the cloud consumers goes on increasing, the number of logs and metrics generated by them also scales rapidly.The dynamic nature of cloud infrastructure and the variety of services offered by several cloud vendors demands a sophisticated mechanism to calculate and analyze the cost of using different services. The billing reports by the cloud service providers deliver statistics about the usage of resources and the costs associated with them. It contains large amount of data which needs to be processed in order to gain useful information. In this paper, we propose a micro service based architectural framework which gathers the data from two different cloud service providers. This data is not only stored but processed to generate reports to enable optimal use of cloud infrastructure. The use of microservices framework provides benefits and is a preferred framework for the development of cloud applications. The main aim of this work is to provide an integrated mechanism to enable the comparison of cost for using similar cloud services.

Significant exploitation and utilization of cloud computing in industry is come with and in the identical time vulnerable by unease regarding protection of data hold by cloud computing providers. One of the penalties of moving data processing and storage off business site is that organizations have fewer controls over their infrastructure. seeing that, cloud service (CS) providers must hope that the CS provider is capable to protect their data and infrastructure from both exterior and domestic attacks. Presently however, such hope can only rely on organizational procedures stated by the CS provider and cannot be remotely verified and validated by an external party. The central distinction between cloud computing and conventional enterprise internal Information Technology services is that the proprietor and the consumer of cloud Information Technology infrastructures are separated in cloud. This transform requires a safety responsibility severance in cloud computing. Cloud service providers (CSP) should safe the services they propose and cannot surpass the customers’ authorities. Virtualization is a buildup utterance in the Information Technology world. With the assure to reduce the ever mounting infrastructure inside data centers connected to other important apprehensions such as ease of use and scalability, virtualization technology has been in advance recognition not only with IT experts yet also among administrators and executives as well. The progressively more growing rate of the approval of this technology has exposed these systems to new protection concerns which in recent history have been unnoticed or merely overlooked. This paper presents an in depth state of art gaze at  present most old server virtualization explanations, as well as a writing study on different security matters found inside this virtualization technology. These problems can be practical to all the existing virtualization technologies accessible with no spotlight on a specific answer. Nevertheless, we do susceptibility investigation of two of the mainstream recognized virtualization answers: VMware ESX and Xen. to conclude, we illustrate some clarifications on how to progress the security of online banking and electronic commerce, using virtualization.

Cloud computing is one of most fast developing technology and many organizations are now offering a wide range of cloud services. Although the services provided are the same there is no common programming language, technology and protocol to access the entirety of the cloud services. Client who use a service provided by a certain organization are often limited and confined to that specific organization its structure and technologies. A Cloud federation is one solution to that interoperability through which computing resources of one Cloud Service Provider is rented or sold to another service provider or the services provided by one Cloud Service Provider is replicated into another Cloud Service Provider without having to lose any functionality and performance. This process is a tedious task and is prone to multiple limitations. In this paper we proposed the architectural framework and algorithm for the possible interoperability between the cloud service providers based on SLA in prospective of health sector as the application of cloud in health sector is highly needed in future.

Cloud Computing is being intended to deliver information technology services based on internet on demand. The benefits of cloud technology are incomparable which takes the information technology into a new dimension. Organizations already invested for their own infrastructure are likely to set up private clouds to reap the benefits of cloud computing technologies. Cloud services are thriving by the open source software OpenStack. In this paper, we aim to introduce the largest open-source cloud operating system OpenStack with a new authentication mechanism. This paper tries to address the challenge of finding legitimate users by introducing One Time Password (OTP) as an authentication mechanism in OpenStack. Replay attacks can be defeated by using One Time Password. The OTP mechanism provides an extra level of protection which makes it extremely difficult for any potential intruder to abuse the recorded password that was already used to log into cloud service. The integration of OTP mechanism into OpenStack allows users to protect their credentials from unauthorized access. Also One Time Password is used to grant access to legitimate users into the cloud environment and to prevent access to malicious users bot attacks.With secured cloud environment users can enjoy lot many benefits of private cloud service.

The article is devoted to the analysis of modern approaches that ensure the security of cloud services. Since cloud computing is one of the fastest growing areas among information technology, it is extremely important to ensure the safety and reliability of processes occurring in the clouds and to secure the interaction between the client and the provider of cloud services. Given that fears about data loss and their compromise are one of the main reasons that some companies do not transfer their calculations to the clouds. The object of research and analysis of this work are cloud services, which are provided by various cloud service providers. The aim of the study of this work is to compare existing approaches that provide information security for cloud services, as well as offer a new approach based on the principle of diversity. There are many approaches that ensure their safety, using both traditional and cloud-specific. The multi-cloud approach is one of the most promising strategies for improving reliability by reserving cloud resources on the servers of various cloud service providers. It is shown that it is necessary to use diversity to ensure the reliability and safety of critical system components. The principle of diversity is to use a unique version of each resource thanks to a special combination of a cloud computing provider, the geographical location of data centers, cloud service presentation models, and cloud infrastructure deployment models. The differences between cloud providers and which combination of services are preferable to others in terms of productivity are discussed in detail. In addition, best practices for securing cloud resources are reviewed. As a result, this paper concludes that there is a problem of insufficient security and reliability of cloud computing and how to reduce threats in order to avoid a common cause failure and, as a result, loss of confidential data or system downtime using diversity of cloud services.

Benefits of using cloud technology are obvious, their application is expanding, as a result, it determines the steady growth of demand. Cloud computing has acquired particular relevance for large companies connected with Internet services, retailing, logistics that generate large volume of business and other information. The use of cloud technologies allows organizing the joint consumption of resources, solving the problems of storing and transferring significant amounts of data. Russian consumer cooperation refers to large territory distributed organizations actively forming their own digital ecosystem. The issue of data storing and processing for consumer coo-peration organizations is very relevant. At the same time, the prices of cloud service providers are significantly different and require solving the problem of minimizing the cost of storing and transferring significant amounts of data. The application of the linear programming method is considered to select the optimal data storage scheme for several cloud service providers having different technical and economic parameters of the package (maximum amount of storage, cost of allocated resources). Mathematical model includes the equation of costs for data storing and transferring and restrictions on the amount of storage, the amount of data and its safety. Software tool that allows to perform numerical calculations is selected Microsoft Excel in combination with the "search for solutions" add-on. In accordance with the mathematical model, the conditions for minimizing the amount of cloud storage costs and the necessary restrictions are established. Initial data are set for three data forming centers, storages of certain size for five cloud service providers and nominal price for information storage and transmission. Calculations of expenses are performed in several variants: without optimization, with the solution of the optimization problem, with price increase by cloud service providers. Results of the calculations confirm the necessity to solve the problem of minimizing the cost of cloud services for corporate clients. The presented model can be expanded for any cost conditions as well as for different areas of cloud applications.
