Week 12 Cloud Computing

 

Automation

Definition:

  • Automation involves using technology to perform tasks with minimal or no human intervention.
  • It focuses on executing individual repetitive tasks or processes.

Use Cases:

  • Task Automation: Running scripts to automate repetitive tasks like data entry, file transfers, or system backups.
  • Process Automation: Automating accounts provisioning, report generation, and software deployment workflows.

Orchestration

Definition:

  • Orchestration involves coordinating multiple automated tasks and processes into a cohesive workflow.
  • It ensures that different automated activities work together seamlessly to achieve a larger goal.

Use Cases:

  • End-to-End Process Management: Orchestrating a series of automated tasks to manage complex business processes, such as order fulfillment or IT service management.
  • Integration: Coordinating interactions between different systems, applications, and services.

System Hardening Week 9

  Assume Breach and Be Proactive: Traditional cybersecurity is reactive, responding to known attack methods. However, sophisticated adversaries continuously evolve their tactics to bypass security solutions. Threat hunting operates under an “assume breach” mindset. It seeks to uncover indications of attack (IOA) that haven’t been detected yet. The goal is to outthink the attacker by identifying and mitigating threats before they access sensitive data.

Week 7 Cloud Computing.

  Cloud Computing vs. Internet of Things (IoT) Cloud Computing Cloud computing refers to the delivery of computing services (such as servers, storage, databases, networking, software, and analytics) over the internet ("the cloud"). Key characteristics include: ·          On-Demand Resources : Users can access resources as needed without physical hardware. ·          Scalability : Easily scale resources up or down based on demand. ·          Cost-Effectiveness : Pay-as-you-go pricing models reduce the need for significant upfront investments in hardware. ·          Accessibility : Access services from anywhere with an internet connection. Internet of Things (IoT) The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of interconnected devices that collect and exchange data. These devices can include anything from smart home appliances t...

  File Storage Description: Structure: Hierarchical, using directories and subdirectories. Data Organization: Files are stored with metadata like filename, timestamps, and permissions. Advantages: Familiarity: Easy for users to understand and manage, akin to traditional file systems. Ideal Use Cases: Great for storing and managing documents, media files, and shared drives. Block Storage Description: Structure: Data is divided into fixed-sized blocks. Data Organization: Each block has a unique identifier, but no metadata is attached directly. Advantages: Performance: High performance and low latency. Flexibility: The operating system can be formatted and used as required. Ideal Use Cases: Databases: Suitable for database applications. Virtual Machines: Commonly used for VM storage and high-performance applications.
