ABSTRACT
Over the past twelve years, cloud systems have significantly changed business processes in all areas of business. Companies are using cloud services as a key factor in completing their digital transformation, and the COVID pandemic has further accelerated this task. The cloud is emerging as a top management agenda item as companies move from a separate approach to a more holistic, end-to-end digital transformation driven by the cloud. Cloud services save businesses time and money by increasing productivity, improving collaboration, and driving innovation. Now—during the coronavirus crisis, more than ever, cloud services are vital to help companies re-discover, reinvent and overcome uncertainty. Cloud services range from data storage to functional software, including accounting software, customer service tools, and remote desktop hosting. These services can be divided into three groups: infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS) and software as a service (SaaS). This article is devoted to an analytical overview of modern digital cloud services, and the services they provide that can be applied in all areas of business. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
ABSTRACT
The Hirschberg algorithm is commonly used for protein sequence alignment, which is a very important task in bioinformatics. This article presents the AFMC framework for using the Hirschberg method to perform sequence alignment in multiple cloud computing services of different models, such as Infrastructure-as-a-Service and Function-as-a-Service (FaaS). Experiments were carried out in which several instances of AWS EC2, Azure VMs and Google Compute Engine as well as varied configurations of AWS Lambda, Azure Function, and Google Cloud Function were used to pairwise align COVID-19 spike proteins. The services were submitted to different levels of simultaneity to align the genetic sequences. The findings reveal that there is a tradeoff between predicted execution time and cost for this application, for example, FaaS-oriented cloud service models generally took less time to process the workloads. On the other hand, it was observed that, as the level of concurrence increased, there was a marked augmentation in cost. In this context, a framework that provides multi cloud solutions for bioinformatics such as AFMC is essential. © 2023 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

ABSTRACT
Cloud computing market has been growing with its largest over the last two years. Many businesses and education systems moved to the Cloud to support remote work and learning respectively during the COVID time. As data and applications are being migrated outside the enterprise administrative domain to the Cloud, various security challenges should be known to the consumer and the provider. This paper discusses the cloud data center building blocks and surveys the current threats, vulnerabilities, and defense mechanisms at the physical, virtual, orchestration, and application programming interfaces to enable the cloud computing infrastructure as a service. © 2022 IEEE.
ABSTRACT
Today, Cloud Computing is a distributed system environment. These days the services are available pay as you go model. Cloud users are paying as per their services in the cloud environment. The services available to the Cloud users are Infrastructure as a service, platform as a service, software as a service and security as a service. Nowadays, most users are migrating to cloud platforms. In Covid-19 pandemic situation, most large and small scale organizations operating their business using cloud platforms. On the other end due to industrial automation, the companies switched their operations to a cloud environments. Due to the rapid business migration, the demand for cloud computing increased. With the increase of demand in the cloud, the service providers are satisfied. On the other end, a challenging issue is resource allocation. The best resource allocation strategy will provide quick services to the cloud users and minimum cost to the cloud providers. In this paper, we will discuss, resource allocation procedure, the throttled load balancing algorithm and the results are compared with other resource optimization techniques. © 2022 IEEE.
ABSTRACT
Coronavirus Disease 2019 has infected millions of individuals, resulting in thousands of deaths. We designed a COVID-19 tracking and visualization application using a plat-form that uses the cloud to pinpoint COVID-19 dynamics around the world to better understand COVID-19 dynamics. There are three key components in place: First shows the total count of COVID-19 positive reported cases around the world;Second is capable to able to search data of a particular country;Third can provide multi-view comparisons, by showing top 5 countries that have reported total confirmed cases and deaths, and also on daily basis. This work investigates the benefits of using the Salesforce platform that provide real-time service systems in the cloud. Salesforce.com is a set of Customer Relationship Management solutions meant to assist large and small organisations improve customer service, retention rates, purchase analysis, and more. Software as a Service and Platform as a Service are the cloud services provided by the Salesforce. This initiative will give decision-makers with correct data-driven representations very easily, so that they can develop efficient preparedness and response plans in terms of money and cost. © 2022 IEEE.
