Short note on Identity as a Service (IDaaS).

 IDENTITY-AS-A-SERVICE (IDAAS)

  • Identity as a Service (IDaaS) is a third-party authentication infrastructure that is designed, hosted, and maintained by a service provider. IDaaS may be thought of as a cloud-based single sign-on (SSO). A business IDaaS is often acquired as a subscription-based managed service. A cloud service provider may also charge a subscription to host apps and give users role-based access to certain programs or even full virtualized desktops via a secure portal.
  • Employees at a corporation must log in to the system to execute numerous duties. These systems may be hosted on a local server or in the cloud. 
  • The following are some of the issues that an employee may encounter:
  1. Keeping track of various login and password combinations for accessing many servers. 
  2. When an employee quits the organization, it is necessary to disable all of that user's accounts.
  • To address the aforementioned issues, a new technology called Identity-as-a-Service evolved (IDaaS). As a digital entity, IDaaS manages identification information. This identity can be used for online transactions. Identity-as-a-Service- to solve the identity problem, the service essentially leverages the SaaS model and provides single sign-on for web applications, strong authentication and federation across boundaries, integration with internal identities, and identity monitoring, compliance, and management tools and services as appropriate.
  • The more cloud services you use, the more IDaaS you require, which should also include governance, management, and compliance (GRC) as part of the service. GRC is a growingly recognized phrase that represents a new method for enterprises to take an integrated approach to these three areas. However, this risk phrase is frequently used to describe a single business activity when, in reality, it encompasses many overlapping and related activities, such as internal audits, compliance programs such as Sarbanes-Oxley, enterprise risk management, and operational risk, and incident management.

Gartner defines IDaaS as, "a predominantly cloud-based service in a multi-tenant or dedicated and hosted delivery model that brokers core identity governance and administration (IGA), access and intelligence functions to target systems on customers' premises and in the cloud." Gartner states the core aspects of IDaaS as:

IGA: Provisioning of users to cloud applications and password reset functionality.

 Access: User authentication, Single Sign-On (SSO), and authorization supporting federation standards such as SAMI.

Intelligence: Identity access log monitoring and reporting.


Identity

The term "identity" refers to a set of characteristics that are connected with something for it to be recognized. Although all things may share the same qualities, their identities cannot be the same. The unique identification feature is used to provide a unique identity. Several identification services are used to authenticate services such as websites, transactions, transaction participants, clients, and so on. The following services may be provided as part of the Identity-as-a-Service:

  • Directory services
  • Federated services Registration
  • Authentication services Risk and event monitoring
  • Single sign-on services Identity and profile management

Suppose that a data warehouse for Big-University consists of the following four dimensions: student, course, semester, and instructor, and two measures count and avg_grade. When at the lowest conceptual level (e.g., for a given student, course, semester, and instructor combination), the avg_grade measure stores the actual course grade of the student. At higher conceptual levels, avg_grade stores the average grade for the given combination. a) Draw a snowflake schema diagram for the data warehouse. b) Starting with the base cuboid [student, course, semester, instructor], what specific OLAP operations (e.g., roll-up from semester to year) should one perform in order to list the average grade of CS courses for each BigUniversity student. c) If each dimension has five levels (including all), such as “student < major < status < university < all”, how many cuboids will this cube contain (including the base and apex cuboids)?

a) A Snowflake Shema is shown in figure below: b) The specific OLAP operations to be performed: 1. Roll-up on course from course_id to department. 2. Roll-up on a student from student_id to university. 3. Dice on course, student with department ="CS" and university = "biguniversity" 4. Drill-down on a student from the university to student_name. c) N = 4 dimensions The cube will contain 54 = 625 cuboids.

Describe how cloud computing technology can be applied to support remote ECG monitoring.

  Healthcare: ECG (Electrocardiogram) Analysis in cloud computing Healthcare is a field, subject, sector, or territory in which information technology has several uses. These apps are being used to aid businesses in supporting scientists in developing disease prevention solutions. Cloud computing has emerged as an appealing alternative for constructing health monitoring systems as a result of the development of the Internet or to put it another way, as a result of the availability of the internet. The ECG machine, for example, is a health monitoring device that measures the human body's heartbeat and prints the results on graph paper. The electrocardiogram (ECG) measures the electrical activity of the heart's Cardium. A waveform is created as a result of this action, which is repeated throughout time and symbolizes the heartbeat.  The analysis of the shape is used to identify arrhythmias, and it is the most common way of detecting heart diseases. Here the meaning of arrhythmias

Explain market-Oriented Cloud computing architecture.

  Market Oriented Cloud Computing (Mocc) As customers rely on Cloud providers to cover all of their computing needs, they will expect certain Qe from their providers to fulfill their objectives and continue their operations. Cloud providers must examine and satisfy the various QoS standards of each unique consumer as stipulated in unique SLAs. To do this, cloud providers cannot continue to install traditional system-centric resource management architectures that do not give incentives for them to share their resources while still treating all service requests as equal insignificance. Instead, market-oriented resource management is required to maintain the supply and demand for Cloud resources at market equilibrium, provide feedback in the form of economic incentives for both Cloud consumers and providers, and promote QoS-based resource allocation mechanisms that differentiate service requests based on their utility. The diagram depicts a high-level architecture for enabling market-orie
