Cloud Integration Patterns

Question

1. What are the requirements of computation intensive applications?

2. What are the three scenarios that are selected?

3. What is the way to integrate different clouds?

4. What were the important layers implemented in the data archive?

Accepted Answer

Computationally intensive applications must satisfy real time performance requirements, thousands of transactions per second and with very high availability and reliability.

Accepted Answer

The selected scenarios are: SaaS Integration, Public Cloud Integration and the Centralized and Decentralized Multi-Cloud Integration within Hybrid Clouds.

Accepted Answer

The authors used the Distributed ESB pattern together with the Cloud Balancing pattern [7] for integrating different clouds with potentially different loads.

Accepted Answer

The important layers were redundantly implemented; in the data archive the data layer and in the financial management system all layers were replicated.

Accepted Answer

According to a study of IDG Enterprises, 42% of the IT decision makers are planning to increase spending on cloud computing in 2015, making cloud computing projects the most important IT initiatives [3].

Accepted Answer

If they do not use technologies on the cloud they are confronted with high IT development and operational costs, while usage of these technologies from a single cloud provider will most probably result in legal issues, non-optimal operational costs and vendor locking costs.

Accepted Answer

The main concern for integrating the cloud applications with the applications of the internal environment was the accessibility and usability of the systems using strong authentication.

Accepted Answer

Cloud balancing requires all the mechanisms of the load balancing and workload distribution, along with the existence of redundant storage and servers in another cloud.

Accepted Answer

The authentication and authorization system in each node must be connected with the internal master system and the synchronization jobs need to be configured and kept up to date.

Accepted Answer

Reasons for the unavailability of cross-cloud support include the lack of advantage for the cloud provider and the fact that the cloud adoption process needs to progress further so that demands for such functionalities grow.

Accepted Answer

Proven message exchange patterns (MEP) patterns are used similarly in enterprise landscapes to integrate services and applications without harming system runtime (e.g. performance) and maintenance requirements.

Accepted Answer

Migration of all dependent applications at once is associated with high risks and lack of any ROI (Return of Investment) in the first years after the project starts.

Accepted Answer

Along with availability requirements, the documents of different customers may be located in different clouds due to legal and regulatory reasons.

Accepted Answer

Together with the different deployment options (Public Cloud, Private Cloud and Hybrid Cloud) these allow for various integration options to optimize communication and deal with sensitive data.
