Identity system codes of conduct

Certain codes of conduct must be observed legally, and if not legally at the moment, then certainly on a moral basis. 

Cloud computing services that don’t observe these codes do so at their peril. 

In working with IDaaS software, evaluate IDaaS applications on the following basis:

  • User control for consent: Users control their identity and must consent to the use of their information.
  • Minimal Disclosure: The minimal amount of information should be disclosed for an intended use.
  • Justifiable access: Only parties who have a justified use of the information contained in a digital identity and have a trusted identity relationship with the owner of the information may be given access to that information.
  • Directional Exposure: An ID system must support bidirectional identification for a public entity so that it is discoverable and a unidirectional identifier for private entities, thus protecting the private ID.
  • Interoperability: A cloud computing ID system must interoperate with other identity services from other identity providers.
  • Unambiguous human identification: An IDaaS application must provide an unambiguous mechanism for allowing a human to interact with a system while protecting that user against an identity attack.
  • Consistency of Service: An IDaaS service must be simple to use, consistent across all its uses, and able to operate in different contexts using different technologies.

2.1 VIRTUAL MACHINES PROVISIONING AND MANAGEABILITY

In this section, we will have an overview on the typical life cycle of VM and its major possible states of operation, which make the management and automation of VMs in virtual and cloud environments easier than in traditional computing environments As shown in Figure above, the cycle starts by a request delivered to the IT department, stating the requirement for creating a new server for a particular service.  IT administration to start seeing the servers’ resource pool, matching these resources with the requirements, and starting the provision of the needed virtual machine.  Once provisioned machine started, it is ready to provide the required service according to an SLA, or a time period after which the virtual is being released.

2.2 VIRTUAL MACHINE MIGRATION SERVICES

Migration service, in the context of virtual machines, is the process of moving a virtual machine from one host server or storage location to another; there are different techniques of VM migration, hot/life migration, cold/regular migration, and live storage migration of a virtual machine. In process of migration, all key machines’ components, such as CPU, storage disks, networking, and memory, are completely virtualized, thereby facilitating the entire state of a virtual machine to be captured by a set of easily moved data files. 2.2.1. Migrations Techniques Live Migration and High Availability Live migration (which is also called hot or real-time migration) can be defined as the movement of a virtual machine from one physical host to another while being powered on.  Live migration process takes place without any noticeable effect from the end user’s point of view (a matter of milliseconds).  One of the most significant advantages of live migration is the fact that it facili...

1.2 ROOTS OF CLOUD COMPUTING

We can track the roots of clouds computing by observing the advancement of several technologies, especially in hardware (virtualization, multi-core chips), Internet technologies (Web services, service-oriented architectures, Web 2.0), distributed computing (clusters, grids), and systems management (autonomic computing, data center automation).  Below Figure shows the convergence of technology fields that significantly advanced and contributed to the advent of cloud computing. . We present a closer look at the technologies that form the base of cloud computing, with the aim of providing a clearer picture of the cloud ecosystem as a whole. 1.2.1 From Mainframes to Clouds 1.2.2 SOA, Web Services, Web 2.0, and Mashups 1.2.3 Grid Computing 1.2.4 Utility Computing 1.2.5 Hardware Virtualization 1.2.6 Virtual Appliances and the Open Virtualization Format 1.2.7 Autonomic Computing ______ Cloud computing has its roots in several technologies and developments, including virtualization, gr...
