Cloud Infrastructure Automation Tools: A Review

Many businesses have moved their services to the cloud throughout the years. One of the main reasons for this is its less expensive infrastructure and scalability. The necessity for infrastructure automation develops as a result of the increased usage of the cloud. There are multiple cloud automation tools available but there is no single tool suitable for every situation. This paper summarizes the various features offered by the different types of cloud automation tools.

How Innovations in Mapping Will Help Support the Ocean Decade

A wholly mapped ocean is one of the foundational goals of the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development. This multifaceted initiative aims to reverse the cycle of decline in ocean health and facilitate improved conditions for sustainable ocean development worldwide. Meeting this goal will require significant innovations in marine geodesy and survey. The following commentary details how innovations in satellite postioning, satellite imaging technology, remote operations, autonomous vehicles and robotics, and analytics and cloud automation are helping to provide safer, more efficient, cost-effective and sustainable marine survey and mapping solutions in support of the Ocean Decade. Real-world innovation examples from Geo-data specialist company Fugro are provided.

Smart Soil Monitoring System for Smart Agriculture

Accurate and timely information is crucial to optimize resources. Sensors determine clay, organic matter, moisture, and nutrients of soil. Sensors at various locations are connected using different technologies. Its data will be automatically reported to cloud without any internet connection. Sensors broadcast data to local base stations (LBS) at different ranges of distances using WiFi, LPWAN, LoRa, Bluetooth, etc., and then to central base station (CBS), which is far away. Modulation, coding techniques, and line of sight keeps signal intact. Data from CBS goes to cloud for analysis, visualization, and trend analysis. This helps farmers to get frequent and real-time data without actual need of physical presence. It reduces manpower, water usage, and other costs of agriculture and has positive environmental impact. Integration with other data like weather forecasts gives more precise information. Convergence of technologies, sensors, cloud, automation, etc. without human interaction contributes to IoT.

Gestión del mantenimiento y la industria 4.0

The purpose of the study is to explore on maintenance management in Industry 4.0 with its characteristics such as virtual reality, digitization of operations, connectivity, robotization, data in the cloud, automation, big data, etc., all to increase productivity in the cyber - physical system. The methodology developed is through a qualitative approach through an exploratory or approach study analyzing multiple subjective realities, derived from data mining and bibliographic search. For maintenance management, it seems more appropriate the proactive and predictive maintenance approach to achieve standard ISA 95 level 4 automation. This reflection seeks to contribute to identifying the challenges that companies must solve, in this case in the maintenance area using terotechnology, since it has a systemic approach that considers the Overall Equipment Effectiveness and CMD indicators (Reliability, Maintainability and Availability) and the horizontal and vertical structures as systems in the digitized factory, always taking into account personnel as a key element for success.

Enhancing Security in Cloud Computing using Playfair and Ceasar Cipher in Substitution Techniques

Cloud Computing is playing the significant role in the existent submissions the humans life. Cloud computing is an extravagant set of conveniently and operative virtualized assets, like as hardware, evolution platforms and utility. Cloud computing is a exclusive generation of the parallel conception. The cloud computing extensibility is a concern of the allotment of revenue on mastery demand. Cloud computing accommodate the operation of uniting. The elevation of the cloud automation also raises the security controversy twice. So, there is a need to solve the security contention in the cloud automation. Reasons for maturity of cloud security for disparate inhabitants and disparate prospect depend upon the exaction. The main trouble correlate with cloud computing is data confidentiality, preservation, data stealing, data breaches etc. In this research work, it is proposed to use a new level of data security solution using Playfair cipher and Ceasar cipher algorithm. Both the algorithms are encrypted by the full set of 256 ASCII characters. A new encryption algorithm for security is implemented in this work. The main aim of this research work is to clarify the security issues in both cloud providers and cloud consumers using cryptography encryption methods.

Design of devops solution for managing multi cloud distributed environment

DevOps is the emerging field in the area of IT infrastructure management and cloud automation. Organization are spending time and money in terms of continuous improvement and optimization in their infrastructure management and finding to avenues for efficiency and produc-tivity improvement, reduce redundancy and optimise cost in the area of development and deployment of their enterprise application. More importantly, organisation have multiple environment to manage and hence need to have a mechanism to continuously monitor and optimize operational task and improve collaboration with various teams across organization. In addition, many companies are migrating or migrated on to cloud, some are having multiple cloud environments across regions, and hence managing it is even more difficult and need to have a mechanism to address the key challenges and risk in managing devOps in multicloud. . In this article, we would like to discuss the key challenges and how it can be addressed in a multi cloud environment and proposing an integrated solution addressing all challenges with right set of tools and framework design which enables devops in multi cloud efficiently.
