The best operating environment is built layer by layer from scratch. Cloud architecture is an overall structure, which depends on the symbiotic relationship between components, including front-end and back-end platforms, cloud-based delivery systems and network resources.

1. Change the type of cloud storage

Tavares claims that focusing on one storage type is not a good choice. Most major cloud providers offer a variety of storage services. For example, AWS provides simple storage (S3), resilient block storage (EBS), resilient file system (EFS), import / export bulk data transfer services, and Glacier archive backup and storage gateways. "No storage option is suitable for all situations," he said. In addition, using different cloud storage options for different datasets can bring performance, cost, and functional benefits. "

two。 Establish an elastic connection

A well-structured cloud platform provides high bandwidth and low latency. "the network layer needs to be flexible and provide end users with the ability to move quickly and efficiently between servers and, in some cases, other cloud platforms," explained Mike Attar, chief information officer of Future Tech Enterprise, the IT services management agency. "Monitoring and management functions should be easy to decide how to use cloud computing resources accordingly."

Rials noted that "clearly defined cloud architectures involve not only cloud infrastructure, but also connectivity. By default, organizations connect to cloud service providers through Internet. Each major cloud service provider provides a private connection from the customer's location to its cloud infrastructure."

Because a well-defined cloud architecture involves a multi-cloud approach, establishing a separate connection with each cloud service provider may be too expensive. "therefore, it is recommended to establish a network connection to a cloud connection agent or cloud exchange, which has a network interface with each major cloud computing service provider." Rials suggested.

3. Integrated security

"Cloud security services should never be separated from other services," Tavares said. "instead, they should be integrated into other services, such as storage and those related to improved scalability."

Rials said, "every layer of the cloud architecture should embed sound security principles. Organizations that use cloud computing services should have a clear understanding of where the responsibilities of cloud service providers end and where organizational responsibilities begin. Many cloud computing users mistakenly assume that network security is the full responsibility of cloud service providers. A well-defined cloud architecture has deep-rooted network security issues throughout the architecture. "
