Briefly summarize the challenges still open in cloud computing.

 CHALLENGES FOR THE CLOUD COMPUTING

Cloud computing is used for enabling global access to mutual pools of resources such as services, apps, data, servers, and computer networks. It is done on either a third-party server located in a data center or a privately-owned cloud. This makes data-accessing contrivances more reliable and efficient, with nominal administration effort. Because cloud technology depends on the allocation of resources to attain consistency and economy of scale, similar to a utility, it is also fairly cost-effective, making it the choice for many small businesses and firms.

But there are also many challenges involved in cloud computing, and if you are not prepared to deal with them, you will not realize the benefits. Here are six common challenges you must consider before implementing cloud computing technology.

1. Security and Data privacy:

 This is the major issue that is related to storing and securing data. Security risks of cloud computing have become the top concern. Sensitive and personal information that is kept in the cloud should be defined as being for internal use only, not to be shared with third parties.

2. Cost

Cloud computing itself is affordable but tuning the platform according to the company's
needs can be expensive. Companies can save some money on system maintenance, management,
and acquisitions. But they also have to invest in additional bandwidth. 

3. Service Provider Reliability: 

The capacity and capability of a technical service provider are as important as the price. The service provider must be available when you need them. The main concern should be the service provider's sustainability and reputation. 


4. Downtime: 

Downtime is a significant shortcoming of cloud technology. No seller can promise a platform that is free of possible downtime. Cloud technology makes small companies reliant on their connectivity, so companies with an untrustworthy internet connection probably want to think twice before adopting cloud computing. 30/58


5. Password Security: 

Industrious password supervision plays a vital role in cloud security. However, the more people you are accessing your cloud account with, the less secure it is Anybody aware of your passwords will be able to access the information you store there. 

6. Vendor lock-in: 

Entering a cloud computing agreement is easier than leaving it. "Vendor lock-in happens when altering providers is either excessively expensive or just not possible. It could be that the service is nonstandard or that there is no viable vendor substitute.

7. Compliance Concerns: 

There are many compliance issues affecting cloud computing based on the type of data and application for which the cloud is being used.

8. Lack of standards: 

Clouds have documented interfaces; however, no standards are associated with these and thus it is unlikely that most clouds will be interoperable. The open grid forum is developing an open cloud computing Interface to resolve this issue and the Open Cloud.

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.

Suppose that a data warehouse consists of the four dimensions; date, spectator, location, and game, and the two measures, count and charge, where charge is the fee that a spectator pays when watching a game on a given date. Spectators may be students, adults, or seniors, with each category having its own charge rate. a) Draw a star schema diagram for the data b) Starting with the base cuboid [date; spectator; location; game], what specific OLAP operations should perform in order to list the total charge paid by student spectators at GM Place in 2004?

What is national data warehouse? What is census data?

National Data warehouse   A large number of national data warehouses can be identified from the existing data resources within the central government ministries. These are potential subject areas in which data warehouses may be developed at present and in the future. Census Data Census data can help planners and others understand their communities' social, economic, and demographic conditions. Census data is the primary data used by planners to understand the social, economic, and demographic conditions locally and nationally. We sometimes think the census is unique to the United States, but census data is collected in other countries.  The total process of collecting, compiling, and publishing demographic, economic, and social data about a specific time to all people in a country or fixed or defined area part of a country. Most countries also include a housing census. A census is a procedure of systematically acquiring and recording information about the members of a given populat
