What is cloud interoperability? Describe.

 Cloud Interoperability 

  •  Cloud interoperability refers to the ability of customers to use the same management tools, server images, and other software with a variety of cloud computing providers and platforms. Cloud interoperability is the ability of a customer’s system to interact with a cloud service or the ability for one cloud service to interact with other cloud services by exchanging information according to a prescribed method to obtain predictable results. "The definition is based on ISO/IEC19941 ".
  • In cloud computing, the most significant interacting components are those which belong to the cloud service customer and interact with components of the cloud service provider. The nature of the interaction is a network connection using a prescribed interface or API. There are typically multiple separate interfaces, each dealing with a different aspect of the cloud service. 
  • For example, there are the functional interfaces of the cloud service itself, authentication and authorization interfaces, interfaces for the administration of the cloud services, and business interfaces for billing and invoicing. The idea of interoperability is that the interfaces are standardized in some way — i.e., they are interoperable — so that the customer can switch to another cloud service provider with minimal impact on the customer’s components. "The writeup is based on 2017 Cloud Standards Customer Council ".
  • In short interoperability in cloud computing is a sector that ensures private and public cloud services can understand each other’s API, configuration, data formats, and forms of authentication and authorization. OR,
  • Cloud interoperability refers to the ability of the systems to work efficiently and collaborate effectively across different cloud platforms. It is emerging as an essential element in enterprise cloud strategy as companies seek to mitigate vendor lock-ins, ensure business continuity and navigate through fluctuating workloads. 
  • At its core, interoperability requires shared processes, APIs, containers, and data models across the multi-cloud environment to enable communication between application components. It also requires dynamic discovery of application components, along with real-time data synchronization. These requirements centered around data and application component synchronization across different cloud platforms make interoperability a challenging proposition!

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
