Developing a robust architecture framework for effective supervision and management of cloud environments

Abstract

The objective of this study is to create and assess a detailed framework for overseeing cloud computing systems, with a specific emphasis on enhancing security, compliance, and operational efficiency. The goal is to tackle prevalent challenges in cloud administration by presenting efficient solutions derived from professional perspectives and real-world application. The approach consists of four primary steps. Expert Interviews are carried out with professionals in the fields of cloud computing, cybersecurity, and IT management in order to collect qualitative data on the difficulties and most effective methods. Architecture Design entails conducting collaborative workshops with experts and stakeholders to develop a comprehensive, theoretical, and practical framework. Pilot Implementation evaluates the suggested framework in a medium-sized company, overseeing performance, security, and resource allocation. Qualitative Data Analysis utilises theme analysis to examine interview transcripts and observation notes, resulting in improvements to the overall structure. Afterwards, experts validate the design, and the effectiveness is evaluated by comparing pilot results with industry standards. The study demonstrates that the suggested framework greatly enhances the monitoring of cloud environments. Expert analysis identifies key areas for improvement, resulting in a framework that showcases enhanced security and compliance capabilities. The trial installation demonstrates successful performance, efficient resource management, and enhanced security. The design adheres to industry standards, showcasing its efficacy and offering significant suggestions for future cloud computing initiatives.
