Appendix 3: Specific Focus Areas in Cloud Computing

Image
Abstract Specific focus areas in cloud computing include  core service models like IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS;   emerging technologies like AI/ML, serverless, and edge computing;   essential cross-cutting concerns such as security, performance optimization, and cost management;   and advanced strategies like hybrid and multi-cloud environments . Organizations also focus on leveraging cloud for specific use cases like  big data analytics ,   disaster recovery ,  and  IoT integration .   Here are some key areas of focus within cloud computing: Core Cloud Service Models & Architectures IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service):   Focuses on providing scalable computing resources, storage, and networking on demand.   PaaS (Platform as a Service):   Offers developers tools and an environment to build, deploy, and manage applications without managing the underlying infrastructure.   SaaS (Software as a Service):   D...

History, Facts, and Documentary Evidence Relating to the Kudmi/Kudmi-Mahato / Mahto Claim for Scheduled-Tribe Status!!

Image
Overview This article examines the historical background, anthropological and administrative facts, and the documentary trail relevant to claims that the Kudmi (also spelled Kurmi/Kudmi-Mahato) community of eastern India should be recognised as a Scheduled Tribe (ST) . It presents the evidence that proponents use, the counter-evidence produced by official bodies, and the concrete government documents and scholarly reports that have shaped the issue to date. The goal is to give a clear, source-based account so readers can evaluate whether—and on what grounds—the Kudmi claim meets the legal and constitutional framework for ST inclusion. 1. Who are the Kudmi / Kudmi-Mahato? The Kudmi (Kudmi-Mahato) are an agrarian community concentrated in parts of Jharkhand, West Bengal, Odisha, and neighbouring areas . Their traditional occupation is agriculture; they observe village-level totemic customs and celebrate festivals such as Bari Puja, Karam and Tusu. Their language is genera...

Annexure 2: Industry Trends – Emerging Cloud Technologies and Their Potential Impact

Image
Abstract: Emerging cloud trends focus on  hybrid/multi-cloud, edge computing, serverless and cloud-native architectures, AI/ML integration, and sustainability , all poised to drive business transformation through increased efficiency, scalability, security, and innovation. These technologies enable real-time data processing at the edge, streamlined application development, and more intelligent, personalized cloud experiences, though they also present new challenges in security and cost management.   Key Emerging Cloud Technologies and Trends Hybrid and Multi-Cloud Strategies : Businesses are adopting hybrid and multi-cloud approaches to enhance flexibility, resilience, and avoid vendor lock-in, balancing public and private cloud options for different workloads.   Edge Computing : Processing data closer to its source (at the "edge") reduces latency, improving performance for IoT, AI-powered applications, and real-time decision-making.   Serverles...

Annexure 1: Hands-on Exercises, Practical Labs and Assignments for real-world Cloud Platforms

Image
Abstract : To get hands-on experience with cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, utilize official and third-party hands-on labs on platforms like  Google Cloud Skills Boost, Pluralsight, and Digital Cloud Training , which provide temporary, real-world environments for you to complete tasks. You can also gain practical experience by building personal projects, such as deploying a website, creating a cloud database, or developing a web application using cloud services. For a more structured approach, consider dedicated cloud training programs that offer step-by-step labs covering essential topics like networking, storage, compute, and security.   Leveraging Official Platforms Google Cloud Skills Boost: Offers hands-on labs that provide temporary access to the actual Google Cloud Platform environment to complete real-world use cases within a set time frame.   AWS: While specific platforms are not listed for AWS, the general recommendation i...
