Section 3.4 (Page no 98- 102)
3.4. Risks and Challenges

2. Several of the most critical cloud computing challenges
pertaining mostly
to cloud consumers that use IT resources located in public
clouds are
presented and examined.
Increased Security Vulnerabilities
The moving of business data to the cloud means that the
responsibility
over data security becomes shared with the cloud provider. The
remote
usage of IT resources requires an expansion of trust boundaries
by the
cloud consumer to include the external cloud. It can be difficult
to
establish a security architecture that spans such a trust boundary
without introducing vulnerabilities, unless cloud consumers and
cloud
providers happen to support the same or compatible security
frameworks—which is unlikely with public clouds.
Another consequence of overlapping trust boundaries relates to
the
cloud provider’s privileged access to cloud consumer data. The
extent to
which the data is secure is now limited to the security controls
and
policies applied by both the cloud consumer and cloud provider.
Furthermore, there can be overlapping trust boundaries from
different
cloud consumers due to the fact that cloud-based IT resources
are
commonly shared.
The overlapping of trust boundaries and the increased exposure
of data
can provide malicious cloud consumers (human and automated)
with
greater opportunities to attack IT resources and steal or damage

3. business
data. Figure 3.9 illustrates a scenario whereby two
organizations
accessing the same cloud service are required to extend their
respective
trust boundaries to the cloud, resulting in overlapping trust
boundaries.
It can be challenging for the cloud provider to offer security
mechanisms
that accommodate the security requirements of both cloud
service
consumers.
Figure 3.9. The shaded area with diagonal lines indicates the
overlap of two organizations’
trust boundaries.
Overlapping trust boundaries is a security threat that is
discussed in
more detail in Chapter 6.
Reduced Operational Governance Control
Cloud consumers are usually allotted a level of governance
control that is
lower than that over on-premise IT resources. This can
introduce risks
associated with how the cloud provider operates its cloud, as
well as the
external connections that are required for communication
between the
cloud and the cloud consumer.
Consider the following examples:
• An unreliable cloud provider may not maintain the guarantees
it makes
in the SLAs that were published for its cloud services. This can
jeopardize the quality of the cloud consumer solutions that rely
on these
cloud services.
• Longer geographic distances between the cloud consumer and

4. cloud
provider can require additional network hops that introduce
fluctuating
latency and potential bandwidth constraints.
The latter scenario is illustrated in Figure 3.10.
Figure 3.10. An unreliable network connection compromises the
quality of
communication between cloud consumer and cloud provider
environments.
Legal contracts, when combined with SLAs, technology
inspections, and
monitoring, can mitigate governance risks and issues. A cloud
governance system is established through SLAs, given the “as-
a-service”
nature of cloud computing. A cloud consumer must keep track
of the
actual service level being offered and the other warranties that
are made
by the cloud provider.
Note that different cloud delivery models offer varying degrees
of
operational control granted to cloud consumers, as further
explained
in Chapter 4.
Limited Portability Between Cloud Providers
Due to a lack of established industry standards within the cloud
computing industry, public clouds are commonly proprietary to
various
extents. For cloud consumers that have custom-built solutions
with
dependencies on these proprietary environments, it can be
challenging
to move from one cloud provider to another.
Portability is a measure used to determine the impact of moving
cloud
consumer IT resources and data between clouds (Figure 3.11).

5. Figure 3.11. A cloud consumer’s application has a decreased
level of portability when
assessing a potential migration from Cloud A to Cloud B,
because the cloud provider of
Cloud B does not support the same security technologies as
Cloud A.
Multi-Regional Compliance and Legal Issues
Third-party cloud providers will frequently establish data
centers in
affordable or convenient geographical locations. Cloud
consumers will
often not be aware of the physical location of their IT resources
and data
when hosted by public clouds. For some organizations, this can
pose
serious legal concerns pertaining to industry or government
regulations
that specify data privacy and storage policies. For example,
some UK
laws require personal data belonging to UK citizens to be kept
within the
United Kingdom.
Another potential legal issue pertains to the accessibility and
disclosure
of data. Countries have laws that require some types of data to
be
disclosed to certain government agencies or to the subject of the
data.
For example, a European cloud consumer’s data that is located
in the
U.S. can be more easily accessed by government agencies (due
to the U.S.
Patriot Act) when compared to data located in many European
Union
countries.
Most regulatory frameworks recognize that cloud consumer

6. organizations are ultimately responsible for the security,
integrity, and
storage of their own data, even when it is held by an external
cloud
provider.
Summary of Key Points
• Cloud environments can introduce distinct security challenges,
some of which
pertain to overlapping trust boundaries imposed by a cloud
provider sharing IT
resources with multiple cloud consumers.
• A cloud consumer’s operational governance can be limited
within cloud
environments due to the control exercised by a cloud provider
over its platforms.
• The portability of cloud-based IT resources can be inhibited
by dependencies
upon proprietary characteristics imposed by a cloud.
• The geographical location of data and IT resources can be out
of a cloud
consumer’s control when hosted by a third-party cloud provider.
This can
introduce various legal and regulatory compliance concerns.

individual assignment on assignment on ‘Perspective Taking:
Ecological Systems and Life Course Model’ (from Module 3).
Be sure all of the following sections (with headings) are
included:
Definition of Health and Wellbeing
Problem
Alternative Perspectives
Ecological Systems
Life Course Model
Add an additional heading: Systems of Action
B. Systems of Action: Give at least three examples (for each
type of action: technical, communicative and critical) that may
be used to help resolve the problem described in your paper. Be
future oriented: Think about what might be done to help
resolve the problem --- not what actions have already taken
place already.
· Technical actions are those related to completing an
immediate goal or making a product.

8. · Communicative actions are those focused on achieving
‘deeper’ communication, that is, to achieve shared beliefs,
mutual understanding, transmit culture or traditions.
· Critical actions are those actions and/or ‘deeper’ questions
which help to examine assumptions, beliefs, and attitudes.
NOTE: You may notice that some of these actions do “overlap”
with one another (it is OK if they do). The point is to move
our focus from technical actions only to the consideration of
multiple forms of action that may be taken to best resolve a
problem.

HEALTH AND WELLBEING 2

14. Health and Wellbeing
Ayaa Mahdi
Definition of Health and Wellbeing
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as ‘a
state of complete physical, mental
and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or
infirmity’ (WHO, 1948). Health is a person’s state of complete
mental, physical, and social wellbeing. It’s the broad aspect of
being psychologically, mentally, and socially fit and the
interaction of all these factors in a person’s real-life situation.
Ideally, they both go beyond the ideal of the absence of illness.
Wellbeing will broadly mean person health and positive
interaction and participation with the society (Thompson, 2020).
Problem-related to health and wellbeing
From the case of Williams and Sarah, we realize that there is a
psychosocial problem. The two couples sharply differ not only
in the way the children should be disciplined but also in the
manner in which they were raised, which to a better extend has
impacted on their social life as grown-ups. While Williams
believes corporal punishment is good in correcting a child’s
behavior, Sarah cannot start it and a conflict ensues. Their
social setting differs and this results in a family that is marred
with conflict about how to discipline their daughter.
The rationale to the problem
The problem seems to be rooted from their different background
from which they were both raised. Williams was raised in a
family that uses slaps and spanks to correct wrong behavior
while Sarah was raised in a family which did not value corporal
punishment. As a result, they cannot tolerate each other. While
Sarah does not have any alternative to corporal punishment as a
way of correcting behavior, she cannot tolerate it as she
believes children raised with it assume violence and
aggressiveness as a way of solving issues but Williams knows a
little spanking is good for correcting child's behavior.

15. The 2 perspectives
Williams believes in corporal punishment for the correction of a
child's behavior. As many hold, similar beliefs as William-they
belief corporal punishment is effective in correcting behavior.
Researches imply its effectiveness in changing behavior
although it's widely opposed.
Sarah is strongly opposed to corporal punishment. She argues
it's a form of violence and its impact on the children's beliefs of
violence as the only means of solving problems is deleterious.
While many have observed corporal punishment is effective, its
impact is short-lived and may not be applicable for future
applicability. Hence, the need to adopt alternative disciplining
methods (Gershoff, 2018).
Event models
This problem may have been contributed by both psychological
and societal occurrences. First, Willian is said to have spent all
day long at work and he is tired and a bit upset. Their mental
state is not in its fitness. The societal model could have
contributed since the two couples were brought up from
different families with different beliefs and attributes. While
William has been spanked and beaten, Sarah’s family did not
treasure corporal punishment and hence the course of family rift
and conflict.
