Cloud Data Organization
A cloud database is a database service built and accessed through a cloud platform. It provides many of the same features as traditional databases with the added flexibility of cloud computing. Users install software on the cloud infrastructure to implement the database.
Main features of cloud database:
Database services built and accessed through cloud platforms
Enables business users to host databases without purchasing dedicated hardware
Can be managed by the user or provided as a service and managed by the provider
Can support relational databases (including MySQL and PostgreSQL) and NoSQL databases (including MongoDB and Apache CouchDB)
Access via web interface or vendor-supplied API
Considerations for cloud databases
control options
Users can choose a virtual machine image managed like a traditional database or the provider's Database as a Service (DBaaS).
Database Technology
SQL databases are difficult to scale but common. NoSQL databases scale more easily, but are not suitable for some applications.
Safety of cloud database
Most cloud database providers encrypt data and provide other security measures; organizations should research their options.
maintain
When using virtual machine images, ensure that the underlying infrastructure can be maintained by IT staff.
