An updated, revised, and comprehensive overview of the concepts related to cloud computing, including recent applications, innovations, and its future evolution. In this Essential Knowledge volume, Nayan B. Ruparelia provides an updated and revised version of Cloud Computing, first published in 2016, to address not only the fact that cloud computing has become a ubiquitous part of mainstream computing since then but also has made strides in other key aspects of the technology's development, including: • cloud computing's history, • updated security fundamentals that provide examples of Identity and Access Management (IAM) use that illustrate the difference between on-premise (i.e., conventional) security and cloud-based security implementation and Security Information and Event Management SIEM), • an updated discussion of data migration to the cloud, • a new chapter on data integrity, • cloud native computing, • the use of microservice design patterns, • cloud automation using orchestrators and tools such as Kubernetes, • a comparison of common public clouds (Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, and Amazon AWS), • and a future outlook for cloud computing. An indispensable guide to cloud computing for the layperson, Cloud Computing cuts through the technical jargon and details that are irrelevant to nontechnologists, as well as the marketing hype, and explains clearly what cloud computing is, when to use it (and when not to), how to select a cloud service, how to integrate it with other technologies, and what the best practices are for its adoption.

El artículo parte de una conceptualización de la computación en la nube, explicando sus ventajas, beneficios y cómo funciona. A continuación se analiza la discusión que existe entre el derecho de propiedad de los titulares de derechos y el derecho de acceso a la información de parte de los usuarios de la nube. Posteriormente se expone la forma como se aplica el régimen de derechos de autor en relación con este nuevo servicio de la red. Finalmente, se plantea el régimen de responsabilidad de los proveedores de servicios cuando se ponen a disposición los contenidos digitales resultantes de la prestación de este servicio, todo esto acompañado de una casuística judicial cuyas decisiones dejan mucho qué pensar respecto de una efectiva protección del derecho de autor en la red.

Reinventing through the cloud, cities are using the power of cloud computing to address all those urban problems that have long concerned planners, engineers, and, more recently, the citizenry. We are studying current applications of this technology to provide the kinds of working and sustainable urban systems we have long seen for our hometowns. Scalability, cost, and compatibility are some of the good things clouds have to offer. Still, lots of things may go wrong, but, there is a vision of using them to do fundamental city stuff, like integrate with other “smart” systems (traffic, energy, water, etc.) and manage all that data in a way that allows useful decision-making. Okay, we give up. We are trying to deliver a narrative rather than good, old-fashioned academic discourse. We also failed to mention that cloud computing makes it possible to link with networks of sensors and actuators in the so-called Internet of Things (IoT). That is a big deal, because the way stuff is getting connected and the amount of data being generated are key factors enabling cities’ new brains. And that's not all.

Obwohl die cloudgestützte Verarbeitung von Beschäftigtendaten ansteigt, bildet sich diese Tatsache nicht in Betriebsvereinbarungen ab. Werden zwingende Mitbestimmungsrechte nicht oder zumindest noch nicht ausgeübt? Der Grund kann in der Unkenntnis darüber liegen, dass Anwendungen, die ehemals serverbasiert eingesetzt wurden, nun - von vielen Gremien unbemerkt - in Clouds überführt werden. Großteils sind die Namen der Anwendungen gleich geblieben und es ist nur aus den Namenszusätzen zu erkennen, dass sich wesentliche Details bei der Datenverarbeitung geändert haben. Zum anderen ist auch die steigende Komplexität der Systeme und der dahinterstehenden Clouds ein Grund, warum BR-Gremien bei der Bearbeitung der Materie kaum mehr genug Zeit zur Verfügung steht. Von wem, an welchen Standorten und von welchen Unternehmen werden die Daten der eigenen Beschäftigten verarbeitet? Die Verfolgung dieser Frage kann sich zur Sisyphusarbeit ausweiten, die erheblichen Sachverstand und viel Zeit in Anspruch nimmt.Daten in Clouds auszulagern kann effizient für das Unternehmen sein, muss aber von den Mitbestimmungsgremien auf die Rechtmäßigkeit hin überprüfbar bleiben. Daher sollten Betriebsräte hier keinesfalls auf den kontrollierenden Blick und die Ausübung ihrer Rechte verzichten.

This chapter examines risk surrounding cloud computing and the contracts governing its use. Cloud computing is defined based on the US NIST Five Essential Characteristics of Cloud Architecture. Leading regulation and guidelines include MiFID, EBA Guidelines, ESMA Guidelines, and FCA SYSC rules. EBA and ESMA guidelines are similar. Critical or important cloud computing functions must be managed, based on the criteria of (a) a firm's compliance with its regulatory obligations, or (b) financial performance, or (c) the soundness or continuity of a firm's main services and activities. Checking and potentially re-negotiating legal documentation. Common risk themes are covered, such as data loss, change migration risk and concentration risk. Data protection regulation and case law. EDPB guidance. English High Court cases of potential relevance to cloud computing contracts. The chapter finishes by pointing out cloud computing forms part of ESG reporting. Further, the use of QC via a limited range of cloud computing providers will raise competition issues.
