How the collapse of local cloud provider caused biz continuity issues in UK government
- The collapse of a local cloud hosting service caused business continuity issues in the UK government.
- UKCloud and its parent company Virtual Infrastructure Group were forced into liquidation in October 2022.
- The UK government had contracts with UKCloud, which had clients including central and local governments, the police, the Ministry of Defence, and the NHS.
- The dominance of leading cloud vendors like AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google limits the government's choices and the effort to introduce UK-based competition has caused disruption.

- Service IDs represent applications or services, enabling precise control over access to object storage resources.
- Service credentials provide authentication details for secure programmatic access to object storage services.
- HMAC credentials are essential for signing API requests and ensuring integrity in object storage systems.
- IAM best practices include implementing least privilege, regular audits, and secure credential management.
- Major cloud providers like AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure offer object storage services with IAM implementations.
- Understanding IAM concepts and compliance requirements is essential for securing data stored in the cloud.
- Stay informed about the latest developments in IAM to maintain robust security in object storage implementations.
- Effective IAM, service IDs, and credentials management ensure data security, accessibility, and compliance.

Optimising Africa’s Use of Public Cloud Infrastructure
- Organizations have significantly increased their use of public clouds, with 60% of corporate data stored in the cloud in 2022, up from 30% in 2015.
- Top public cloud providers like AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud dominate the market, with 67% of total cloud market share in Q1 2024.
- Africa has a small share of global public cloud spend but holds significant growth potential due to the market value of enterprise and wholesale sectors.
- Cloud regions and availability zones are critical for ensuring resilience and reducing risks associated with data centre outages or disasters.
- Latency and data residency requirements drive the need for CSPs to establish multiple regions in Africa closer to end-users.
- Optimizing Africa's traffic routes to CSP regions in South Africa involves submarine cable connections and Internet Transit or Peering arrangements.
- ISPs can purchase Internet Transit from South African ISPs connected to CSPs or peer directly with CSPs through Private Network Interconnection (PNI) for optimal connectivity.
- Establishing peering with CSPs at Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) offers a cost-effective solution to facilitate traffic exchange within Africa.
- Growing IXPs in South Africa can lead to better traffic exchange, regional expansion, and improved connectivity to CSP regions in Africa.
- Initiatives like the African Internet Exchange System (AXIS) Project aim to enhance African IXPs into regional exchanges, supporting better traffic routing and investment incentives.

What Is IaaS? Meaning, Benefits and Examples Explained in 2025
- Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is a cloud service delivery model that offers foundational cloud infrastructure services with pay-as-you-go billing. The other two main cloud service models — PaaS (Platform as a Service) and SaaS (Software as a Service) — are built on IaaS solutions and are more abstracted than IaaS.
- The IaaS industry is expected to see its revenue grow to around $220 billion in 2025. One feature that highlights the flexibility of IaaS solutions is scalability. By default, most IaaS providers have a redundant architecture to prevent a single point of failure and permanent data loss.
- IaaS is important because it lowers the financial barrier for accessing computing resources. The advantages of IaaS center around cost-effectiveness, control and flexibility, while its disadvantages are generally related to configuration issues. IaaS is used for various workloads, including data storage, web services and applications, testing and development, and data analytics.
- IaaS vs PaaS vs SaaS - IaaS solutions provide the foundational resources for building other services. PaaS offers a preconfigured environment typically used for software development, and SaaS supplies ready-to-use software.
- In cloud computing, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is a delivery model characterized by giving users direct access to the underlying computing resources, including storage, networking, virtualization and compute. Why Is IaaS Important? IaaS is important because it lowers the financial barrier for accessing computing resources.
- IaaS vs PaaS vs SaaS - IaaS solutions provide the foundational resources for building other services. PaaS offers a preconfigured environment typically used for software development, and SaaS supplies ready-to-use software.
- Most cloud computing platforms offer IaaS services, including AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure and more. Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), Simple Storage Service (S3), and Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) are some IaaS examples from AWS.
- If you want to implement IaaS, you should evaluate your business needs and goals, explore your IaaS provider options, plan and design your architecture, deploy your resources and perform routine maintenance. Identify and access management is crucial to prevent unauthorized access to your cloud environment.
- IaaS solutions serve as the foundation for every cloud service; they form the building blocks on which other cloud services are built. Whether you are trying to build software or are configuring an environment to build it, the journey starts with IaaS solutions.
- The difference between SaaS and IaaS is that SaaS delivers ready-to-use software, while IaaS delivers the components you need to build a platform for developing software. The difference between IaaS and PaaS is that PaaS delivers an environment that’s ready for software development.

Building RAG Apps With Apache Cassandra, Python, and Ollama
- This article explains how to build Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) applications with Apache Cassandra, Python and Ollama.
- Each user request in RAG search systems is converted into a vector representation using embedding model. Existing vectors are stored in the vector database.
- Apache Cassandra facilitates high-scaling RAG use cases through its support of vector search in version 5.0.
- The article discusses dependencies, including the operating system (Ubuntu Linux), vector database (Apache Cassandra), embedding model (nomic-embed-text) and programming language (Python).
- Ollama is an open-source middleware server for generative AI that can be installed to run on a machine as a CLI and API to make models available to consume.
- The article details how to generate embedding using Ollama, set up the Apache Cassandra NoSQL database and query documents based on cosine similarity.
- Enterprise applications can use Apache Cassandra 5.0 from popular cloud vendors such as AWS, GCP, and Microsoft Azure and Ollama middleware with a VM compatible with Nvidia-powered GPU for running high-performance models.
- Hosting Apache Cassandra and Ollama can be done in a single Linux VM if the use case doesn't require high usage to lower the Total Cost of Ownership or to address Data Governance needs.
- Overall, this article aims to equip readers with the knowledge to build RAG applications using open source tools with good performance, without needing additional cloud subscription or services in the comfort of their machines/servers.
- However, going forward, this RAG application can be hosted in the cloud for scaling as an enterprise application compliant with scalable architectures.
