The most suitable hashing algorithm from a performance perspective to maintain file integrity checks on a cloud object store is MD5 (Message Digest 5). MD5 is a hashing algorithm that generates a 128-bit hash value for any given input data. MD5 is faster and more efficient than other hashing algorithms, such as SHA-256 or SHA-512, which generate longer hash values and require more computational resources. MD5 can be used to verify the integrity of files by comparing their hash values before and after transmission or storage.

Maximum resource consumption is what will help predict the operational expenditures in the cloud for an application that is being migrated from on premises to a public cloud provider. Operational expenditures are the ongoing costs of running and maintaining a system or service, such as cloud resources or services. Operational expenditures can vary depending on various factors, such as usage, demand, performance, etc. Maximum resource consumption is the highest amount of resources or capacity that are used or consumed by a system or service during peak periods of activity or load. Maximum resource consumption can help predict operational expenditures in the cloud by providing information such as:

Resource type: This indicates what type of resources are used or consumed by the system or service, such as compute, storage, network, etc.

Resource amount: This indicates how much of each resource type are used or consumed by the system or service, such as CPU cores, memory, disk space, bandwidth, etc.

Resource price: This indicates how much each resource type costs in the cloud provider’s pricing model, such as per hour, per GB, per Mbps, etc.

A synthetic full backup is a type of backup that combines the latest full backup with all the subsequent incremental backups to create a new full backup. This type of backup will back up all the data from each VM daily while also saving space, as it does not require a new full backup every time and only transfers the changed data from the incremental backups.

The most useful tool in maintaining confidentiality for a new application stack that will store sensitive information and be accessible from the internet is data loss prevention (DLP). DLP is a type of security solution that monitors and controls the flow of data in and out of a system or network. It can detect and prevent unauthorized access, transmission, or leakage of sensitive data, such as personal information, financial records, or intellectual property. DLP can also enforce encryption, masking, or deletion of sensitive data to protect its confidentiality.
