CLOUD COMPUTING

What is cloud Computing.?
Cloud computing adoption is a key strategy for many organizations. The significant business and technical advantages offered by the cloud are changing the landscape of how many companies and corporations operate on a huge scale.

Put simply, cloud computing is a remote virtual pool of on-demand shared resources offering compute, storage, and network services that can be rapidly deployed at scale.

Cloud computing technology is based on virtualization. Virtualization allows the possibility of having multiple virtual machines, each essentially running a separate operating system and applications installed on one physical server.

These VMs all run at the same time without being aware of each other’s existence, while sharing the underlying hardware resources of the server.

There are obvious benefits of virtualization including reduced capital expenditure. Because you can have multiple VMs installed on one physical host, you don’t need to purchase as much physical hardware. Less hardware means a smaller footprint for your data center or server farm, and lower costs for power and cooling. In a cloud environment, the optimization of resourcing and equipment means that everyone who uses the infrastructure—both vendors and consumers—can benefit from this approach.

Now, just a quick note before we leave the topic of virtualization. A VM within the public cloud is sometimes referred to as an instance. This term is very vendor specific, but it refers to the same object as a virtual machine.

Cloud Computing resources
When discussing cloud computing resources, it won’t be long before you come across the following terms: compute, storage, and network resources. A clear understanding of all cloud resources is essential for identifying what services you want to move to a cloud, should you decide to do so.

• Compute
Compute objects provide the brains to process your workload, including what is required to process and run requests from your applications and services. In the cloud, compute resources compare to the hardware devices with CPUs and RAM, typically your servers, and how they work in a classic, on-the-ground environment.

• Storage
Storage resources simply allow you to save your data across a shared environment. Any object that allows you to save your data in the cloud is a storage resource. In a typical environment, these would be seen as server hard discs, network attached storage (NAS) used for file-level shared storage access over the network, and the high-speed storage area network (SAM), which is block-level shared storage accessed over a high-speed network.

• Network Resources
These provide the connectivity that allows all of the other resources to communicate with each other. In a typical environment, this would be accomplished through hardware such as routers (to route traffic between your networks), switches (which provide the background of network connectivity that allows other hosts to talk to one another), and firewalls (to allow or deny traffic into the environment).

If we go back to our original definition of what is cloud computing, we can say that it is a remote virtual pool of on-demand shared resources offering compute, storage, and network services that can be rapidly deployed at scale.

How does cloud computing work?

Cloud management platforms provide an interface for users and organizations to manage their cloud resources. These platforms allow users to create and manage resources, including compute instances, storage, networking, and other services. Cloud management platforms also provide a way to manage and deploy applications and workloads on the cloud.

Cloud management platforms can be used to manage public and private clouds. They can also be used to manage multiple cloud providers, allowing users to switch between providers without having to recreate their resources.

Cloud management platforms are often used by organizations to standardize their cloud deployments. They can also be used to automate tasks, such as creating and managing resources, or deploying applications and workloads.

Types of cloud computing
There are three typical types of cloud computing (also named models) categorized by different levels of management and security:

📌Public
📌 private
📌 Hybrid.

I think this is just a tip on Cloud computing, You can also make more research for clarity.

How do I go about cloud Computing.?

The British singer, who recently shed light on the major reason she broke up with Burna Boy, revealed that he couldn’t satisfy her in bed.

BURNA BOY’S FAMILY.

SAMUEL OGULU

Samuel is from Mbiama, Rivers State, Nigeria. In his youthful days he (Samuel) was a lover of music, particularly Fuji music and highlife.

His wife’s father was Fela Anikulapo Kuti’s manager. Little wonder his son (Burna Boy) always infuses an aspect of Fela’s brand in his music videos. His wife’s father, Benson Idonije always fancied musicians and the gods smiled on him when his daughter conceived and brought forth Burna Boy into the world. It was a dream come true.

Hometown: Mbiama, Rivers State, Nigeria

Wife: Bose Ogulu

Children: Damini Ogulu, Ruonami Ogulu, Nissi Ogulu.

Samuel and his wife are lovers of music. That is why when their son chose music as a career they were quick to support him. To prove their endorsement his wife even managed Burna Boy at some point until he got a new manager.

In 2017 Samuel Ogulu was drill for over two hours by the Investigating Police Officer (IPO) who asked him to produce his son who was currently on the run for his alleged involvement in the attack on David Abiye alias 2Kay.

Growing up, Samuel had to listen to the music of Fela even though he initially never liked them. However, as time went by, and as his father Benson Idonije continued to play the legend’s tune he (Samuel) developed a soft spot for not only the tracks, but for Fela himself.

Samuel Ogulu is married to Bose Ogulu with whom they had three children, 1 boy, 2 girls.

Burna Boy is not only the first child but the only male child. He is also one of Nigeria’s best musician. He is famous all over the world for tracks like Ye, Gbona, Deja vu, Smoke some weed, Tonight and a lot more tunes.

On June 19 2016, media experts, business personalities and friends gathered to honour singer Burna Boy’s grandfather Benson Idonije – who was Fela Anikulapo Kuti’s first manager – as he turned 80.

Burna Boy’s parents also stepped out for the event which held at Freedom Park on Lagos Island. The crowd was agog at the sight of Samuel Ogulu whom they termed the rare gem whose chip thrills them with great songs.

Samuel Ogulu net worth cannot be ascertained. However, it is only fair to assume that his son’s money is his money, hence Samuel is worth millions of dollars.

He lives in his mansion in Port Harcourt with his wife. It would be unsafe to publish his house address and I’m stunned you’d even expect such info.

Mr Samuel is a lover of anything moderate. You can tell from his simple cars, simple lifestyle of avoiding media attention as much as he can and also for grooming a simple and easy going son like Burna Boy.

Reaction Trail Chimamanda Adichie’s open letter to Biden on Outcome Of Presidential Elections.

Amid the plethora of controversies that have plagued the February 25 presidential elections across the 774 Local Government Areas of Nigeria, reactions have begun trailing an open letter written by internationally-acclaimed author and poet, Chimamanda Adichie to the United States government explaining why it cannot congratulate the winner of the just-concluded polls, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

In the letter, titled ‘Nigeria’s Hollow Democracy’ which was published via The ATLANTIC, Adichie insisted that a member of the Biden administration goofed for congratulating Tinubu despite the glaring irregularities, which included INEC’s failure to transmit results of the presidential elections, voter intimidation, widespread violence, and snatching of ballot boxes.

Going further, the renowned novelist revealed that she supported Peter Obi of the Labour Party because Nigerians were assured repeatedly that their votes would count as a result of the deployment of technology during the polls.

Quite interestingly, Adichie’s letter has elicited a flurry of mixed reactions from Nigerians online as many trooped to the comments section to share their thoughts.

While some persons lauded her decision to make her voice heard in the controversial presidential election, others, however, accused her of deliberately speaking ill of her country to the international community.

World Health Day: Over 600 million Africans lack access to quality health care- WHO

The COVID-19 pandemic, health emergencies, and worsening climate situations negatively impact the continent’s efforts to accelerate progress toward achieving Universal Health Coverage.

The COVID-19 pandemic, health emergencies, and worsening climate situations negatively impact the continent’s efforts to accelerate progress toward achieving Universal Health Coverage.
ByNike Adebowale-Tambe April 7, 2023 Reading Time: 2 mins read
About 672 million Africans, representing 48 per cent of the continent’s population, still lack access to the quality health care they need, WHO Regional Director for Africa, Matshidiso Moeti, has said.

Ms Moeti, in a statement to commemorate the 2023 World Health Day (WHD), said this is due to weak health systems characterised by inadequate health infrastructure; poorly designed policies to limit financial barriers to health services

She also identified the shortage of qualified health workers; inadequate access to quality medicines, medical products, and innovative technologies as part of the causes of the health crisis on the continent.

She said the COVID-19 pandemic, health emergencies, and worsening climate situations negatively impact the continent’s efforts to accelerate progress toward achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC).

“Health emergencies, many of which are driven by climate change, often disrupt access to safe water and sanitation services, increasing the risk of waterborne and vector-borne diseases,” she said.

The official, however, said strengthening health systems based on strong Primary Health Care (PHC) is crucial to building back better and accelerating progress towards UHC and health security.

She also noted that financial investment in PHC oriented by the building blocks of health systems, particularly a health workforce, health infrastructure, medicines, and health technologies, should be supported and guided by evidence.

“Ensuring additional investment to improve financial risk protection, addressing inequities, and building the resilience of national health systems in the post-COVID era is critical to our efforts to accelerate progress towards UHC in the African Region,” she said.

WHD
World Health Day is marked on 7 April annually to draw attention to specific health topics of concern globally.

The theme of the WHD 2023 is “Health for All – Strengthening PHC to Build Resilient Systems,”. The day also coincides with World Health Workers Week which runs from 7 to 11 April with the theme “Investing in the Health Work Force.

Ms Moeti said the day serves as a reminder to all to work towards achieving UHC by 2030.

She said UHC represents the aspiration that quality health services should be received by everyone when and where needed, without incurring financial hardships

“Beyond health and wellbeing, UHC also contributes to social inclusion, gender equality, poverty eradication, economic growth, and human dignity.”

She said although most member states in the African region have integrated the attainment of UHC as a central goal of their national health strategies, progress remains varied in translating this progress into equitable and quality services as well as increasing financial protection for the population.

WHO at 75
Ms Moeti said WHO was founded 75 years ago with an ambitious objective, “the attainment of all peoples of the highest possible level of health.”

Important achievements have been realised towards the aspirations of the leaders who founded WHO. Smallpox, which claimed an estimated 300 million lives in the 20th century alone, has been eradicated. Since 1974, millions of children have received life-saving vaccines and other child survival interventions,” She said.

“In 2020, the WHO Africa Region received certification for eradicating wild polioviruses.

“Scaling up essential health services and coverage with key interventions has yielded results. Between 2011 and 2021, new HIV infections in the WHO African Region were reduced by 44 per cent and AIDS-related deaths by 55 per cent. TB deaths in the region fell by 26 per cent between 2015 and 2021.”

She expressed appreciation to governments, development partners, civil society, academia, the private sector, and communities for their commitment and contribution to achieving our collective effort of health for all.

“I am proud to have worked alongside all of you these past years. I look forward to a renewed collaboration and determination to make even more progress in the years to come,” she said.

2023 elections, proof no more easy route to power – Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari says the 2023 elections proved the growing strength of Nigeria’s democracy and the sophistication of the Nigerian voter when it comes to the choice of leaders.

His media aide, Malam Garba Shehu, stated in Abuja on Thursday that the president made the remark when he hosted the newly-installed Emir of Dutse, Alhaji Muhammad Sunusi, who visited him.

Buhari noted that the failure of 10 sitting governors to get elected into the Senate showed that there was no longer a guaranteed route to power and the voter is truly the king when it comes to choices.
“It is a testament to the maturity of our democracy and to the amazing sophistication of the voter.

“What shocked me was that the ordinary citizen who was usually underrated made the point of his political understanding of things.

“Assumption is always that you are a governor for eight years and you go to the Senate to crown the career.

“No one should underrate the Nigerian voter anymore. Politics will be more difficult, henceforth,’’ the president observed.

After listening to the emir who listed projects executed in Jigawa by the Buhari administration and requested for more, the president promised to do his best for the state in his remaining time in office.

He also pledged to brief incoming-President Bola Tinubu on the requests made and noted that the particular problem of water shortage in Dutse was worrisome.

The president told the emir and his entourage that he and the nation would continue to miss his friend, the late emir, Alhaji Nuhu Sunusi, saying that he would continue to pray for the repose of the deceased.

Earlier, the emir and the leader of the delegation, Alhaji Muhammad Hamim thanked the Buhari administration for helping Jigawa to excel in rice production and for approving a rail link to Dutse from Kano.

The traditional ruler also lauded the president for the restoration of peace to the state, to the entire country and to neighbouring countries that had suffered past insecurity.

Emir Sunusi earlier welcomed the upgrading of the Army Battalion in Dutse to a full military Brigade and requested the president to address the acute water shortage being experienced in the Jigawa capital.

“I’m not a sex symbol”- Nancy Isime.

Nancy Isime is a Nigerian actress, model, and media personality. In addition to “House of Marie,” “Ade Bakere,” “Adebayo Jones,” “Zizi Cardow,” “Shakara Couture,” and “Konga Online,” Nancy Isime has modeled for a variety of illustrious businesses. She triumphed at the Miss Valentine International pageant in 2009. Every since her acting career started in 2011, she has been a sought-after actress and well-known household name.

When Ehiz asked if she considered herself one, she said, “Aye!” Do you know the funniest part? No. I would never know why people say that. Because as a woman, you don’t even need to do anything to be a sex symbol. People just always want to make everything about you about sex. Commenting on whether she’s aware that many consider her a sex symbol, the actress said, “I know. And it’s weird. Because what did I do? It’s just weird. because I don’t even know. See the thing I’m talking about? I have no makeup on. Literally, I have a hat on. I’m all covered up. I see myself as a crush symbol. “You’re my crush,” “he crush,” “e crusher,” but sex symbol? I don’t get that a lot. Yeah, I know there are probably fantasies about that. And it also happens with being a single woman. Maybe when I get married, all of that dies down a little bit. I feel like when you’re married, that kind of dies down. Some sick people still stay and say they want to have sex with you when you’re married, but as a sex symbol, I don’t see myself as that.

Recently, the media personality talked about the kinds of actors she likes to share intimate scenes with. She preffered actors who are veterans, who understands that it’s only a script.
