Structure of CNM Cloud

CNM Cyber

Structure of CNM Cloud (hereinafter, the Lectio) is the lesson part of the CNM Cloud Essentials lesson that introduces its participants to CNM Cloud. This lesson belongs to the Introduction to CNM Cloud session of the CNM Cyber Orientation.

Content

The predecessor lectio is CNM App Groups.

Script

CNM Cloud is designed according to the service-oriented architecture (SOA) concept. Its software systems are discrete and are able to operate independently. However, they feature clear and simple interfaces; communication protocols are used to orchestrate the systems, so they can work together if needed.

CNM Cloud Foundation, WorldOpp Middleware, and CNM apps form the structure of CNM Cloud.

CNM apps are most visible parts of CNM Cloud; they are those end-user applications that you communicate with directly. However, these apps require their environment and orchestration.

CNM Cloud Foundation is the basis of this environment; the Foundation provides functionality for both the apps and the Middleware. The environment includes its operating systems, web servers, database management systems, and support for programming languages.

WorldOpp Middleware is used for system orchestration. In information technology, that orchestration refers to the automated configuration, coordination, and management of software systems.

The Middleware provides CNM apps with those services that are central for the Cloud and cannot be provided by the Foundation. Particularly, the Middleware handles user permissions and rights throughout the whole Cloud.

Available vs Custom Code is the successor lectio.
