Big Data In Practice – Jitender Jain

Log all input and output events for traceability. Separate compute from storage so scaling decisions remain independent. Combine serverless triggers with batch clusters for hybrid processing. These principles lead to systems that are responsive, cost-effective, and resilient to workload spikes. The following figure shows how serverless functions trigger autoscaling clusters that produce analytics outputs: Figure 5.3: Integration of serverless functions and autoscaling clusters in a cloud-based data architecture This flow illustrates how event-driven functions act as entry points that trigger larger jobs on autoscaling clusters.
Monitoring and scaling policies work together to adjust compute resources while ensuring consistent performance. Hybrid and multi-cloud strategies for AI workloads As data systems grow in scale and complexity, many organizations choose hybrid and multi-cloud strategies instead of relying on a single provider. These approaches combine the strengths of public clouds, private data • • • • • • • centers, and sometimes multiple cloud vendors.
The goal is to balance performance, cost, and compliance while ensuring that AI and analytics workloads can access data wherever it resides. A hybrid cloud combines on-premises or private infrastructure with public cloud services. It is often used when regulations or data-sovereignty rules require sensitive data to remain within company boundaries. A multi-cloud setup, on the other hand, distributes workloads across two or more public clouds such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. This provides flexibility, avoids vendor lock-in, and enables teams to use the best tools from each platform.
The following are the benefits of hybrid and multi-cloud models: Flexibility to place workloads where they perform best. Better resilience through geographic and provider diversity. Optimized costs by choosing the most efficient services per task. Compliance with data-residency and industry regulations. Access to specialized hardware such as graphics processing units (GPUs) or Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) for AI training. Hybrid data architecture Hybrid environments often use a mix of on-premises data warehouses and cloud data lakes connected through secure networking. Data is synchronized or replicated to ensure consistency between environments.
Key components include: Secure connectivity: Virtual private networks (VPNs), direct connections, or private links connect on-prem systems to cloud platforms. Data replication: Services like AWS DataSync or Azure Data Factory move data between storage layers. • • • • • • • • • • • • Consistent governance: Unified identity, encryption, and cataloging help maintain compliance. Edge processing: Small compute nodes near data sources handle preprocessing before sending data to the cloud. The following are the example scenarios: A bank that stores sensitive customer information on-premises but runs analytics on anonymized datasets in the cloud.
A retail chain that processes transactions locally while sending aggregated sales trends to a cloud AI model. Multi-cloud integration for AI workloads In a multi-cloud setup, each provider contributes unique strengths to the overall architecture. For example, an organization may store data in S3, train AI models on Google Cloud GPUs, and visualize results through Azure Synapse.
