Khanista Namee, Sirinun Karnbunjong, Jantima Polpinij · 2019
The aim of this paper is to propose a new technique to operate a web application on a cloud platform based on the integration of multiple services which could benefit in the cost reduction of renting a cloud. Two of the most important functions are file server function and task management function. The purpose of study is to experiment this concept and technique. It is tested on Microsoft Azure platform since it is a cloud platform that covers all services required. These services are helpful in the operation of storing and retrieving data file in the created file server. Data is then displayed on web browser. Task management function is helpful in making notification to all 3 involved applications which are Trello, Microsoft To-Do, and Microsoft Planner. The operation starts with user's data input being processed in the function to create task list on the application. Test result is satisfactory i.e. the designed technique is able to function completely as normal website function and web application. Its main feature is the reduction of cloud rental fee because when service is open for user to access, the airtime fee is quite costly. Hence, with this new technique, the expense is calculated only when there is a data access from user which makes it much cheaper.
