This service may be used to generate insights from of the logs, by running queries against these logs. The service must retain the log for at least 30 days.
Hardware Security Module
This service can be used where a dedicated hardware security module is required to create, manage and control keys. The HSM must comply with FIPS 140-2 Level 3 requirements.
Database Licences
Siddhast offer database licenses to Government Organizations which they can use in that particular CSP’s Cloud environment. These are unmanaged databases. All these databases would have enterprise support included.
Container computer service
Containers are the lightweight alternatives to Virtual Machines. Containers allow to encapsulate an application’s code, libraries, configuration and other dependent files into one single package. This packaging of the application and its dependent files offers improved developer productivity and environmental neutrality. The developers can continue focusing on improving/updating their applications without being worried about the different environments, such as development, test and production, in which their applications would be deployed and run.
Web Application Firewall
This service may be used to create rules to protect web applications from unwanted web traffic, hacks, brute force attacks, cross-site scripting, SQL injection, and other common exploits. The WAF must also provide protection against the OWASP top ten risks.
VPN Gateway
This service may be used to establish secure site to site connectivity between the subnets in Siddhast environment and Government Organization’s on-premises IT infrastructure. It can also be used to provide site to site connectivity two different subnets within the CSP’s Cloud environment.
Public IP
This service can be used to assign Public IP(s) to resources within a subnet in the Cloud environment.

Load Balancer
Load Balancer
Load balancer as a service has to act as a proxy and distributes networks of application traffic across a number of virtual servers. Virtual load balancer shall be capable to increase the capacity i.e. (concurrent users and reliability of the application across the virtual machines (VMs) ). The virtual server has to improve the overall performance of applications by decreasing the burden on virtual servers associated with managing and maintaining applications and network sessions as well as by performing application specific tasks.
Managed Database as a Service (Basic)
Managed Database as a Service (Basic)
Database as a Service is a managed service offering by the Cloud Service Providers wherein in operating system and all low level components such as drivers, I/O, network, etc. are managed and optimized by the Cloud Service Providers. All objects created using “Database as a Service” are transparent to the underlying operating system. Activities such as OS management, antivirus, encryption, hardening, etc. are included under this service. Automated failover, backup & recovery, isolation & security, scaling, automated patching, advanced monitoring, and routine maintenance are responsibilities of the CSP. Each database as a service will be offered by the Cloud Service Providers with a minimum storage inclusion of 50 GB HDD or 50 GB SSD. CSPs shall be required to provide a transparent view of the database activities managed by them
