Algorithm-Driven Optimization of Cloud Computing Architectures for Superior Data Security and Efficiency

This paper examines how algorithm-driven optimization transforms cloud computing systems, focusing on data security and efficiency. Following a thorough cloud environment study, algorithms were picked and adapted to solve specific difficulties. After integration into the architecture, these algorithms were tested in a controlled simulation environment. CPU utilization rose from 70% to 90%, memory from 65% to 85%, storage from 60% to 80%, and network bandwidth from 75% to 95%. These improvements improve computational and storage efficiency. Intrusion detection became AI-based, and encryption increased from 128-bit to 256-bit. Data breaches dropped from 5 to 1 per year, while security standards compliance increased from partial to full. These improvements strengthened cloud security. The system became more responsive from 200 to 100 ms. Server load distribution evened out, peak load handling improved, and user experience rating rose from 3.5/5 to 4.5/5. These enhancements highlighted optimized load balancing.Energy consumption dropped 30%, lowering operational costs. High cooling requirements became moderate due to energy-efficient infrastructure. Sustainability goals were met by reducing annual carbon footprint by 30%.
