CLOUD PLATFORM FOCUSING ON SECURITY
From the intended development of this project, it is to create an online system for JKL Healthcare Services; however, this business pays attention to the security of the application at the highest level. Instead of Microsoft Azure, Python Flask is used for backend development for its features of flexibility and security is offered. The security of this system necessarily contributes to authentication of users, and data that are used within the services of healthcare. It comprises the delivery of an operational model that would have been created and run on a cloud platform, a rudimentary report over developmental, comparative, and legal aspects of the project. The source code for the software application can be accessed from a private repository within the GitHub.
Figure 1: Package.jeson
This has the appearance of indicating the structure or a file of a package in a project with the React framework. These are the dependencies and their respective versions some of which are: dependencies, react, react-scripts, testing-library/react, react-router-Done 3 It also contains script commands for creating, and/or starting, and even testing the application alongside the ejecting process as well. And there, we have a section for browser compatibility which enables support for the newest versions of browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. It is included in the project specification; explaining how the app has to be developed and how it has to be validated.
Figure 2: app.js
The image looks like a fragment of the code of an application made using React and, more specifically, the routing settings. It involves importation of parts such as the “Header”, the “Footer” as well as the “Services”. The `App` component of the present application uses the services of React Router to define the path of different pages namely Home, Services, Blog and Careers. Each route has a path tied to it and whenever a path is invoked then it makes a specific component appear. This lay out structure incorporate a new segment called ‘Footer’ which is at the bottom of the page. It makes it possible for the user to be transferred to relevant pages based on the user’s navigation within the application. It is along this line that the code cannot be completed as it should due to some formatting issues.
Figure 3: api.js
The image is a code snippet of how to create API using axios for making HTTP requests. It defines a base URL pointing to a local server (`http://localhost:8080/api`). Several functions are exported for handling different operations: `getUsers’ reads user data, `createUser’ writes new user data while `registerUser’ and `loginUser’ are used to register users and login to the system in turn; `createAppointment’ writes appointment data. Again, a request interceptor for Axios is used to append token values gotten from the local storage to the headers if there is to make the API call more secure. The kind of coding is in order to support back end communication.
Figure 4: Backend import library
The screenshot below shows Python code used in creating a Flask backend: Several namespacing is necessary and includes; Flask for web creation; request, jsonify; SQLAchemy for connecting the database; and CORS from flask_cors. The `security` namespace is also imported, maybe for resource identification, or for the authorization of access. Business rules of `datetime` contain the functionalities of day and time, and the utility `os` used for the system related purposes. In addition, “dotenv” which stands for handling environment variables, is imported. The script does some cooking for the backend for a few secure API actions.
Figure 5: Backend jwt and mysql connection
In this image, backend configuration of Python script is Flask, Sqlalchemy & JWT. For such inputting it uses ‘os.getenv()’ command so as to ensure it has high security especially when it involves passwords in the environment. The result was that ‘SQLAlchemy’ is furnished with the flask integration of the database and the db object for MySQL connection. To use the database, two classes are defined as model classes – the User and the Appointment. This is in the `User` class and such fields defined include; `@id()`, `@username()’ and ‘@email()’ with the latter having the ‘`@unique=true’` parameter. The `Appointment` class defines what sort of appointment information there is, when the class has a foreign key relation to the `User` class. JWT is most probably used for, or should be — as described — used for authentication.
Figure 6: Backend api
The picture illustrates the Python script which is designed for the users’ registration, as well as creation of the appointment. The `register` function takes a request and then uses SHA-256 to create a hash for the password. If the email is valid the user is registered otherwise a message with status 401 or 403 will be returned. The `login` function generates a token for the user and the access token in the instance of a login. There is another function createAppointment which is used to create appointments; the function takes details from the request and stores it in the database and returns a string message to whoever making the request stating that the appointment was created successfully with the status code of 201.

Overall, the project builds the secure online system prototype plan of JHL HealthCare Services though is not applying Microsoft Azure as suggestion. It also validates the user identification in addition to the protection of data – which is the basic requirement that comes from the given task. The flexibility that Flask offers alongside its quality security measures make it easy to build a prototype that can be uploaded on the right cloud services to protect the data and functionality needed. Files of the project are shared with a private GitHub repository for purposes of the collaborative work. This paper is the report of the claims which aim to explain the functioning of the system, its security measures and the legal framework to support the legal admissibility of the system.
