cloud computing basic

Let’s understand the cloud and understand why should we

understand?

Agenda

• So that– We make our own understanding of cloud– we never discuss the question again

• So that we discuss questions (with quality) like– What are possible research / business in cloud– How to they provide / implement security

Self Service Slide {SSS-30S}

– Standard defintion

• A model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.

• This cloud model promotes availability and is composed of five essential characteristics, three service models, and four deployment models.

33

Lets break it: Cloud is a model…• Which enables access to computing resources

– Convenient– On demand and network access

• computing resources can be– Readily provisioned– Readily released

• With– Minimal management efforts

• Without– Service Provider Interaction

• Should focus/promote– Availability

44

What we need to mug up!

• 5 Essential Characteristics• 4 deployment Models• 3 Service Models

55

Characteristics

• On Demand Self Service• Resource Pooling• Rapid Elasticity• Broad Network Access• Measured Service– Metering/monitoring tools

66

Just Imagine• Develop a B2B networking site and now if needs to be

served– Order server– Install server in the data center– Provision an IP address for the server– Set up the DNS– Install OS– Hire a Administrator if Linux – -– -– - forgot – u need space to keep that server ! And you know

the prices for office space

Use heroku• Ruby cloud platform as a service• You need ruby and git on your computer• Your application need to be in ruby.• We need to install command line tool from

heroku• gem install heroku• You are ready to go.• Suppose application name is “test”– test.heroku.com

• On demand self service

Service Models

• Cloud Software as a Service {SaaS}• Cloud Platform as a Service {PaaS}• Cloud Infrastructure as a Service {IaaS}

Deployment Models

• Public Cloud• Community Cloud– Made available to certain group or association

• Private Cloud– Made available at only one particular association

• Hybrid Cloud

1313

Public Cloud

• A public cloud is a cloud made available to the general public for use

• is the most common type of cloud• Users of a public cloud sign up with the cloud

provider• make payments based on the provider's

pricing schema• Amazon Web Services, Google applications

Lets review

• Two things were developing together– network– Emulation

• Network became internet, web and web 2.0• Emulation also became intelligent and called

virtualization• And then they combined.

What is cloud• Email service is cloud

– Software as a service– Provider needed only folders to represent users– Idea was caught early as it was file system + web interface

client server

Email protocolBackend

• Google docs, office live are just rich web 2.0 applications / SaaS

– Salesforce.com started the same in CRM1818

What’s new then?

• For example Heroku {yes I am repeating}– Ruby cloud platform as a service– You need ruby and git on your computer– Your application need to be in ruby.– We need to install command line tool from heroku– gem install heroku– You are ready to go.– Suppose application name is “test”• test.heroku.com

1919

Hmm..• I already g0t a online development tools• I already g0t the free web hosting• Then what’s new?– YES. Nothing: they are combined now intelligently– Added the characteristics as described earlier

• Its possible because of virtualization• And if combined with power of data centers• And Streaming over HTTP like YouTube

2020

So what’s the conclusion• I tried to simplify/put in different context the definition

of cloud computing so system programmers who programmed very less either on web or virtualization can understand

• Software as a service– A innovative web 2.0 application / software through web

• Platform as a service– Preconfigured virtual machine with web interface and if

output is required on web – a URL• Infrastructure as a service– Non configured VM [empty virtual hard disk] with web

interface to configure it also.

So. I want…

• People can learn driver programming on the web using some website learnwindriver.domain.com or learnlinuxdrivers.domain.com or

• In this case we are providing platform as a service– Student need to write own driver and test– What matters how we give him the interface

2424

Then cloud, grid ?

• Aren’t the same or related?• We understood cloud, ok revisit the Grid once.• In a grid computing system, networked

computers are able to access and use the resources of every other computer on the network.

• So Grid is actually making the backend of cloud to provide the scalability

We understand

this

This is cloud

28

Of course• Without much innovative effort we can become a

cloud provider who provides infrastructure as a service

• Innovation is required in maintaining huge number of customers and performance– So this can be moved to data center with high storage

capacity– Computing can be done in the grid– GRID can not be claimed as equivalent to IaaS

• Now from here this become complex • So I will finish.
