Lesson 1: Overview of Cloud Computing
Topics covered in this lesson: Technological foundations of Cloud Computing Essential characteristics of Cloud Computing Benefits of Cloud Computing

Cloud Computing Primer

Cloud Computing: Technological Foundations

Technologies
Grid Computing

Description
Form of distributed computing which applies the resources of numerous computers in a network to work on a single complex task at the same time Service provisioning model that offers computing resources as a metered service

Utility Computing

Virtualization

Provides improved utilization of resources Enables optimization of resources by over subscription

An architectural approach in which applications make use of services available in the network Each service provides a specific function, for example, business function (Payroll Tax calculation)

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)

Cloud Computing Primer

Cloud Computing: Essential Characteristics

Cloud Computing Primer

On-Demand Self-Service

Enables consumers to get computing resources as

and when required, without any human intervention Facilitates consumer to leverage ready to use services or, enables to choose required services from the service catalog Allows provisioning of resources using self-service interface
Self-service interface should be user-friendly

Cloud Computing Primer

Broad Network Access

Cloud services are accessed via the network,

usually the internet, from a broad range of client platforms such as:
Desktop computer Laptop

Mobile phone
Thin Client

Eliminates the need for accessing a particular

client platform to access the services Enables accessing the services from anywhere across the globe

Cloud Computing Primer

Resource Pooling

IT resources (compute, storage, network) are

pooled to serve multiple consumers
Based on multi-tenant model

Consumer has no knowledge about the exact

location of the resources provided Resources are dynamically assigned and reassigned based on the consumer demand

Cloud Computing Primer

Rapid Elasticity

Ability to scale IT resources rapidly, as

required, to fulfill the changing needs without interruption of service
Resources can be both scaled up and scaled

down dynamically

To the consumer, the Cloud appears to be

infinite
Consumers can start with minimal computing

power and can expand their environment to any size

Cloud Computing Primer

10

Metered Service

Consumers are billed based on the metered usage of

Cloud resources
Cost incurred on a pay-per-use basis

Pricing/billing model is tied up with the required service

levels

Resource usage is monitored and reported, which

provides transparency for chargeback to both Cloud service provider and consumer about the utilized service

Cloud Computing Primer

Cloud Offering Examples

Pay-As-You-Go
Salesforce.com, EMC Mozy, Atmos, Google App Engine, Amazon EC2

I want secured backup of my files, so that I can retrieve data from anywhere, anytime My organization needs to grow, but cannot spend much to buy new servers, storage

I need a word processing application for a brief period to prepare my documents

My organization wants to test a software in different platform before investing on it

Cloud Computing Primer

Cloud Computing Benefits

Benefit
Reduced IT Cost

Description
Avoids the up-front capital expenditure Provides the ability to add new resources quickly Scales up and down easily and instantly, based on demand Ensures application availability at varying levels, depending on policy and priority of the application Enables organizations to reduce power consumption and space usage

Business agility support Flexible scaling

High availability

Less energy consumption

Lesson 2: Cloud Services and Deployment Models
Topics covered in this lesson: Cloud service models SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS Cloud deployment models Private, Public, Hybrid, and Community Economics of Cloud Challenges of Cloud

Cloud Computing Primer

14

Cloud Service Models

Cloud Service can be classified into three categories: Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)

Cloud Computing Primer

15

Infrastructure-as-a-Service

Provides capability to the

consumer to hire infrastructure components such as servers, storage, and network Enables consumers to deploy and run software, including OS and applications Pays for infrastructure components usage, for example, Storage capacity, CPU usage, etc.
Consumer

Application Databases OS Compute Storage Network

Hired Resources

Cloud Computing Primer

16

IaaS Examples

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is an IaaS model that

provides resizable compute capacity on a pay-per-use basis
Allows consumers to hire virtual compute on which they run their own

applications

EMC Atmos Online provides Storage as a service

Internet accessible, on demand storage

Cloud Computing Primer

17

Platform-as-a-Service

Consumer

Capability provided to the

consumer to deploy consumercreated or acquired applications on the Cloud providers infrastructure Consumer has control over
Deployed applications
Application Databases OS Compute Storage Network

Hired Resources

Possible application hosting

environment configurations

Consumer is billed for platform

software components
OS, Database, Middleware

Cloud Computing Primer

18

PaaS Examples

Google App Engine provides platform for consumers to deploy

or create their own applications
Allows dynamic allocation of system resources for an application based

on the actual demand Provides Java and Python environment to create and deploy application

Microsoft Azure Platform provides diverse functionalities to

build applications
Uses existing skills with Visual Studio and .Net to build applications Builds applications also in Java and PHP using Eclipse and other tools

Cloud Computing Primer

19

Software-as-a-Service

Capability provided to the consumer

to use providers applications running in a Cloud infrastructure Complete stack including application is provided as a service Application is accessible from various client devices, for example, via a thin client interface such as a Web browser Billing is based on the application usage

Consumer

Application Databases OS Compute Storage Network

Hired Resources

Cloud Computing Primer

20

SaaS Examples

EMC Mozy is a Software-as-a-Service solution for on-line

backup
Consumers can leverage the Mozy console to perform automatic,

secured, online backup and recovery of their data with ease

Salesforce.com is a Software-as-a-Service solution for CRM

application
Consumers can access CRM applications from anywhere, any time

Economics of Cloud

Cloud has changed the economics of IT Cloud enables to move from a CAPEX to an OPEX model Cloud provides the following key cost savings
Infrastructure cost Management cost Power and energy cost

Cloud Computing Primer

Economics of Cloud Example: OnSite Vs. Cloud

Buying 1000 Servers (On-Site) Vs. Hiring 1000 server instances (Cloud)

On-Site
Cost Components
Server Hardware Network Hardware Hardware Maintenance Operating System Power and Cooling Data Center Construction

Amazon EC2 Cloud

Cost Components
Instance Fees and Usage Data Transfer

Annual TCO = $2,572,634

Annual TCO = $233,213

Cloud Challenges Consumers Perspective

Security and Regulation

Consumers are indecisive to transfer

Network latency

control of sensitive data Regulation may prevent organizations to use Cloud services
Real time applications may suffer due

Supportability

to network latency and limited bandwidth

Legacy or Custom applications may

Interoperability

not be compatible with Cloud platform

Lack of standardization across Cloud-

based platforms
Cloud Computing Primer 28

Cloud Challenges Providers Perspective

Service warranty and service cost

Resources must be kept ready to meet unpredictable demand

Hefty penalty, if SLAs are not fulfilled

Huge numbers of software to manage

Huge number of applications and platform software to purchase ROI is unpredictable

No standard Cloud access interface

Cloud customers want open APIs Need agreement among Cloud providers for standardization
