Part A: Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Amazon Web Services (AWS), launched in 2006, represents a pivotal moment in the history
of cloud computing, marking the entry of Amazon into the cloud services market. As a pioneer
in cloud infrastructure services, AWS offered scalable and cost-effective cloud computing
solutions to businesses and individuals. Among its suite of services, Amazon EC2 (Elastic
Compute Cloud) and Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) emerged as the most popular,
fundamentally changing how companies approach computing and data storage. EC2 provided
resizable compute capacity in the cloud, allowing users to run applications on Amazon's
computing environment. S3 offered secure, durable, and highly-scalable object storage, making
it easier for developers to store and retrieve any amount of data from anywhere on the web.
These services not only demonstrated the practicality and efficiency of cloud computing but
also set the stage for the rapid expansion of the cloud industry, with AWS leading the way as a
cornerstone of Amazon's business and a major driver of innovation in the tech world.
The Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud or EC2 permits users to pay for what they use. Servers
are ‘increased’ on demand and are ‘decreased’ when usage ceases. These instances are easily
virtual machines based on the peak of the Xen VM that are organized by Amazon’s interior
asset administration facility. The VMs are better renowned as elastic compute units (ECU),
which are pre-packaged and can be ‘ordered’ and one can easily choose and select what one
desires and pay for it after one is done. Pricing is done on the kind of ECU and size of data
moved or the time used.
4.1 AMAZON WEB COMPONENTS AND SERVICES

Web services allow applications developed using different programming languages, platforms,
and technologies to communicate with each other seamlessly. Web services are based on
standardized protocols such as SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) and REST
(Representational State Transfer), as well as data formats like XML (eXtensible Markup
Language) and JSON (JavaScript Object Notation). These standards provide a common
language for communication, making it easier for developers to understand and work with web
services.

Following is the list of the major constituents of EC2 which are briefed.
Amazon Machine Images and Instances

An Amazon Machine Image (AMI) is a template that comprises a software program configuration
(e.g., functioning scheme, submission server and applications). From an AMI, a client can launch
instances, which are running exact replicates of the AMI. Also he/she can launch multiple instances
of an AMI, as shown in Figure. Instances hold running until the client halts or terminates them, or
until they fail. If an instance falls short, it can be commenced from the AMI. One can use a lone
AMI or multiple AMIs counting on needs. From a lone AMI, distinct types of instances can be
launched. An instance type is vitally a hardware archetype.
Amazon publishes numerous AMIs that comprise widespread program configurations for public
use. In supplement, constituents of the AWS developer community have released their own made-
to-order AMIs.

2. Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes
Amazon S3
Amazon S3 is storage for the internet. It presents a straightforward World Wide Web service
interface that endows us to shop and get any amount of data from any location on the web. Amazon
EBS presents the instances with continual, block-level storage. Amazon EBS volumes are vitally
hard computer disks that can adhere to a running instance. Volumes are particularly matched for
submissions that need a database, a document system or get access to raw block-level storage.
One can adhere multiple volumes to an instance. To hold exact duplicate, a client can conceive a
snapshot of the volume. The user can furthermore detach a volume from an instance and adhere
it to a distinct one.
Databases
The submission running on EC2 might require a database.
The following are two widespread modes of applying a database for the application:
1. Use Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS), which endows us to effortlessly
get an organized relational database in the cloud.
2. Launch an instance of a database AMI and use that EC2 instance as the database.
Amazon RDS boasts the benefit of managing database administration jobs, for example,

to host and run applications. It presents a cloud functioning system called Windows Azure that
assists as a runtime for the applications and presents a set of services that permits development,
administration and hosting of applications off-premises. All Azure services and applications
created using them run on peak of Windows Azure.
Windows Azure has three centre components:
1. Compute which presents a computation environment with Web Role, Worker Role and
VM Role.
2. Storage which focuses on supplying scalable storage (Blobs, non-relational Tables and
Queues) for large-scale needs.
3. Fabric which values high-speed attachments and swaps to interconnect nodes comprising
some servers. Fabric resources, applications and services running are organized by the
Windows Azure Fabric Controller service.
The Compute Service

The Windows Azure Compute Service is designed to run a wide variety of applications,
especially those requiring support for a large number of simultaneous users through scalable
solutions. It achieves this by allowing applications to scale out across multiple servers, running
identical copies of the same code. This scalability is facilitated by the provision of multiple
instances, each operating within its own virtual machine (VM) running 64-bit Windows Server
2008, managed by a modified Hyper-V hypervisor for cloud integration. Developers access
and manage these applications via the Windows Azure portal, using a Windows Live ID to
create hosting and storage accounts for their applications. The development process for
Windows Azure applications employs the same languages and tools used for any Windows
application, with the option to use ASP.NET and Visual Basic or WCF and C# for web
functions.
The Storage Service
The Windows Azure Storage service offers several options for data storage, catering to different
application needs:
Blobs: The most straightforward method for storing data in Azure, blobs are designed for
storing binary data. A storage account can contain multiple containers, each holding one or
more blobs. Blobs can be up to 50 gigabytes in size and can include metadata, such as the
capture date of a JPEG image or the artist of an MP3 file.

Tables and Blobs: Both are aimed at storing and accessing data efficiently.
Queues: Serve a different purpose by facilitating communication between web instances and
worker instances, ensuring messages are passed seamlessly within applications.
All data stored in Windows Azure, whether in blobs, tables, or queues, is replicated three times
to ensure fault tolerance and data integrity, providing strong consistency. This means an
application reading data immediately after it's written will retrieve the exact data written.
Access to Windows Azure storage is not limited to Azure applications but extends to
applications running onpremises or on other host machines. Interaction with these storage
options is achieved through REST services, using URIs for identification and HTTP operations
for access. While .NET clients typically use the ADO.NET Data Services libraries for this
purpose, applications can also interact directly using raw HTTP calls.

structure prediction, each with its own strengths and challenges.
Key Methods in Protein Structure Prediction
1. Homology Modeling (Comparative Modeling):
This is the most accurate method when a clear homolog (sequence similarity) of the target
protein with known structure exists. The assumption is that similar sequences adopt similar
structures. This method involves aligning the amino acid sequence of the unknown protein
(target) with one or more proteins of known structure (template), followed by modeling the
target structure based on the template.
2. Ab Initio (De Novo) Modeling:
Used when no significant homology to proteins of known structure is found. This method
predicts protein structure from scratch, based on physical and biochemical principles. It often
involves simulating the folding process of a protein, which is computationally intensive and
less accurate than homology modeling for large proteins.
3. Fold Recognition (Threading):
This method is used when the target protein may not have a clear sequence homology to any
known structure but could share a similar folding pattern (tertiary structure). It involves
"threading" the sequence of the target protein through a database of known protein structures
to find a compatible fold, then building the model based on this fold.
4. Machine Learning and AI Approaches:
Recent advances have seen the application of deep learning and artificial intelligence to protein
structure prediction. Notably, AlphaFold by DeepMind has achieved remarkable success in
predicting protein structures with high accuracy, transforming the field. These methods use

additional services of a network such as VPN (Virtual Private Network), firewalls, load
balancing, and IDS (Intrusion Detection System).
Cinder (Block Storage)

Cinder is a service of OpenStack block storage that is used to provide volumes to Nova VMs,
containers, ironic bare-metal hosts, and more. A few objectives of cinder are as follows:
Open-standard: It is any reference implementation for the community-driven APIs.
Recoverable: Failures must be not complex to rectify, debug, and diagnose.
Fault-Tolerant: Separated processes ignore cascading failures.
Highly available: Can scale to serious workloads.
Component-based architecture: Include new behaviors quickly.
Cinder volumes facilitate persistent storage for guest VMs which are called instances. These
are handled by OpenStack compute software. Also, cinder can be used separately from other
services of OpenStack as software-defined stand-alone storage. This block storage system
handles detaching, attaching, replication, creation, and snapshot management of many block
devices to the servers.
Keystone (Identity)
Keystone is a service of OpenStack that offers shared multi-tenant authorization, service
discovery, and API client authentication by implementing Identity API of OpenStack.
Commonly, it is an authentication system around the cloud OS. Keystone could integrate with
various directory services such as LDAP. It also supports standard password and username
credentials, Amazon Web Services (AWS) style, and token-based systems logins. The catalog
of keystone service permits API clients for navigating and discovering various cloud services
dynamically.
Glance (Image)
The glance service (image) project offers a service in which users can discover and upload data
assets. These assets are defined to be applied to many other services. Currently, it includes
metadata and image definitions.
Images
Image glance services include retrieving, registering, and discovering VM (virtual machine)
images. Glance contains the RESTful API which permits querying of virtual machine metadata
and retrieval of an actual image as well. Virtual machine images are available because Glance

could be stored inside a lot of locations through common filesystems to various object-storage
systems such as the OpenStack Swift project.
Metadata Definitions
Image hosts a metadefs catalog. It facilitates an OpenStack community along with a path to
determine several metadata valid values and key names that could be used for OpenStack
resources.
Swift (Object Storage)

Swift is an eventually consistent and distributed blob/object-store. The object store project of
OpenStack is called Swift and it provides software for cloud storage so that we can retrieve
and store a large amount of data along with a general API. It is created for scale and upgraded
for concurrency, availability, and durability across the whole data set. Object storage is ideal to
store unstructured data that could grow without any limitations.
Rack space, in 2009 August, started the expansion of the forerunner to the OpenStack Object
Storage same as a complete substitution for the product of Cloud Files. The starting
development team includes nine developers. Currently, an object storage enterprise
(SwiftStack) is the prominent developer for OpenStack Swift with serious contributions from
IBM, HP, NTT, Red Hat, Intel, and many more.
Horizon (Dashboard)
Horizon is a canonical implementation of the Dashboard of OpenStack which offers the web-
based UI to various OpenStack services such as Keystone, Swift, Nova, etc. Dashboard shifts
with a few central dashboards like a "Settings Dashboard", a "System Dashboard", and a "User
Dashboard". It envelopes Core Support. The horizon application ships using the API
abstraction set for many projects of Core OpenStack to facilitate a stable and consistent
collection of reusable techniques for developers. With these abstractions, the developers
working on OpenStack Horizon do not require to be familiar intimately with the entire
OpenStack project's APIs.
Heat (Orchestration)
Heat can be expressed as a service for orchestrating more than one fusion cloud application
with templates by CloudFormation adaptable Query API and OpenStack-native REST API.
Mistral (Workflow)
Mistral is the OpenStack service that handles workflows. Typically, the user writes the
workflow with its language according to YAML. It uploads the definition of the workflow to
Mistral by the REST API. After that, the user can begin the workflow manually by a similar
API. Also, it configures the trigger for starting the workflow on a few events.
Ceilometer (Telemetry)
OpenStack Ceilometer (Telemetry) offers a Single Point of Contact for many billing systems,
facilitating each counter they require to build customer billing around every future and current
component of OpenStack. The counter delivery is auditable and traceable. The counter should
be extensible easily for supporting new projects. Also, the agents implementing data collections
must be separated from the overall system.
Trove (Database)

Trove is the database-as-a-service that is used to provision a non-relational and relational
engine of the database.
Sahara (Elastic map-reduce)

Sahara can be defined as a component for rapidly and easily provisioning Hadoop clusters.
Many users will define various parameters such as Hadoop version number, node flavor
information (RAM and CPU settings, specifying disk space), cluster topology type, and more.
After any user offers each parameter, Sahara expands the cluster in less time. Also, Sahara
offers a means for scaling a pre-existing cluster of Hadoop by removing and adding worker
nodes over demand.
Ironic (Bare metal)

Ironic is another project of OpenStack. It plans bare-metal machines rather than virtual
machines. Initially, Ironic was forked through the driver of Nova Bare metal and has derived
into an isolated project. It was the best idea as a plugin's set and bare-metal hypervisor API that
collaborate with various bare-metal hypervisors. It will apply IPMI and PXE in concert for
turning off and on and provisioning machines, although Ironic supports and could be developed
with vendor-specific plugins for implementing additional functionality.
Zaqar (Messaging)
Zaqar is a service to provide a multi-tenant cloud messaging facility for many web developers.
It offers a complete RESTful API that developers could apply for sending messages among
several components of the mobile and SaaS applications by applying a lot of patterns of
communication. This API is a powerful messaging engine developed with security and
scalability in mind. Some other components of OpenStack can develop with Zaqar for various
surface events and to interact with many guest agents that execute in an over-cloud layer.
Designate (DNS)
Designate can be defined as a REST API multi-tenant to manage DNS. It facilitates DNS as
the Service. This component is compatible with various backend technologies such as BIND
and PowerDNS. It doesn't offer the DND service as its goal is to interface using a DNS server
(existing) for managing DNS zones based on per tenant.
Manila (Shared file system)

OpenStack Manila (Shared file system) facilitates an open API for managing shares within the
vendor-agnostic structure. Standard primitives such as the ability to deny/give, delete, and
create access to any share. It can be applied in a range of different or standalone network
environments. Technical storage appliances through Hitachi, INFINIDAT, Quobyte, Oracle,
IBM, HP, NetApp, and EMC data systems can be supported and filesystem technologies as
well like Ceph and Red Hat GlusterFS.
Searchlight (Search)
Searchlight offers consistent and advanced search capabilities around many cloud services of
OpenStack. It accomplishes it by offloading the queries of user search through other API
servers of OpenStack by indexing the data into the ElasticSearch. This component is being
developed into Horizon. Also, it offers a command-line interface.
Magnum (Container orchestration)

Magnum is an API service of OpenStack improved by the containers team of OpenStack
making engines of container orchestration such as Apache Mesos, Kubernetes, and Docker
Swarm available as initial class resources within the OpenStack. Magnum applies heat for
orchestrating an operating system image that includes Kubernetes and Docker and executes
that particular image in bare metal or virtual machine inside the cluster configuration.
Barbican (Key manager)

Barbican is the REST API developed for the management, provisioning, and secure storage of
secrets. Barbican is focused on being helpful for each environment including huge ephemeral
Clouds.
Vitrage (Root Cause Analysis)

Vitrage is an OpenStack Root Cause Analysis (RCA) service to expand, analyze, and organize
OpenStack events and alarms, yielding various insights related to the problem's root cause and
reducing the existence before these problems are detected directly.
Aodh (Rule-based alarm actions)

This service of alarming allows the ability for triggering tasks based on specified rules against
event or metric data gathered by Gnocchi or Ceilometer.
