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: Technological Foundations
Technologies Description
 Form of distributed computing which applies the
Grid Computing resources of numerous computers in a network to work on
a single complex task at the same time
• Service provisioning model that offers computing

Utility Computing resources as a metered service
• Provides improved utilization of resources

Virtualization • Enables optimization of resources by over subscription
• An architectural approach in which applications make use

Service Oriented of services available in the network
Architecture • Each service provides a specific function, for example,
(SOA) business function (Payroll Tax calculation)
Cloud Computing: Essential Characteristics
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
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
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
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
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 Offering Examples

Salesforce.com,
EMC Mozy, Atmos,
Google App Engine,

I want secured
backup of my files, so I need a word processing
that I can retrieve application for a brief
data from anywhere, period to prepare my
anytime documents
My organization needs to
grow, but cannot spend My organization wants to test
much to buy new servers, a software in different
storage platform before investing on it
Cloud Computing Benefits
Benefit Description
Reduced IT Cost • Avoids the up-front capital expenditure
Business agility support • Provides the ability to add new resources quickly
• Scales up and down easily and instantly, based on

Flexible scaling
demand
• Ensures application availability at varying levels,
High availability
depending on policy and priority of the application
• Enables organizations to reduce power
Less energy consumption
consumption and space usage
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 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)
Infrastructure-as-a-Service Consumer
• Provides capability to the

consumer to hire infrastructure
components such as servers, Application
storage, and network Databases
• Enables consumers to deploy and OS
run software, including OS and Compute

Hired Resources
applications Storage
• Pays for infrastructure components Network
usage, for example, Storage

capacity, CPU usage, etc.
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
Platform-as-a-Service Consumer
• Capability provided to the

consumer to deploy consumer-
created or acquired applications Application
on the Cloud provider’s Databases
infrastructure OS
• Consumer has control over Compute

Hired Resources
 Deployed applications Storage
 Possible application hosting Network
environment configurations
• Consumer is billed for platform
software components
 OS, Database, Middleware
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
Software-as-a-Service Consumer
• Capability provided to the consumer

to use provider’s applications
Application
running in a Cloud infrastructure
• Complete stack including application Databases
OS
is provided as a service
• Application is accessible from Compute
Hired Resources
Storage
various client devices, for example,
Network
via a thin client interface such as a
Web browser
• Billing is based on the application
usage
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

Community Users
• Cloud infrastructure is shared by several organizations and

supports a specific community that has shared concerns
• Managed by the organizations or by a third party
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 Challenges – Consumer’s Perspective
• Security and Regulation
 Consumers are indecisive to transfer
control of sensitive data
 Regulation may prevent organizations
to use Cloud services
• Network latency
 Real time applications may suffer due
to network latency and limited
bandwidth
• Supportability
 Legacy or Custom applications may
not be compatible with Cloud platform
• Interoperability
 Lack of standardization across Cloud-
based platforms
Cloud Challenges – Provider’s 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
