Cloud Computing
7. Cloud
• The term ‘Cloud’ is used as a metaphor for
internet
• Named after the cloud representation of the
Internet on a network diagram
• Professor Ramnath Chellappa was the first
to use the term "cloud computing" in 1997.
9. What is Cloud Computing?
Any situation in which computing is
done in a remote location rather than
on your desktop or portable device.
Using the Internet to access data and
services
10. Definition
• What is stored: Information, data, service….
• Where it is stored: In the Servers on the
Internet
• How to Get it: Sent to clients (browser)
temporarily via network
• Clients: Desktops, Tablets, Notebooks, Mobile
Phones, etc.
11. Cloud = Network-accessible resource pool
On-demand self-service
Ubiquitous access
over network
1/31/2014
Large, homogeneous
resource pool
12. Need for a Cloud?
• A question that we always ask… to buy or to rent?
1/31/2014
13. Pay for everything
• What you use as well as what you don’t use
• And all these at a upfront investment
• Buy a car, A/c, driver, license, maintenance,
parking space, insurance, etc….
15. Let’s think a bit
http://www.gcwk.ac.in/
Hosting your portal/web application on your own
infrastructure
Server (IBM blade or Sun SPARC), Platform (Linux of
Windows), Connectivity (BSNL or Airtel or Reliance),
Storage, Administrators, Cooling Services, Power (?!), UPS,
Firewall, Network equipment….and then...Upgrades?

21. Cloud Computing Services
• Software As a Service (SaaS)
• Platform As a Service (PaaS)
• Infrastructure As a Service (Iaas)
22. The 3!
SaaS: service-on-demand
Example: GMail, Zoho (online office)
PaaS: Facilities necessary to support the complete process of building and delivering web
applications
Example: Salesforce.com, Google App. Engine
IaaS: Delivering the total infrastructure as a service
Example: Amazon’s EC2
27. The Most Popular - Cloud Services for
business & for individuals
• salesforce.com
• Amazon Web Services

• Amazon EC2
• Gmail/Google Apps
• Chrome OS, Ubuntu Cloud

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud “Amazon EC2”
–
–
–
–
web service interface that provides resizable computing
capacity in a cloud
designed to make web-scale computing easier for
developers
reduces the time required to obtain and boot new server
space from weeks to minutes
allows developers to pay only for capacity that they actually
use

29.
“Google 101”
–
–
Network made up of millions of cheap servers, that would
store staggering amounts of data, including numerous copies
of the world wide web
Makes search faster, helping ferret out answers to billions of
queries in a fraction of a second
Google invests more than $2 billion a year in data
centers for cloud computing.
Google App Engine

55. Cloud Computing Drawbacks
Security Issues (#1 concern)
You must have an Internet connection
Less control over the data
Connectivity & Bandwidth issues
1/31/2014
56. Security – The #1 Threat
• Richard Stallman says: “One reason you
should not use cloud applications to do your
computing is that you lose control”
• Issue is about the programs that enable cloud
computing
• Amazon’s downtime & Steamload’s collapse
• Our Aadhar – Privacy, Confidentiality,
Security ? (NSA vs Edward Snowden )
• Solutions are emerging – eg. openstack
1/31/2014
59. Career scope
• Developers: Web services, SOA and SOAP
(.NET and JEE)
• Performance testing engineers
• Infrastructure engineers: Networking
professionals, virtualization and security
experts, Entertainment Computing: Gaming
