What is Cloud Computing?

7

DefinitionCloud computing is the delivery of computing as a service rather than a product, whereby shared resources, software, and information are provided to computers and other devices as a metered service over a network (typically the Internet).

8

Advantages• Shift from CAPEX to OPEX

• Lowers barrier for starting a new business/project• Can be cheaper even in the long run

• Economies of scale• Geography

15

Advantages• Instant agility

• No need to procure, provision and configure new HW• No need to plan far ahead on provisioning

• Security• Cloud provider can afford better physical and logical security• Bank vs. company vault

16

9

Advantages

• Reliability• Redundancy, geographic replication

17

Challenges• Performance predictability (QoS)

• Fair sharing of I/O resources among VMs• Vendor lock-in

18

10

Challenges• Security and privacy

• Data transfer bottleneck• Uploading 10 TB over 20 Mbps link takes 45 days!

19

Cloud-friendly Applications

Cloud Types• Public• Private• Hybrid

21

Cloud Computing Taxonomy• Infrastructure/hardware as a Service (IaaS)

• Platform as a Service (PaaS)

• Software/Framework as a Service (SaaS/FaaS)

22

12

Infrastructure as a service (IaaS)

• Also know as Utility Computing• VM images of different OS flavors• Can run any application natively on chosen OS• User administers VMs

• User in charge of elasticity and failover • Almost like buying your how HW• Billing:

• CPU hour• Gigabyte of storage per month• Network traffic in and out of datacenter

• Examples: • Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), Rackspace

23

Example: Amazon EC2 Instance Types

• Small Instance2 GB memory1 EC2 Compute UnitI/O Performance: Moderate

• XXLarge Instance32 GB memory8 EC2 Compute UnitsI/O Performance: High

• GPU Compute732 GiB of memory64 EC2 Compute UnitsNVIDIA K80 GPUsI/O Performance: Very High (10 Gigabit Ethernet)

• One EC2 Compute Unit provides the equivalent CPU capacity of a 1.0-1.2 GHz 2007 Opteron or 2007 Xeon processor.

13

Platform as a Service (PaaS)

• Application need to conform to provider’s API • VM managed automatically by provider

• Automatic scaling and failover• Billing:

• Per-request• Gigabyte of storage per month• Network traffic in and out of datacenter

• Examples:• Google App Engine• Microsoft Azure• AWS Lambda

25

Software/Framework as a Service (SaaS/FaaS)

• SaaS: services and applications available on an on-demand basis.

• FaaS: a configurable SaaS• Billing:

• Application specific• Per hour• Per transaction

• Examples:• Salesforce.com• Google Docs

How do they stack up?

27

Choosing between IaaS and PaaS• IaaS

• Use third party sw or other programming languages• Have existing code• Care about lock in

• Transfer web app to your own server or a different provider• Want complete control• Are OK with the extra work needed to manage the system

• PaaS• Provider’s API provider all needed functionality• Have no issues with lock-in• Don’t want to or cannot afford to manage the servers
