Use GAE launcher to launch the web applications

Aim:
To Use GAE launcher to launch the web applications.
Steps:
1. Using Google Cloud SDK to Launch Web Applications
• Install Google Cloud SDK
• If you haven't already installed the Google Cloud SDK, please refer to the instructions in
my previous message about installing and initializing the Google Cloud SDK.
2. Open the Google Cloud SDK Shell
• On Windows, you can find the Google Cloud SDK Shell in your Start menu, or you might
have a shortcut on your desktop.
3. Navigate to Your Project Directory
• Use the cd command in the Google Cloud SDK Shell to navigate to your project directory.
For example, cd path\to\your\project.

4. Run Your Application Locally

• To run your application locally, use the gcloud app deploy command. This command
deploys your app to the App Engine server.
• It will prompt you for any necessary information during the deployment process.
5. View Your Running Application
• Once deployed, Google Cloud SDK will provide you with a URL where you can view
your running application.
6. Stop the Running Application
• If you need to stop your application, you can do so through the Google Cloud Platform
Console.
Tips for Layman
• Follow Each Step: Make sure to follow each step carefully and enter the commands as
they are written.
• Google Account Required: You will need a Google account to use Google Cloud services.
• Internet Connection Needed: Ensure you have an active internet connection for
deploying applications.
• Be Patient: Deployment can take a few minutes, so be patient while the process
completes. • Keep Your Project Organized: Keep all files related to your project in a
single folder to make navigation and deployment easier.
• Billing Considerations: While Google App Engine has a free tier, be aware of possible
charges if you exceed the free usage limits. It's a good idea to review Google App
Engine's pricing details.
Result:
Thus the GAE web applications was created.

Simulate a cloud scenario using CloudSim and run a scheduling
algorithm that is not present in CloudSim

Steps:
Step 1: Set Up Your Development Environment
1. Install Java Development Kit (JDK)
• Download and install the latest JDK from the Oracle website.
• Follow the installation instructions, and make sure Java is properly set up by typing java -
version in your command prompt or terminal.
2. Install an Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
• Download and install an IDE that supports Java, like Eclipse or IntelliJ IDEA.
3. Download CloudSim
• Download the latest version of CloudSim from the CloudSim website or its GitHub
repository.
• Extract the downloaded ZIP file to a folder.
Step 2: Import CloudSim into Your IDE
1. Open Your IDE and Create a New Project
• Open Eclipse or IntelliJ IDEA and create a new Java project.
2. Import CloudSim Libraries
• In your project, include the CloudSim jar files from the extracted CloudSim folder.
• For Eclipse: Right-click on the project → Build Path → Configure Build Path →
Libraries → Add External JARs.
• For IntelliJ IDEA: File → Project Structure → Libraries → + → Java → select the
CloudSim
jar files.
Step 3: Implement Your Scheduling Algorithm
1. Understand CloudSim Architecture
• Familiarize yourself with Cloud Sim’s architecture and existing scheduling algorithms.
This understanding is crucial to implement your own.
2. Create a New Class for Your Algorithm
• In your project, create a new Java class where you will write your scheduling algorithm.
• You may need to extend or implement specific CloudSim classes or interfaces depending
on your algorithm's requirements.
3. Write Your Algorithm
• Implement your scheduling algorithm in the newly created class. This will require
programming skills in Java and an understanding of the algorithm you wish to implement.
Step 4: Set Up a Simulation Environment
1. Create a Simulation Class
• Write a Java class to create a cloud environment using CloudSim classes.
• Define cloud resources like hosts, data centres, virtual machines (VMs), and cloudlets
(tasks).
2. Integrate Your Scheduling Algorithm
• In the simulation class, configure the data centre or VMs to use your custom scheduling
algorithm.
Step 5: Run the Simulation and Analyse Results
1. Run Your Simulation
• Execute your simulation class.
• The IDE should compile and run the simulation, using your custom scheduling algorithm.
2. Analyse the Output
• The output will be displayed in the IDE’s console.
• Analyse this output to understand how your algorithm performs.
Tips for Layman
• Start Simple: If you're new to CloudSim or Java, start with simple modifications to
existing algorithms before attempting to implement a new one.
• Refer to Documentation: Make extensive use of CloudSim documentation and Java
resources.
• Debugging: Use the debugging features of your IDE to troubleshoot any issues in your
code.
• Seek Help: If you're stuck, seek help from online communities or forums focused on
CloudSim or Java programming.

Find a procedure to transfer the files from one virtual machine to
another virtual machine

Objective:
To safely and efficiently transfer files from one virtual machine (VM) to another.
Prerequisites:
• Two operational virtual machines (VM1 and VM2).
• Basic familiarity with operating systems on the VMs.
• Network connectivity between both VMs.
Tools Needed:
• File transfer software (e.g., FTP client, SCP client) installed on both VMs.
• Optional: Shared network drive or cloud storage access.
Steps:
1. Establish Network Connectivity:
• Ensure both VMs are on the same network or can communicate over the internet.
• Check IP addresses of both VMs for reference.
2. Choose a File Transfer Method:
• Options include FTP, SCP, or shared drives.
• We'll use SCP (Secure Copy Protocol) for this guide.
3. Install SCP Client:
• On Windows VMs, an application like WinSCP can be used.
• On Linux VMs, SCP is usually pre-installed.
4. Preparing Files for Transfer:
• On VM1, locate the files you want to transfer.
• Compress them into a zip file for easier transfer (optional).
5. Using SCP for Transfer:
• Open SCP client on VM1.
• Enter the IP address of VM2.
• Provide necessary authentication (username/password).
• Browse and select the file(s) on VM1.
• Choose the target directory on VM2.
• Initiate the transfer.
6. Verifying Transfer:
• Once transfer is complete, log into VM2.
• Check the target directory to ensure files are present.
• Verify file integrity (size, no corruption).
7. Troubleshooting:
• If transfer fails, check network connectivity and credentials.
• Ensure there's enough storage space on VM2.
• Check for any firewall or security settings that might block the transfer.
8. Alternative Methods:
• For non-technical users, consider using a shared network drive or cloud storage.
• Upload files from VM1 to the shared location, then download to VM2.
