Cloud Computing Technologies - Tutorialspoint

The document discusses four key technologies behind cloud computing: virtualization, service-oriented architecture, grid computing, and utility computing. Virtualization allows sharing of physical resources among multiple organizations. Service-oriented architecture enables applications to communicate regardless of vendor or technology. Grid computing refers to distributed computing across multiple locations. Utility computing offers computational resources on demand in a pay-per-use model.

Cloud Computing Technologies

There are certain technologies working behind the cloud computing platforms making cloud computing
flexible, reliable, and usable. These technologies are listed below:
Virtualization
Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)
Grid Computing
Utility Computing

Virtualization

Virtualization is a technique, which allows to share single physical instance of an application or resource
among multiple organizations or tenants (customers). It does this by assigning a logical name to a
physical resource and providing a pointer to that physical resource when demanded.

The Multitenant architecture offers virtual isolation among the multiple tenants. Hence, the
organizations can use and customize their application as though they each have their instances running.

Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)

Service-Oriented Architecture helps to use applications as a service for other applications regardless the
type of vendor, product or technology. Therefore, it is possible to exchange the data between applications
of different vendors without additional programming or making changes to services.

The cloud computing service oriented architecture is shown in the diagram below.

Grid Computing

Grid Computing refers to distributed computing, in which a group of computers from multiple locations
are connected with each other to achieve a common objective. These computer resources are
heterogeneous and geographically dispersed.
Grid Computing breaks complex task into smaller pieces, which are distributed to CPUs that reside within
the grid.

Utility Computing
Utility computing is based on Pay-per-Use model. It offers computational resources on demand as a
metered service. Cloud computing, grid computing, and managed IT services are based on the concept of
utility computing.
