There are three classes of services, named laa (Infrastructure as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service) and SaaS (Software as a Service). + Ingeneral, X (everything) as a Service (XaaS) is a collective term used to refer to any services thar are delivered over the Internet, rather than locally. storage, type of service clients are provided with process (a) Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) : In network bandwidth, and other computing resources, being able to reconfigure them as needed. ‘The clients do not own, manage, or control the underlying infrastructure; instead, they rent it as & SeHvic® by paying only for what is used. This eliminates the need for customers to set up and maintain their physical resources, The service provider supplies virtual hardware resources (e.g, CPU, memory, storage, load balancer, virtual LANs, ete). Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), Eucalyptus, OpenNebuls and Openstack are examples of providers in this class. @ scanned with OKEN Scanner ce OO _—_———_—_ introduction to Cloud Compyy, Cloud Computing and Web Services 32 wvelopment, testin rnvironment for the de a + In this class clients get an (memory, Storage, PFOCESSOrs, ey of the platform environment. unlike laa where us, ty Forth 'F operating system, application software, server size, et. and patches are controlled ang maintenance of the system, PaaS operating system updates, versions, implemented by the vendor.

The applications are accessible to the customers, at a 7 Smee onal and with any device, through a simple interface such as a web browser. The client has the infrastructure or even the application, 3.2__ Types of Cloud ‘The cloud can be deployed in four types private, public, hybrid, and community cloud, An additional type isthe community cloud, which is less commonly used. (a) Private cloud (b) Public cloud (Hybrid cloud (4) Community cloud (2) A private cloud is built and managed within a single organization, Organizations use software that enables cloud functionality, such as VMWare, vCloud Director, or OpenStack. (0) A public cloud is a set of computing resources provided by third-party organizations. 1 ‘he most popular public clouds include Amazon Web Services, Google AppEngine, and Microsoft Azure, (6) Ahybrid cloud is a mix of computing resources provided by both private and Public clouds, (4) A community cloud shares computing resources across several organizations, and can be managed by either organizational IT resources or third-party providers (a) Private Cloud * Private clouds are those that are built exclusively for single business. For many They allow the o} ina cloud, while ad control that can arise in the public cloud environment. 'Y Companies considering cloud reanization to host applications dressing conce computing, private clouds are @ good starting point, development environments, and infrastructure a Ms regarding data security’ + There are two kinds of private clouds ())_ On-Premises Private Cloud : * This model, also known a5 an “Internal Goud” hosted wih ag benefits of a virtualized, scalable, exible private pceanization’s own data center: MH are undeniable Cloud infrastructure 7 A @ scanned with OKEN Scanner Cloud Computing and Web Services 33 Introduction to Cloud Computing + Building and managing a private cloud enables you to pool hardware, storage, network, Web, and virtualization resources for more cost-effective, flexible, dynamic, and on-demand requirements. Advances in virtualization and distributed computing have allowed company network and data center administrators to effectively become service providers that meet the needs of their “customers” within the business. ‘+ Users across the company can have self-service access and increased scalability. Also like a public cloud, a private cloud also makes provisioning an automated service request rather than a manual task processed by IT. It provides a much more standardized set of processes and protection than a traditional in-house IT infrastructure provides. On-Premises Private Clouds are very effective for applications that require complete control and configurability of the infrastructure and security. + Inan On-Premises or Internal Private Cloud environment, the customer owns all of the equipment powering the private cloud, has complete responsibility for the IT resources as well as the data, and is fully accountable for securing it. So, unlike a public cloud, setting up shop in a private cloud requires expertise with network integration as well as with sophisticated virtualization and cloud platform technologies; you'll have to run your hardware, storage, networking, hypervisor for virtualization, and cloud software. * Typically, the internal IT department sets up, tests, and manages the cloud infrastructure. Thus, costs can be larger than choosing 4 public cloud. You still need to pay for servers and to deal with infrastructure, security, and backup, which in a public cloud is the provider's job. The result is that large enterprises are the ‘ones most likely to have both the expertise and budget to implement internal private clouds. (ii) Hosted Virtual Private Cloud: ‘+ This private cloud model is hosted by a third-party Cloud Service Provider. The provider creates an exclusive private cloud environment and takes responsibility for implementing, securing, and managing the Cloud infrastructure. * This approach is recommended for organizations that want the benefits of moving thelr infrastructure, systems, and data off-site but prefer not to use a pure public cloud infrastructure with the multi-tenancy sharing of applications, * An excellent example of an externally Hosted Virtual Private Cloud is DynaSis’ ITility Cloud Solution for small businesses. (b) Public Cloud ‘The public cloud is a series of computing services available on the public Internet. It includes Software-as-a- serviceapplications such as Salesforce.com or Google's Gmail, software development Platforms as a Service, such as Microsoft's Azure, and Infrastructures as a Service from a wide range of vendors. The major benefits of the public cloud are that it can © Reduce costs + Itcan improve cash flow by converting capital investments to operating expenses + Itishighly scalable. + Itprovides universal accessibility, and ‘+ Applications and data are automatically backed up and upgraded. ‘+ However, the public cloud simply isn’t the ultimate best choice for every small business. ‘+ With the exceptions of some new businesses and a handful of existing companies who have implemented brand new systems ~ no business data and computer resources reside completely in the public cloud today. One reason is that most Public Cloud applications run on a multi-tenant basis.

It may be ‘managed by the organizations or a third party and may exist on premise or off:premise. + Community cloud arises from concerns over Cloud Computing, specifically control by vendors and lack of environmental sustainability. * The Community Cloud aspires to combine distributed resource provision from Grid Computing, distributed control from Digital Ecosystems, and sustainability from Green Computing, with the use cases of Cloud Computing, while making greater use of self-management advances from Autonomic Computing. Replacing vendor Clouds by shaping the underutilized resources of user machines to form a Community Cloud, with nodes potentially fulfilling all roles, consumer, producer and most importantly coordinator. evelopment Platforms Private Users Industies Enterprises| Public Services| Fig. 3.2.2: Community Cloud © The conceptualisation of the Community Cloud draws upon Cloud Computing, Grid Computing, Digital Ecosystems, Green Computing, and Autonomic Computing. * A paradigm for Cloud Computing in the community, without dependence on Cloud vendors, such as Google, Amazon, or Microsoft. Advantages of Community cloud 1. Openness Removing dependence on vendors makes the Community Cloud the open equivalent to vendor Clouds, and therefore identifies a new dimension in the open versus proprietary struggle that has emerged in code, standards, and data, but has yet to be expressed in the realm of hosted services. Ted @ scanned with OKEN Scanner n to Cloud Computing Introd 3 Cloud Computing and Web Services Community gm, because of the community paradi , technology + The Community Cloud is as much a social structure a5 & ‘ownership of the infrastructure. ished competition ang dimini e would be «+ Carrying with ita degree of economic scalability without which ther potential stifling of innovation as risked in vendor Clouds.

This relationship is reminiscent of recent application platforms, such as Facebook's and Apple's App Store, but decentralized and so free from vendor control, Also, it allows for th f the , e reuse of connections between users, akin to Google's Friend Connect, instead of re-estab thing them for each new 1em for each ne\ application, 5.

Convenience and Control = The Community Cloud, unlike vendor Clouds, has no inherent conflict between convenience and control, resulting from Its community ownership providing distributed control, which would be more democratic. = However, whether the Community Cloud can provide technically quality equivalent or superior to its centralized counterparts fs an issue that will require further research. 7. Community Currency ‘+ The Community Cloud would require its currency to support the sharing of resources, a community currency, which in economics is a medium (currency), not backed by a central authority (eg, national ment), for exchanging goods and services within a community. © Itdoes not need to be rest ted geographically, despite sometimes being called a local currency. 8. Quality of Service uring acceptable quality of service (QoS) in a heterogeneous system will be a challenge. Not least because achieving and maintaining the different aspects of QoS will require reaching critical mass in the participating nodes and available services. + The community currency could support long-term promises by resource providers and allow the higher quality providers, through market forces, to command a higher price for their service provision. Interestingly, the Community Cloud could provide a better QoS than vendor Clouds, utilizing time-based and ‘geographical yariations advantageously in the dynamic scaling of resource provision. 9. Environmental Sustainability © We expect the Community Cloud to have a smaller carbon footprint than vendor Clouds, on the assumption that making use of underutilized user machines requires less energy than the dedicated data centers required for vendor Clouds. + ‘The server farms within data centers are an intensive form of computing resource provision, while the Community Cloud is more organic, growing and shrinking in a symbiotic relationship to support the demands of the community, which in turn supports it. 10. Service Composition «The great promise of service-oriented computing is that the marginal cost of creating the nth application will be virtually zero, as all the software required already exists to satisfy the requirements of other applications. ‘© Only their composition and orchestration are required to produce a new application. Within vendor Clouds itis possible to make services that expose themselves for composition and compose these services, allowing the hosting of complete service-oriented architecture, ‘+ However, current service composition technologies have not gained widespread adoption. + Digital Ecosystems advocate service composability to avoid centralized control by large service providers, because easy service composition allows coalitions of SMEs to compete simply by composing simpler services into more complex services that only large enterprises would otherwise be able to deliver.

Continuous Monitoring and Maintenance ‘+ Implement continuous monitoring tools to monitor the application's performance, security, and health. ‘© Regularly maintain and update the application, including applying security patches, bug fixes and feature enhancements. 3.4 Types of Cloud Platform/Reference Models * Cloud service models describe how cloud services are made available to clients. Most fundamental service models include a combination of IaaS (infrastructure as a set ), PaaS (platform as a service), and SaaS (softwareas a service). ‘+ These service models may have synergies between each other and be interdependent - for example, PaaS is dependent on laaS because application platforms require physical infrastructure. PaaS deals with whole computing platforms provided as a service such as operating system environments. ‘© Eg, Google Chrome OS running on Google Chrome Books. laaS aims to provide the whole computing power (computer clusters) for the application domain so we don’t have to worry about the physical machines and how they are deployed, 3.4.1 IaaS/HaaS (Infrastructure / Hardware as a Service) + Infrastructure as a Service isa form of hosting.

The service delivery model allows the customer to rent virtualized servers and associated services for running existing applications or developing and testing new ones. + The infrastructure layer is the lower level layer, abstracting and usually virtualizing the hardware layer. Different virtualization concepts are targeting operating systems, hardware, CPUs and embedded systems, networks and storage. + These enable a homogenous virtualized environment on which to install and execute specific software. Furthermore, this is the scale-in and scale-out layer. If required, extra infrastructure nodes can be deployed to overcome computing needs. When not needed, these nodes can again be decommissioned. The infrastructure can be made av. ible as a service, where users may gain access to virtualized servers. * This service allows a user to provision and spawn an infrastructure and run his selected software stack. This is an on-demand service, as the infrastructure can grow or shrink with the load fluctuations. It is usually the client's responsibility to manage most of the software stack and make sure that the application running on the cloud can scale horizontally with the addition of new nodes. + The startup and shutdown process of extra nodes is requested via an interface (usually a web service). When in a commercial business model, the charges are calculated on CPU/h usage. A storage service is usually associated with an laaS, where charges are based on GB transferred and/or stored per month. PaaS provides IT organizations with significant benefits : ‘+ Improved time to market with minimal capital costs. Developers can accelerate the production of new cloud applications through access to a broad set of automated tools and technologies that enable them to design and deploy cloud-aware applications more quickly. Reduced development cycle time enables more new products to reach the market faster. With the ability to start, test, and deploy software projects dramatically reduced, IT also can support limited-duration projects such as marketing campaigns. ‘+ Access to services that are available only in the cloud. Developers can customize, extend, and integrate Software as a Service (SaaS) offerings from public cloud providers by selecting specific functionality to be delivered as a service through the PaaS platform. The solution is tailored to user needs so that Line-Of-Business (LOB) managers are less likely to pursue shadow IT initiatives. * Ability to rehost or re-architect legacy applications to run in the cloud, often with minimal changes. Porting existing applications can cut IT operational costs, increase agility, broaden reach, and enable developers to focus on core competencies rather than the complexities of legacy infrastructure. 3.4.3 SaaS (Software as a Service) + SaaS stands for “Software as a Service’, and it essentially refers to software that is hosted on servers and is provided asa service. + Some initial uses for SaaS included customer relationship management offerings, content management systems, video conferencing, and e-mail communication systems. ‘+ SaaS applications are provided over the web, which means they can be accessed from any computer without any special software installed. Many applications are designed to run through a standard web browser. When updates to a SaaS application need to be installed, they are simply installed on the server, whi ensures that all users are running the latest version. immediately @ scanned with OKEN Scanner OES ’S ' ZT Cloud Computing and Web Services 3:12, urchase, Unlike traditional software applications that require an upfront pure Introduction Cloud Comp, saaS applications typically gp 10d for delivering sof, i, SaaS is a method wan subscription-based pricing and are usualy licensed on a per-uset basis a service can be purchased wig, q ‘hat provides remote access to software as a web-based service.

Introduction to Cloud Computing 3.5 _ Essential Characteristics of Cloud Computing Cloud computing has some interesting characteristies that are beneficiary to both Cloud Service Consumers (CSCs) and Cloud Service Providers (CSPs). These characteristics are : Characteristics of Cloud Computing 1, Automatic service on demand 2, Rapid Elasticity 3, Measurable Services 4, Multiple tenants '5 Sharing of the pool of resources %. Access through a worldly distributed] network 7. Service Orionted 'B. Dynamic resource provisioning 9, Sel-organization 10, Price-based uflities Fig, 3.5.1 : Characteristics of Cloud Computing 4. Automatic service on demand : Computational services are provided automatically, without human intervention over the service provider; Rapid Elasticity : Services must be fast and made available whenever necessary. Users of them must feel as they have unlimited resources, which can be acquired in any amount, anytime. The elasticity property appears in three components: linear scalability, use by demand, and payment of what is consumed; 3. Measurable Services : The management systems used by the cloud must control and monitor each resource, automatically, for each kind of service (storage, processing, and bandwidth). This monitoring must be transparent for both entities involved (service provider and user). 4, Multiple tenants : In a cloud environment services owned by multiple providers can be located in a single . datacenter. With this approach the issues with performance and management of these services can be dealt by all service and the infrastructure providers. The layered architecture offers a natural division of duties, that is, the owner of each layer will have to deal only with the specific goals associated with that layer. Unfortunately, the multiple tenancies also create problems in the understanding and management of the interactions between parts. 5. Sharing of the pool of resources : The infrastructure provider offers a pool of resources that can be dynamically allocated to the resource consumers. This capability creates a great flexibility to the cost-effective management of resources. As an example, a service provider can take advantage of the technique of VM migration in order to maximize resource utilization, what implies in the reduction of costs associated with cooling and power consumption. : TechKnowledge @ scanned with OKEN Scanner Cloud Computing and Web Services 314 Introduction to Cloud Computing 6. Access through a worldly any device connected to it, either a cell phone or a desktop, is capable of using the cloud services. Even more, in order tributed network : Clouds are usually accessible from the Internet, therefore, to achieve a high performance and availability, many of the current clouds are composed by several datacenters distributed over the world. 7. Service Oriented : Cloud computing adopts a service-oriented operational model, putting a strong emphasis in service management. Each provider offers his service trying to guarantee a Service Level Agreement (SLA), which is negotiated with the users of that service. 8. Dynamic resource provisioning : Differently from conventional systems, where resources are fixed, in clouds we have the capability of dynamically adjust the amount of offered resources by the acqui extra resources by the service provider, guided by current demands. 9. Self-organization : The property of dynamic resource provisioning implies in the ability of providers and clients to adjust their resources upon demand. Resources can be allocated or returned to the pool depending the current needs. This flexibility results in the elasticity property. 10, Price-based ition and publishing of ities : Cloud computing uses an economical model based in “pay what you use”. The exact price of processing may be different for different services. For example, a software provider may rent a VM ina by- hour basis, while other may charge the service by the number of clients served. Although services priced by-use may reduce client's costs, they introduce difficulties in the management of the whole operation. Computing Fig. 3.5.2 Cloud computing systems and technologies reduced maintenance costs and operational costs related to IT software and resources. This is mainly because users have to pay for these resources as long as they are using and not paid for up front. Users can access their IT resources whenever and wherever they Want to, At consumer's side resources are not stored on actual physical system, hence it reduced maintenance costs: by renting the infrastructure and the application services, organizations are no longer responsible for their maintenance. 3.6 Cloud Provider with Tra ional IT Service Provider Cloud providers and traditional IT service providers offer disti inct approaches to delivering computing services, each with its advantages and limitations, Here’ ‘sa comparison between the two: A. Cloud Provider 1, Scalability : Cloud providers offer scalability, allowing users to quickly scale resources up or down based 0? demand. This elasticity is beneficial for busing lesses experiencing fluctuating workloads. @ scanned with OKEN Scanner Cloud Computing and Web Services 3.45 Introduction to Cloud Computing 2. Pay-Per-Use Model : loud services generally operate on a pay-as-you-go model, where users pay for the resources they consume. This can be cost-effective as it avoids large upfront investments and allows for cost optimization, 3. Global Reach : Cloud providers often have a global presence, with data centers distributed worldwide, This enables users to access services from different geographical locations, improving performance and redundancy. 4. Flexibility and Innovation : Cloud platforms frequently introduce new services and features, providing users with access to the latest technological advancements. This allows for innovation and agility in developing and deploying applications. 5. Managed Services : Cloud providers often offer managed services, such as database management, security services, and AI/ML tools, relieving users of certain operational burdens. B. Traditional IT Service Provider 1, Control and Customization : Traditional IT service providers may offer greater control and customization options, especially for on-premises solutions. This can be critical for businesses with specific compliance or security requirements. 2, Legacy Systems Support : Some businesses rely on legacy systems that might not easily migrate to the cloud. Traditional IT service providers can support and maintain these systems, ensuring their continued operation. 3. Predictable Costs : While cloud services offer scalability, traditional IT services might offer more predictable costs, especially for long-term infrastructure investments, without the variability of pay-per-use models. Security and Compliance : In certain industries or scenarios, traditional IT service providers might offer a perceived higher level of security and compliance adherence due to dedicated on-premises solutions. ‘Technical Expertise and Support : Traditional IT service providers often have specialized expertise in specific areas and can provide hands-on support tailored to the organization's needs. Both cloud providers and traditional IT service providers have their strengths, and the choice between the two depends on various factors such as organizational goals, existing infrastructure, regulatory compliance, data sensitivity, budget, and the nature of the workload. Many organizations use a combination of both to leverage the advantages of each approach (hybrid IT) and achieve their business objectives. 3.7__ Open Challenges of Cloud Computing Cloud computing is used for enabling global access to mutual pools of resources such as services, apps, data, servers, and computer networks, It is done on either a third-party server located in a data center or a privately- owned cloud. This makes data-accessing contrivances more reliable and efficient, with nominal administration effort.
