Introduction
Definition 1:
Cloud Computing is defined as manipulation, configuration, and
accessing the applications online. It offers online data storage,
infrastructure and application.
Definition 2:
Cloud computing is a subscription-based service where user can
obtain network storage space and computer resources.
Definition 3:
Cloud computing is a method of providing a set of shared computing
resources that includes applications, computing, storage, networking,
development, and deployment platforms as well as business processes.
What is cloud computing?
Cloud computing offers the services to user on the basis of
whenever and wherever user wants.
It is internet based service.
Why cloud ? Why not rain, heat, moisture ?
The cloud symbol is typically used to represent the
internet. And Cloud computing offers services over internet
hence named as cloud computing

Cloud Services Models
Types of Cloud
Private cloud
The cloud infrastructure is operated solely for an organization. e.g
Window Server 'Hyper-V'.
Community cloud
The cloud infrastructure is shared by several organizations and supports
a specific goal.
Public cloud
The cloud infrastructure is made available to the general public
e.g Google Doc, Spreadsheet,
Hybrid cloud
The cloud infrastructure is a composition of two or more clouds
e.g Cloud Bursting for load balancing between clouds.
Cloud and Virtualization
Virtual workspaces:
An abstraction of an execution environment that can be made
dynamically available to authorized clients by using well-defined
protocols,
Resource quota (e.g. CPU, memory share),
Software configuration (e.g. OS).
Implement on Virtual Machines (VMs):
Abstraction of a physical host machine,
Hypervisor intercepts and emulates instructions from VMs, and allows
management of VMs,
VMWare, Xen, KVM etc.
Provide infrastructure API:
Virtual Machines
VM technology allows multiple virtual machines to run on a
single physical machine.
Virtualization in General
Advantages of virtual machines:
Run operating systems where the physical hardware is
unavailable,
Easier to create new machines, backup machines, etc.,
Software testing using “clean” installs of operating systems and
software,
Emulate more machines than are physically available,
Timeshare lightly loaded systems on one host,
Debug problems (suspend and resume the problem machine),
Easy migration of virtual machines (shutdown needed or not).
Run legacy systems
