Lecture9 Defining Cloud Computing and Types

Cloud computing involves applications and services running on a distributed network using virtualized resources, abstracting physical system details from users. It includes various deployment models (public, private, hybrid, community) and service models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS), each with unique characteristics and benefits. While cloud computing offers advantages like lower costs and improved performance, it also has disadvantages such as dependency on internet connectivity and potential data security concerns.

VIRTUALIZATION & CLOUD COMPUTING

Lecture # 20-21

CSE 423

Defining Cloud computing


Cloud Types
Cloud Computing

• Cloud computing refers to applications and services that run on a


distributed network using virtualized resources and accessed by common
Internet protocols and networking standards.

• It is distinguished by the notion that resources are virtual and limitless and
that details of the physical systems on which software runs are abstracted
from the user.
• Abstraction:
– Cloud computing abstracts the details of system implementation from
users and developers.
– Applications run on physical systems that aren't specified,
– data is stored in locations that are unknown,
– administration of systems is outsourced to others, and access by users
is ubiquitous.
• Virtualization:
– Cloud computing virtualizes systems by pooling and sharing resources.
– Systems and storage can be provisioned as needed from a centralized
infrastructure,
– costs are assessed on a metered basis,
– multi-tenancy is enabled,
– and resources are scalable with agility.
Cloud Types
• Deployment Model:
• Refers to location and management of the cloud’s infrastructure

• Service Model
• Consists of particular types of services that can be accessed on cloud computing
platform

• Some widely used model


• NIST Model
• The Cloud Cube Model
National Institute of Standard and Technology (NIST Definition of Cloud
Computing)
The Cloud Cube Model
• Physical location of the data: Internal (I) / External (E) determines your
organization's boundaries.

• Ownership: Proprietary (P) / Open (O) is a measure of not only the


technology ownership, but of interoperability, ease of data transfer, and
degree of vendor application lock-in.

• Security boundary: Perimeterised (Per) / De-perimiterised (D-p) is a


measure of whether the operation is inside or outside the security
boundary or network firewall.

• Sourcing: Insourced or Outsourced means whether the service is provided


by the customer or the service provider.
Deployment Models
• Public Cloud
– Hosted , operated and managed by a third party system owned by organization
selling cloud services

• Private Cloud
– The private cloud infrastructure is operated for the exclusive use of an
organization. The cloud may be managed by that organization or a third
party. Private clouds may be either on- or off-premises.

• Hybrid Cloud
– A hybrid cloud combines multiple clouds (private, community of public) where
those clouds retain their unique identities, but are bound together as a unit.

• Community Cloud
– A community cloud is one where the cloud has been organized to serve a
common function or purpose.
– It may be for one organization or for several organizations, but they share
common concerns such as their mission, policies, security, regulatory compliance
needs, and so on
Service Models
• Infrastructure as a Service(IaaS)
– Deliver Infrastructure on Demand in the form of
virtual Hardware, Storage and Networking. Virtual
Hardware is utilised to provide compute on demand
in the form of virtual machine instances
– Eg.Amazon EC2, S3, Eucalyptus, GoGrid,
Rightspace Cloud

• Platform as a Service (PaaS)


– Deliver scalable and elastic runtime environments
on demand that host the execution of applications.
– Backed by core middleware platform for creating
abstract environment to deploy and execute
application

• Software as a service (SaaS)


– Provide application and services on demand eg
office automation, Photo Editing software,
facebook., Twitter accessible through browser on
demand
Cloud Companies/Service Providers
Benefits of Cloud Computing
• Lower Computational Costs
• Improved Performance
• Reduced Software Costs
• Instant Software updates
• Unlimited storage capacity
• Increased Data Reliability
• Universal Document Access
• Latest version availability
• Easier Group Collaboration/ Sharing
• Device Independence
Disadvantages of Cloud Computing
• Requires constant Internet Connection
• Does not work well with low speed connection
• Stored data might not be Secured
• Stored data can be lost
• Features might be limited
