• A technology that uses remote servers on the internet to store,

manage, and access data online rather than local drives. The
data can be anything such as files, images, documents, audio,
video, and more.

• Cloud virtualization refers to the technique of creating virtual

instances of computing resources such as servers, storage, and
networks within a cloud environment.

• This process allows physical hardware to be abstracted into

multiple virtual machines (VMs) or containers, each running
their own operating system (OS) and applications.
operations that we can do using
cloud computing:
• Developing new applications and services
• Storage, back up, and recovery of data
• Hosting blogs and websites
• Delivery of software on demand
• Analysis of data
• Streaming videos and audios
 Why Cloud Computing?
• Small as well as large IT companies, follow
the traditional methods to provide the IT
infrastructure. That means for any IT
company, we need a Server Room that
is the basic need of IT companies.
• In that server room, there should be a
database server, mail server, networking,
firewalls, routers, modem, switches, QPS
(Query Per Second means how much
queries or load will be handled by the
server), configurable system, high net
speed, and the maintenance engineers.
• To establish such IT infrastructure, we need
to spend lots of money. To overcome all
these problems and to reduce the IT
infrastructure cost, Cloud Computing
comes into existence.
 Characteristics of Cloud Computing
1) Agility
• The cloud works in a distributed computing environment. It
shares resources among users and works very fast.
2) High availability and reliability
• The availability of servers is high and more reliable because
the chances of infrastructure failure are minimum.
3) High Scalability
• Cloud offers "on-demand" provisioning of resources on a
large scale, without having engineers for peak loads.
4) Multi-Sharing
• With the help of cloud computing, multiple users and
applications can work more efficiently with cost reductions
by sharing common infrastructure.
5) Device and Location Independence
• Cloud computing enables the users to access systems using a web
browser regardless of their location or what device they use e.g. PC,
mobile phone, etc. As infrastructure is off-site (typically provided by a
third-party) and accessed via the Internet, users can connect from
anywhere.
6) Maintenance
• Maintenance of cloud computing applications is easier, since they do not
need to be installed on each user's computer and can be
accessed from different places. So, it reduces the cost also.
7) Low Cost
• By using cloud computing, the cost will be reduced because to take the
services of cloud computing, IT company need not to set its own
infrastructure and pay-as-per usage of resources.
8) Services in the pay-per-use mode
• Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are provided to the users
so that they can access services on the cloud by using these
APIs and pay the charges as per the usage of services.
History of Cloud Computing

• Since the beginning days of

computing, when mainframe
computers were accessible remotely
through terminals, "cloud computing"
has evolved. However, with the
development of internet technologies
and the demand for more effective
and scalable computing solutions in
the 1990s and early 2000s, the
contemporary idea of cloud computing
as we know it today first emerged.
Types of Cloud
 Public Cloud
• Public cloud is open to all to store and access
information via the Internet using the pay-per-
usage method.
• Example: Amazon elastic compute cloud
(EC2), IBM SmartCloud Enterprise, Microsoft,
Google App Engine, Windows Azure Services
Platform.
• Examples: VMware vSphere, OpenStack,
Microsoft Azure Stack, Oracle Cloud at
Customer, and IBM Cloud Private.
Private Cloud

• Private cloud is also known as an internal

cloud or corporate cloud. It is used by organizations
to build and manage their own data centers internally or
by the third party. It can be deployed using Opensource
tools such as Openstack and Eucalyptus.
 Hybrid Cloud
• Hybrid Cloud is a combination of the public
cloud and the private cloud. we can say:
• Hybrid Cloud = Public Cloud + Private
Cloud
• Hybrid cloud is partially secure because the
services which are running on the public cloud
can be accessed by anyone, while the
services which are running on a private cloud
can be accessed only by the organization's
users. In a hybrid cloud setup, organizations
can leverage the benefits of both public and
private clouds to create a flexible and scalable
computing environment. The public cloud
portion allows using cloud services provided
by third-party providers, accessible over the
Internet.
Community Cloud

• Community cloud allows

systems and services to be
accessible by a group of
several organizations to share
the information between the
organization and a specific
community.
• It is owned, managed, and
operated by one or more
organizations in the
community, a third party, or a
combination of them.
• Multi-cloud is a strategy in
cloud computing where
companies utilize more Multi-Cloud
than one cloud service
provider or platform to
meet their computing
needs. It involves
distributing workloads,
applications, and statistics
throughout numerous
cloud environments
consisting of public,
private, and hybrid
clouds.
• Examples: Amazon Web
Services (AWS), Microsoft
Azure, and Google Cloud
Platform (GCP).

 History of Virtualization

1. Early Beginnings (1960s-1970s)

• Mainframe Virtualization: The concept of virtualization started with mainframes in
the 1960s, where IBM introduced virtual machines in the IBM System/360 Model 67
and later in the System/370. This allowed multiple users to share the same hardware
resources, each running their own isolated OS instances.
2. Personal Computers and Server Virtualization (1980s-1990s)
• PC Virtualization: The 1980s saw the emergence of virtualization technologies for
personal computers. For instance, products like VMWare in the late 1990s began to
bring virtualization to x86 architecture, which had previously been difficult to
virtualize.
3. Modern Virtualization and Cloud Computing (2000s-Present)
• Server Virtualization: In the 2000s, server virtualization became widespread with
tools like VMware ESX, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Citrix XenServer. These allowed for the
creation of virtual servers on a physical server, improving resource utilization and
reducing costs.
• Cloud Virtualization: The rise of cloud computing in the late 2000s further
expanded virtualization. Cloud providers like Amazon Web Services (AWS) and
Microsoft Azure leveraged virtualization to deliver scalable and on-demand resources
 Overview of Cloud Virtualization
1. Definition Cloud virtualization refers to the use of virtualization technologies
to create and manage virtualized resources in a cloud computing environment.
This includes virtual machines (VMs), virtual networks, and virtual storage, all
managed by cloud service providers.
2. Key Components
• Virtual Machines (VMs): These are software-based representations of
physical servers. Each VM runs its own OS and applications, isolated from
other VMs.
• Hypervisors: These are software platforms that manage the creation and
operation of VMs. There are two types:
• Type 1 (Bare-metal): Runs directly on the hardware (e.g., VMware ESXi, Microsoft
Hyper-V).
• Type 2 (Hosted): Runs on top of an existing OS (e.g., VMware Workstation, Oracle
VirtualBox).
• Containers: Lightweight and portable units that package an application and
3. Cloud Models and Virtualization
• Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): Provides virtualized
computing resources over the internet (e.g., AWS EC2, Google
Compute Engine).
• Platform as a Service (PaaS): Offers a platform allowing
customers to develop, run, and manage applications without
dealing with infrastructure (e.g., AWS Elastic Beanstalk, Google
App Engine).
• Software as a Service (SaaS): Delivers software applications
over the internet, often built on virtualized infrastructure (e.g.,
Google Workspace, Microsoft Office 365).
Benefits of Cloud Virtualization

3.Performance Overhead
1. Virtualization can introduce performance overhead due to the additional layer between the hardware and the
applications.
2. Ensuring optimal performance requires careful configuration and tuning of virtual environments.
4.Vendor Lock-In
1. Relying on a single cloud provider for virtualization can lead to vendor lock-in, making it difficult to switch providers
or move workloads.
2. Organizations need to consider multi-cloud strategies to mitigate this risk.
5.Cost Management
1. While cloud virtualization offers cost savings, improper management can lead to unexpected expenses, such as over-
provisioning or underutilization of resources.
2. Effective cost monitoring and management practices are essential to maximize savings.
6.Data Transfer and Latency Issues
1. Transferring large amounts of data to and from the cloud can result in latency and bandwidth challenges.
2. Ensuring low-latency and high-performance connectivity is crucial for certain applications and workloads.
7.Dependency on Internet Connectivity
1. Cloud services rely on stable and high-speed internet connectivity.
2. Network outages or poor connectivity can impact access to virtualized resources and disrupt operations.
Cloud Service Models

• There are the following three

types of cloud service models -

• Infrastructure as a Service
(IaaS)
• Platform as a Service (PaaS)
• Software as a Service (SaaS)
 Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
• IaaS is also known as Hardware as a Service (HaaS). It is a
computing infrastructure managed over the internet. The main
advantage of using IaaS is that it helps users to avoid the cost and
complexity of purchasing and managing the physical servers.
• Characteristics of IaaS
• There are the following characteristics of IaaS -
• Resources are available as a service
• Services are highly scalable
• Dynamic and flexible
• GUI and API-based access
• Automated administrative tasks
• Example: DigitalOcean, Linode, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft
Azure, Google Compute Engine (GCE), Rackspace, and Cisco Metacloud.
• IT infrastructure was rented
out for a specific period of
time, with pre-determined
hardware configuration.
• The client paid for the
configuration and time,
regardless of the actual
use.
• With the help of the IaaS
cloud computing platform
layer, clients can
dynamically scale the
configuration to meet
changing requirements and
are billed only for the
services actually used.
• IaaS is offered in three models: public, private, and
hybrid cloud.
• The private cloud implies that the infrastructure resides
at the customer's premise.
• In the case of the public cloud, it is located at the cloud
computing platform vendor's data center, and the
hybrid cloud is a combination of the two in which the
customer selects the best of both public cloud and
private cloud.
 Some of the Primary Characteristics of IaaS are:
• Scalability: IaaS enables users to adjust computing capacity according to their demands
without requiring long lead times or up-front hardware purchases.
• Virtualization: IaaS uses virtualization technology to generate virtualized instances that can
be managed and delivered on-demand by abstracting physical computer resources.
• Resource Pooling: This feature enables users to share computer resources, such as
networking and storage, among a number of users, maximizing resource utilization and
cutting costs.
• Elasticity: IaaS allows users to dynamically modify their computing resources in response to
shifting demand, ensuring optimum performance and financial viability.
• Self-Service: IaaS offers consumers "self-service" portals that let them independently
deploy, administer, and monitor their computing resources without the assistance of IT
employees.
• Availability: To ensure the high availability and reliability of services, IaaS providers often
run redundant and geographically dispersed data centers.
• Security: To safeguard their infrastructure and client data, IaaS companies adopt security
measures, including data encryption, firewalls, access controls, and threat detection.
• Customization: IaaS enables users to alter the operating systems, application stacks, and
security settings of their virtualized instances to suit their unique requirements.
• IaaS, or infrastructure as a service, is a cloud computing model that offers users virtualized
computer resources on a pay-per-use basis.
IaaS provider provides the following services -
• Computing: To provision virtual machines (VMs) for end users,
IaaS providers offer virtual central processing units (CPUs) and
virtual main memory. As a result, users may run their workloads
and apps on the provider's infrastructure without having to
worry about managing the underlying hardware.
• Storage: Back-end storage services are provided by IaaS
providers, enabling users to store and access their files and
data. This offers scalable and trustworthy storage solutions for
a variety of use cases and can include block storage, object
storage, or file storage alternatives.
• Network: IaaS providers provide networking tools, including
routers, switches, and bridges for the VMs through Network as a
Service (NaaS). This enables connectivity and communication
between VMs and other resources while also allowing customers
to create and maintain their network architecture within the
IaaS environment.
• Load balancers: Infrastructure-layer load balancing services are
provided by IaaS providers. Incoming network traffic is split up among
many virtual machines (VMs) or resources by load balancers, resulting in
effective resource management and excellent application and service
availability.
• Security: Security features and services are frequently offered by IaaS
providers as part of their offering. To safeguard data and resources
housed on the IaaS platform, this can include network security, firewall
configurations, access controls, encryption, and other security measures.
• Backup and disaster recovery services are provided by some IaaS
providers, enabling customers to create backup copies of their data and
software and put recovery plans in place in the event of data loss or
system problems. This promotes business continuity and data security.
• Monitoring and Management: IaaS suppliers provide tools and
services for monitoring and controlling the resources and infrastructure.
This can involve managing VMs, storage, and network configurations
using management panels or APIs, as well as measuring resource
utilization, automating scaling, and monitoring performance.

• SaaS is also known as
"On-Demand
Software." It is a
software distribution
model in which
services are hosted by
a cloud service
provider.
• These services are
available to end-users
over the internet, so
the end-users do not
need to install any
software on their
devices to access
these services.
 Characteristics of SaaS:
• Web-based Delivery: SaaS apps can be accessed from anywhere with an internet
connection because they are supplied over the internet, often through a web browser. Users
no longer need to install and maintain software programs on their local machines as a
result.
• Multiple Users or "tenants" can access SaaS applications from a single instance of the
program thanks to the concept of multi-tenancy. As a result, the provider can serve several
clients with the same application without administering unique program instances for every
client.
• Automatic Updates: SaaS providers are in charge of keeping the software up to date and
making sure that everyone has access to the newest features and security patches. Users
are no longer required to manually install updates or fixes as a result.
• Scalable: SaaS systems are scalable, which can readily grow or shrink in response to user
demand. This frees up enterprises from worrying about infrastructure or licensing fees and
lets them add or remove users as needed.
• Pricing on a Subscription Basis: SaaS programs are frequently sold using a subscription-
based pricing model, in which customers pay a monthly or yearly price to access the
program. As a result, companies won't need to invest significantly in software licenses
upfront.
• Data Security, including data encryption, access restrictions, and backups, is the
responsibility of SaaS providers. Users no longer need to handle their own data security
 Services Provided by SaaS:
