  1. Birth of Cloud Computing Dr. Raihan Ur Rasool Assistant Professor NUST School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science raihan.rasaool@seecs.edu.pk, vitalfact@{IEEE, acm}.org Cloud Study Group

  2. Plan Each week, we will • Pick a different cloud computing topic • Discuss general issues on the topic • Read one or two latest research paper on that topic

  3. Outline A short journey of computing towards Clouds Cloud architectures and IaaS, PaaS, SaaS Building your own cloud: Tools and Techniques

  4. If one ox could not do the job they did not try to grow a bigger ox, but used two oxen. Grace Murray Hopper A useful thought 

  5. How many of you did not shutdown the computer and are now here in this room? Assume we are 15 people running a screensaver without performing real work. The talk lasts one hour. Opportunity loss for one hour: Speed: 15 * 0.8 GFlops = 12 GFlops Comp: 12GFlops * 1h = 43‘200 billion of floating point operations Costs for one hour: Power consumption: 15 * 300 W = 4500 W during one hour = 4.5 kWh Money: 4.5kWh ~~ 0.9 $ Oil needed: 0.36 liter (Gasoline: 12.3 kWh/kg) CO2 emissions: 0.81 kg CO2 (Gasoline: 2.27 kg CO2 / liter)

  6. During one year (15 people)… Opportunity loss for one year: Speed: 15 * 0.8 GFlops = 12 GFlops Comp: 12GFlops * 1y = 378 432 000 billion of floating point ops Costs for one year: Power consumption: 15 * 300 W = 4500 W during one year = 39.42 MWh Money: 39.42 MWh => 525.6 $ per head Oil needed: 3153.6 liter (Gasoline: 12.3 kWh/kg) CO2 emissions: 7 t CO2 (Gasoline: 2.27 kg CO2 / liter)

  7. Distributed Computing Distributed computing is a science which solves a large problem by giving small parts of the problem to many computers to solve and then combining the solutions for the parts into a solution for the problem. Recent distributed computing projects have been designed to use the computers of hundreds of thousands of volunteers all over the world, via the Internet, to look for extra-terrestrial radio signals, to look for prime numbers so large that they have more than ten million digits, and to find more effective drugs to fight cancer and the AIDS virus. These projects run when the computer is idle (from distributedcomputing.info)

  8. Grid Computing Grid Computing Computational Grid are a hardware and software infrastructure that provides dependable, consistent, and pervasive access to high-end computational capabilities. (Ian Foster, Carl Kesselman-1998) Grid computing is concerned with coordinated resource sharing and problem solving in dynamic, multi-institutional virtual organizations. (2000) Grid computing enables the virtualization of distributed computing and data resources such as processing, network bandwidth and storage capacity to create a single system image, granting users and applications seamless access to vast IT capabilities. Just as an Internet user views a unified instance of content via the Web, a grid user essentially sees a single, large virtual computer. (IBM) Internet and Grid ?

  9. Virtualization Virtualization Virtualization is the process of presenting computing resources in ways that users and applications can easily get value out of them. In other words, it provides a logical rather than physical view of data, computing power, storage capacity, and other resources. Until now we have been delivering this benefit of virtualization to users somehow, but not to applications. The virtualized infrastructure allows applications to exploit heterogeneous resources in a seamless fashion.

  10. Virtualization Virtualization An example Figure 1: Abstracting system hardware to resources

  11. What is Cloud Computing? Let’s hear from the “experts” Ragib Hasan: http://www.ragibhasan.com/

  12. What is Cloud Computing? The infinite wisdom of the crowds (via Google Suggest)

  13. What is Cloud Computing? We’ve redefined Cloud Computing to include everything that we already do. . . . I don’t understand what we would do differently in the light of Cloud Computing other than change the wording of some of our ads. Larry Ellison, founder of Oracle

  14. What is Cloud Computing? It’s stupidity. It’s worse than stupidity: it’s a marketing hype campaign Richard Stallman GNU

  15. What is Cloud Computing? Cloud Computing will become a focal point of our work in security. I’m optimistic … Ron Rivest The R of RSA

  16. So, What really is Cloud Computing? That is, use as much or as less you need, use only when you want, and pay only what you use, Cloud computing is Internet-based computing, whereby shared resources, software and information are provided to computers and other devices on-demand, like a public utility. (Wikipedia) Cloud computing is a new computing paradigm, involving data and/or computation outsourcing, with • Infinite and elastic resource scalability • On demand “just-in-time” provisioning • No upfront cost … pay-as-you-go

  17. The real story Mid to late ’90s, Grid computing was proposed to link and share computing resources

  18. The real story … continued Post-dot-com bust, big companies ended up with large data centers, with low utilization Solution: Throw in virtualization technology, and sell the excess computing power And thus, Cloud Computing was born …

  19. Cloud computing provides numerous economic advantages http://oos.cc/login.html http://www.eyeos.info/ http://www.cloudo.com/ For clients: • No upfront commitment in buying/leasing hardware • Can scale usage according to demand • Barriers to entry lowered for startups For providers: • Increased utilization of datacenter resources

  20. Cloud computing means selling “X as a service” IaaS: Infrastructure as a Service • Selling virtualized hardware PaaS: Platform as a service • Access to a configurable platform/API SaaS: Software as a service • Software that runs on top of a cloud

  21. Cloud computing architecture e.g., Web browser SaaS , e.g., Google Docs PaaS, e.g., Google AppEngine IaaS, e.g., Amazon EC2

  22. So, if cloud computing is so great, why aren’t everyone doing it? Clouds are still subject to traditional data confidentiality, integrity, availability, and privacy issues, plus some additional attacks

  23. Anatomy of an open source cloud Virtualization introduces the ability to migrate virtual machines (VMs) between physical servers for the purposes of load balancing. IBM DeveloperWorkshttp://www.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/os-cloud-anatomy/index.html?S_TACT=105AGX54&S_CMP=D0311&ca=dnw-1110&ca=dth-cloud

  24. Although virtualization is not a requirement, it provides undisputed capabilities for scalable and power-efficient architectures.

  25. Core open source technologies Hypervisor The Linux Kernel Virtual Machine (KVM) KVM is the official hypervisor solution, being deployed into production environments. Lguest: It is a Linux-focused solution that runs only Linux VMs, but is integrated into the kernel User-Mode Linux (UML) : It modifies a guest Linux kernel to run on top of another Linux operating system (without hypervisor extensions).

  26. Core open source technologies (2/4) Device emulation QEMU : A popular open source package that supports a number of hypervisors Virtual networking Open vSwitch The vSwitch behaves like a physical switch

  27. Core open source technologies (3/4) VM tools and technologies Ovftool: used for VMI conversion (for example, to convert from the VMware Virtual Disk Development Kit [VMDK] format into OVF Clonezilla: converts a physical server into VMI Libvirt: for migration of VMs between platforms I/O Technologies: TrafficServer: session management, authentication, filtering, load balancing, and routing

  28. Core open source technologies (3/4) Infrastructure management: oVirt: VM management tool: Web based console that, in addition to traditional management, supports the automation of clustering and load balancing. VirtManager: graphically rich display (for live performance and resource utilization) and includes a VNC client viewer Puppet: simplifies the management of large infrastructures by abstracting the details of the peer operating system.

  29. Integrated IaaS solutions Eucalyptus: supports KVM/Linux and Xen for hypervisors and includes the Rocks cluster distribution for cluster management. OpenNebula: supports the idea of hybrid clouds. It supports Xen, KVM/Linux, and VMware and relies on elements like libvirt for management and introspection. Nimbus:lease remote resources (i.e. EC2) and manage them locally (config., deploy VMs, monitor, etc.).
