This course provides an overview of cloud computing, defining it as a distributed system of interconnected virtualized computers. It covers different cloud types (public, private, hybrid) and service models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS). Learn about critical aspects such as scalability, reliability, and security. The course discusses various offerings like Storage as a Service and Platform as a Service, along with comparisons of platforms like Amazon EC2 and Microsoft Azure. Gain insights into the economic advantages and operational complexities of adopting cloud solutions.

What’s a Cloud ? • "A Cloud is a type of parallel and distributed system consisting of a collection of interconnected and virtualized computers that are dynamically provisioned and presented as one or more unified computing resources based on service-level agreements established through negotiation between the service provider and consumers” (Buyya et al.) • “A large-scale distributed computing paradigm that is driven by economies of scale, in which a pool of abstracted, virtualized, dynamically-scalable, managed computing power, storage, platforms, and services are delivered on demand to external customers over the Internet” (Foster et al.) • Start point: October/November 2007 - IBM Blue Cloud Master course 2011-2012 - 21/10/2014
Types of clouds • Public clouds (or external clouds) • resources are dynamically provisioned on a fine-grained, self-service basis over the Internet, via Web applications or Web services. • the cloud is hosted, operated, and managed by a third-party vendor from one or more data/computing centers • organizations/customers lease shared resources from public clouds, effectively becoming infrastructure tenants rather than owners • computing becomes a public utility • Private clouds (or internal clouds) emulate cloud computing on private networks • Hybrid clouds merge multiple internal and/or external clouds Master course 2011-2012 - 21/10/2014
IaaS, PaaS, SaaS • Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) • provides computing environments/infrastructure i.e., hardware, software • the provisioned infrastructure can dynamically scale up and down depending on the actual needs • Amazon EC2 and S3 • Platform as a Service (PaaS) • high-level integrated environment to build and deploy applications • restrictions on the type of applications • but scalable platform • Google’s App Engine for deploying Web applications • Software as a Service (SaaS) • delivers software to consumers through the Internet • Salesforce: online CRM (Customer Relationship Management) Services ; Live Mesh from Microsoft: files and folders synchronization Master course 2011-2012 - 21/10/2014
Other XaaS offerings • Storage as a Service • Data(base) as a Service (DaaS) • Process as a Service - Business Process as a Service • Network as a Service (NaaS) • Integration as a Service • Security as a Service - Identity as a Service • Testing as a Service Master course 2011-2012 - 21/10/2014

Comparison of some cloud platforms From Foster et al. Master course 2011-2012 - 21/10/2014
Example: Amazon EC2/S3 • Compute Cloud EC2 (Elastic Cloud Computing) • pricing: http://aws.amazon.com/fr/ec2/pricing//185-8840065-1558013/ • « private » virtualized servers (« instances ») of different types • example: High-CPU Extra Large Instance • 7 GB of memory • 20 EC2 Compute Units • 1690 GB Storage • Pricing on a per hour basis for each instance type: from $0.085/hour for the small standard "On-Demand" virtual machine running Linux to 29x more for the largest one running Windows (Jan. 2011). The data transfer charge ranges from $0.08 to $0.15 per gigabyte, depending on the volume • Data Cloud S3 (Simple Storage Service) • pricing: http://aws.amazon.com/fr/s3/pricing/ • from $0.055 to $0.14 per GB-month (standard storage), + bandwidth usage (from $0.05 to 0.12 per GB – EU price) + requests (from $0.001 to $0.01 per 1000 requests) • 556 stored billion objects (Oct. 2011) (Marc 2010: 102 billion objects) • data transfer is charged by TB / month data transfer, depending on the source and target of such transfer.
