1.Explain the difference between distributed computing and cloud computing.

How
did the shift to cloud computing overcome some limitations of traditional distributed
systems?

Ans:
Distributed Computing Cloud Computing

quickly by maintaining coordination
between them.

Cloud computing has overcome some limitations of traditional distributed systems by offering
a number of advantages, including:

Cost savings: Cloud computing is more cost-effective than traditional computing because
users only pay for the resources they use.

Scalability: Cloud services can be scaled up or down to meet business demands.

Accessibility: Users can access data and services from anywhere with an internet connection.

Faster time to market: Developers can quickly deploy new instances or retire them.

Better collaboration: Cloud storage enables people to access data from anywhere in the
world.

Managed services: Cloud providers handle maintenance and updates.

Distributed computing is the use of distributed systems to solve a single, sizable problem by
assigning tasks to individual computers. Cloud computing is the use of network-hosted
servers to carry out various tasks like data processing, management, and storage.
2. Define JaaS, PaaS, and SaaS in your own words and provide one unique
example of each. Why do you think these service models are essential in cloud
computing?

Ans:- JaaS:- The Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS) is a set of
application program interfaces (APIs) that can determine the identity of a user or
computer attempting to run Java code and ensure that the entity has the right to
execute the functions requested.

Ex- Typical permission check

Permission p = new FilePermission("/tmp/foo","read");


SecurityManager s = System.getSecurityManager();
if ( s != null) s.checkPermission(p);

The code here is trying to read /tmp/foo. If no SecurityManager is installed (typically


via the -Djava.security.manager command line switch), System.getSecurityManager()
returns null, and access does not need to be verified.

PaaS:- Platform as a Service (PaaS) is a type of cloud computing service model that
offers a flexible, scalable cloud platform to develop, deploy, run, and manage apps.
PaaS provides everything developers need for application development without the
headaches of updating the operating system and development tools or maintaining
hardware.
