Cloud Computing - Xploreraj

Cloud computing allows users to access computing resources like software, storage, and processing power over the internet rather than maintaining their own infrastructure. It provides services at different layers including software, platform, and infrastructure as a service. Cloud services can be deployed in public, private, hybrid, or community models. Key characteristics of cloud computing include on-demand self-service, broad network access, resource pooling, rapid elasticity, and measured service. While cloud computing provides advantages like reduced costs and increased scalability, security and performance issues remain challenges for both cloud providers and users. Experts predict that by 2020, most computing activities will be performed through cloud servers operated by outside firms.

Cloud Examples
Layers
●
A computer hardware and/or software that relies on cloud computing for
Client application delivery, or that delivers cloud services, and, in either case, is
essentially useless without it.

●
Software as a Service (SaaS) delivers software as a service over the Internet,
Application eliminating the need to install and run the application on the customer’s own
computer, and simplifying maintenance and support.

●
Platform as a Service (PaaS) delivers a computing platform and/or a solution
Platform stack as a service, and facilitates deployment of applications without the cost and
complexity of buying and managing the underlying hardware and software layers.

●
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) delivers computer infrastructure - typically a
Infrastructure platform virtualization environment – as a service. Rather than purchasing servers,
software or other equipments, clients instead buy those as a fully outsourced service.

●
The server layer constitutes of computer hardware and/or computer software
Server that are specifically designed to deliver the cloud services, including multi-
core processors, cloud-specific operating systems and combined offerings.

Essential Cloud Characteristics

• On-demand self-service
• Broad network access
• Resource pooling
- Location independence
• Rapidelasticity
• Measured service
Security in Cloud
Two Broad Categories of Cloud Security

► Security issues faced by cloud providers


(organizations providing services via the cloud).
→ The providers must ensure the security & protection
of their infrastructure and clients’ data and
applications.

► Security issues faced by the cloud customers.


→ The customer must ensure that the provider has
taken proper security measures to protect their
information.
Dimensions of Cloud Security
Security and Privacy Compliance Legal and
• Data Protection • Business Contractual Issues
• Identity Management Continuity and • Liability
Data Recovery • Intellectual
• Physical and Personal • Logs and Audit Property
Security Trails • End-of-Service
• Availability • Unique
• Application Security Compliance
• Privacy Requirements
The Inadequacies of Cloud !
1. SLA (Service Level Agreements)
2. Performance
3. Trust Deficit Between Customer and Provider
4. Security Issues
5. Making False Promises
Still, Why Cloud Computing ?
1. Software as a Subscription (Pay as you go)
2. Reduced Software Maintenance
3. Increased Reliability
4. Increased Scalability
5. Cost Reduction
6. Environmentally Friendly
7. Matches Current Computing Trends
8. Portability/ Accessibility
9. Efficient Use of Computer Resources
10. Versionless Software
The Future
→ A solid majority of technology experts and
stakeholders expect that by 2020, most users will
perform most computing and communicating activities
through connections to servers operated by outside
firms.
→ This does not mean, however, that most of these
experts think the desktop computer will disappear
soon. The majority sees a hybrid life in the next
decade, as some computing functions move towards
the cloud and others remain based on personal
computers.
