Introduction
 Cloud computing is Internet-based computing,
whereby shared resources, software, and
information are provided to computers and other
devices on demand, like the electricity grid.
 Cloud computing is a paradigm shift following
the shift from mainframe to client–server in the
early 1980s. Details are abstracted from the
users, who no longer have need for expertise in,
or control over, the technology infrastructure "in
the cloud" that supports them.
What Is Cloud Computing?
 Cloud computing is Internet based computing
where virtual shared servers provide software,
infrastructure, platform, devices and other
resources and hosting to customers on a pay-as-
you-use basis.
 All information that a digitized system has to
offer is provided as a service in the cloud
computing model. Users can access these
services available on the "Internet cloud" without
having any previous know-how on managing the
resources involved.
History
 Concept originated from telecommunication
companies changing to VPN
 1999:Salesforce. com ‐ Delivery of
applications via web
 2002: Amazon launches Amazon Web
Services (AWS)
 2006: Google Docs, Amazon Elastic Compute
Cloud (EC2)
 2008: Eucalyptus
 2009: Microsoft Azure
Architecture

 Cloud architecture, the systems architecture

of the software systems involved in the
delivery of cloud computing, typically
involves multiple cloud components
communicating with each other over
application programming interfaces, usually
web services.
Cloud computing sample architecture

 This resembles the UNIX philosophy of having

multiple programs each doing one thing well and
working together over universal interfaces.
Complexity is controlled and the resulting systems are
more manageable than their monolithic counterparts.
 The two most significant components of cloud
computing architecture are known as the front end
and the back end.
 The front end is the part seen by the client, i.e. the
computer user. This includes the client’s network (or
computer) and the applications used to access the
cloud via a user interface such as a web browser.
 The back end of the cloud computing architecture is
the ‘cloud’ itself, comprising various computers,
servers and data storage devices.
Types of Cloud Computing
Public cloud

 Public clouds are made available to the general

public by a service provider who hosts the cloud
infrastructure. Generally, public cloud providers like
Amazon AWS, Microsoft and Google own and
operate the infrastructure and offer access over the
Internet.
 With this model, customers have no visibility or
control over where the infrastructure is located. It is
important to note that all customers on public clouds
share the same infrastructure pool with limited
configuration, security protections and availability
variances.
Private cloud
 Private cloud is cloud infrastructure
dedicated to a particular organization.
Private clouds allow businesses to host
applications in the cloud, while addressing
concerns regarding data security and control,
which is often lacking in a public cloud
environment.
 It is not shared with other organizations,
whether managed internally or by a third-
party, and it can be hosted internally or
externally.
 Hybrid cloud
Hybrid Clouds are a composition of two or more
clouds (private, community or public) that remain
unique entities but are bound together offering the
advantages of multiple deployment models.
In a hybrid cloud, you can leverage third party cloud
providers in either a full or partial manner;
increasing the flexibility of computing. Augmenting
a traditional private cloud with the resources of a
public cloud can be used to manage any
unexpected surges in workload.
Components
 SaaS (software as a service): SaaS refers
to software that’s made available as a web-
based service.
 Utility computing: The predecessor of
cloud computing, utility computing
provides the ability to access storage and
virtual servers on demand.
 Cloud-based web services: Similar to
Saas, web services in the cloud allow you
to offer services online, such as credit card
processing services, employee payroll
processing or viewing an interactive map.
 MSP (managed service providers): The
Recent Development’s
 In 2007, Google, IBM, and a number of
universities embarked on a large scale cloud
computing research project. In early 2008,
Eucalyptus became the first open source AWS
API compatible platform for deploying
private clouds.
Advantages of Cloud Computing
 Flexibility: There is a high rate of flexibility.
 Low Cost: Companies can save big by employing
cloud computing as it eliminates cost for hardware
and software.
 Speed & Scales :Traditional methods to buy and
configure hardware and software are time
consuming.
 Easier Management of Data and Information:
Since all data are located on a centralized location,
data are more organized making it easy to manage.
 Device Diversity :We can access our applications
and data anywhere in the world, on any system.
Advantages of Cloud Computing…
 Increased Storage Capacity :Increased Storage
Capacity is another benefit of the cloud computing, as
it can store more data as compared to a personal
computer.
 Easy to Learn and Understand: Since people are quiet
used to cloud applications like Gmail, Google Docs, so
anything related to the same is most likely to be
understood by the users.
 Automatic Updating: It saves companies time and
effort to update multiples server.
 Customize Setting: Cloud computing also allows you
to customize your business applications.
Disadvantages of Cloud Computing

 Dependency: One major disadvantages of cloud

computing is user’s dependency on the provider.
 Risk: Cloud computing services means taking
services from remote servers.
 Requires a Constant internet connection: The
most obvious disadvantage is that Cloud
computing completely relies on network
connections.
 Security: Security and privacy are the biggest
concerns about cloud computing.
 Migration Issue: Migration problem is also a big
concern about cloud computing.
Conclusion
 So, while cloud computing is really really great
and you’re probably already using it, either for
business of for personal means, here’s what
we’ve learned from taking a look at the pros
and cons:
 Cloud computing is a really cheap way for
companies to have all the resources they need
in once place.
 It’s a much better way to spread your
resources, and it becomes easier to access
things from longer distances.
