Intro. To Cloud Computing

Cheng‐Fu Chou 2013

What is Cloud Computing

• How can we define Cloud Computing?– What does (and does not) constitute a “cloud” platform?

• Enabling technologies for cloud computing– Virtual Machines

– Virtualized StorageVirtualized Storage

– Web Services

• ... Cloud computing is Internet‐based ti h b h dcomputing, whereby shared resources, 

software and information are provided to computers and other devices on demand, like the electricity.

• Wikipedia

• ... a style of computing in which dynamically l bl d ft i t li dscalable and often virtualized resources are 

provided as a service over the Internet”

• “... a pay‐per‐use model for enabling il bl i t d d t kavailable, convenient, on‐demand network 

access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.” 

• National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) 11

• Clouds are a large pool of easily usable and accessible virtualized resources (such as hardware, developmentvirtualized resources (such as hardware, development platforms and/or services). These resources can be dynamically reconfigured to adjust to a variable load (scale), allowing also for an optimum resource utilization. This pool of resources is typically exploited by a pay‐per‐use model in which guarantees are offered by the Infrastructure Provider by means of customized SLAs.

• Paper by Vaquero et. al.: “A break in the clouds: towards a cloud definition

Cloud Computing Defined• Shared resources, resources are abstracted / 

virtualized 

S ft Pl tf St I f t t– Software, Platform, Storage, Infrastructure

• Internet‐based, open interface and on demand

• Elastic capacity

– scale up/down on demand.

• Pay‐per‐use (no commitment, utility prices).

How many/good/long– How many/good/long

– According to service level agreement (SLA)

Common Ground

• Pay‐per‐use (no commitment, utility prices)

• Elastic capacity – scale up/down on demand

• Self‐service interface

• Resources are abstracted / virtualized

Enabling Technologies

• Several key components have matured and ti l f Cl d C tiare essential for Cloud Computing

– Virtual Machines

– Virtualized Storage– Web Services

Virtual Machines

• For past few years, VM technology has b i d h /fbecome pervasive and cheap/free– VMWare [ESX/GSX Server, Workstation]

– XenSource [XenEnterprise/Server/Express]– Swsoft/Parallel [Virtuozzo, Desktop]

– Microsoft [Virtual Server]Microsoft [Virtual Server]

Virtual Machines

• Factors contributing to rising profile:– Commodity multi‐core machines– Hardware assisted virtualization – using Intel VT and AMD Pacifica – runs unmodified OS at near native speeds

– Integration of VM tech. into mainstream server OS’s 

Virtual Machines

• Improving utilization by multiplexing many VM h i l h t ( lid ti )VMs on one physical host (consolidation)

• Agile deployment and management of services

• Reliability : On demand cloning, (live) migration & checkpointmigration & checkpoint

Virtualized Storage

• Distributed File Systems:– Google File System (GFS)– Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS)

• Cluster File Systems:– Vmware vStorage VMFS

– XenServer Storage Pool– XenServer Storage Pool

Web Services

• SOAP– XML Messages– Web Services Description Language (WSDL)

• REST / RESTful– GET POST PUT DELETE for HTTP– GET, POST, PUT, DELETE for HTTP

– More lightweight HTTP/JSON schemes

Cloud Computing ‐ Enabling Technologies • Several key components have matured and are essential building blocks of many Cloud services: – Web 2.0

• ex: Ajex, Web Service, HTML5,…

– Distributed/Cluster/Grid computing• ex: MapReduce, Service Oriented Architecture 

Distributed Storage– Distributed Storage• ex. Hadoop Distributed File System, Google File System, Google BigTable, Amazon S3

– Virtualization • ex. Xen, Vmware, KVM, VirtualBox

How did we get here

• What about:– Cluster Computing– Grid Computing

Cluster Computing

• Clusters are linked computer systems that can t t f t ti dcooperate to perform computations and 

deliver services:– Often function/appear as single server

– Typically linked over LAN– Offers scalability over single‐servery g

– Used for high‐availability (redundant), load balancing, shared computing (w/ IPC)

Grid Computing

• Grids are autonomous and dynamic di t ib t d t ib t d b ltidistributed resources contributed by multi‐organizations.– Can offer computing, network, sensor, and storage resources

– Resources are loosely coupled, heterogeneous, geographically dispersed

– Used in diverse fields: climate modeling, drug design and protein analysis to solve “Grand Challenges”

Grid Computing

• Traditional Grid resource management t h i did t f i d ltechniques did not ensure fair and equal access to resources in many systems:– Traditional metrics (throughput, waiting time, slowdown) failed to capture the more subtle requirements of users

– No incentives for users to be flexible about resource req. or job deadlines

– No provisions to accommodate users with urgent work

Types of Clouds

Public Cloud

• Publicly accessible, self‐service mode– Access via Web Services– Access via management portal

• Free or pay‐per‐use

• No ongoing contract or commitment

Private Cloud

• Emulate Public Cloud on private / internal resources

• Gives benefits of Clouds (elasticity, dynamic provisioning, multiplexing ) while:– Maintaining control of resources (security)

– Meeting corporate/regulatory reqMeeting corporate/regulatory req.

– Option to scale out to Public Cloud

Hybrid Cloud

• Combination of private/internal and external Cl dCloud resources

• “Cloudbursting” to handle “Flash Crowds”– Provision additional resources from Public Clouds on‐demand

– Release resource when no longer neededg

Software as a Service (SaaS)

• SaaS is a model of software deployment where an application is hosted as a service provided to 

hcustomers across the Internet. 

• Saas alleviates the burden of software maintenance/support– but users relinquish control over software versions and requirements.

T h d i hi h i l d• Terms that are used in this sphere include – Platform as a Service (PaaS) and 

– Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

Virtualization

• Virtual workspaces: – An abstraction of an execution environment that can be made 

dynamically available to authorized clients by using well‐defined y y y gprotocols, 

– Resource quota (e.g. CPU, memory share),

– Software configuration (e.g. O/S, provided services). 

• Implement on Virtual Machines (VMs): – Abstraction of a physical host machine,

– Hypervisor intercepts and emulates instructions from VMs, and allows management of VMs,

– VMWare, Xen, etc.

• Provide infrastructure API:– Plug‐ins to hardware/support structures Hardware

Performance: Para-virtualization (e.g. Xen) is very close to raw physical performance!

Virtualization in General

• Advantages of virtual machines:– Run operating systems where the physical hardware is 

l blunavailable,

– Easier to create new machines, backup machines, etc.,

– Software testing using “clean” installs of operating systems and software,

– Emulate more machines than are physically available,

– Timeshare lightly loaded systems on one hostTimeshare lightly loaded systems on one host,

– Debug problems (suspend and resume the problem machine),

– Easy migration of virtual machines (shutdown needed or not).

– Run legacy systems!

What is the purpose and benefits?

• Cloud computing enables companies and applications, which are system infrastructure d d b f ldependent, to be infrastructure‐less.

• By using the Cloud infrastructure on “pay as used and on demand”, all of us can save in capital and operational investment!

• Clients can:– Put their data on the platform instead of on their own desktop PCs and/or on their own servers.

– They can put their applications on the cloud and use the servers within the cloud to do processing and data manipulations etc.

Cloud‐Sourcing

• Why is it becoming a Big Deal:– Using high‐scale/low‐cost providers,Any time/place access via web browser– Any time/place access via web browser,

– Rapid scalability; incremental cost and load sharing,– Can forget need to focus on local IT.

• Concerns:– Performance, reliability, and SLAs,– Control of data, and service parameters,Control of data, and service parameters,– Application features and choices,– Interaction between Cloud providers,– No standard API – mix of SOAP and REST!– Privacy, security, compliance, trust…
