Delivery Models ● Software as a service (SaaS) – Web-based applications (Google, Facebook) ● Platform as a service (PaaS) – Software environments (Google App Engine, Microsoft Windows Azure) ● Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) – Computing environments (Amazon Web Services, Rackspace Cloud) – This presentation will focus on IaaS 5

IaaS Deployment Models ● Public – Third party off-site service provider (Amazon Web Services, Rackspace Cloud) ● Private – Virtualization running in your data center (OpenStack, Xen Cloud Platform) ● Hybrid – Combination of public and private models 6

Managing Your Online Presence ● Use an IaaS deployment model to: – Create an online presence – Expand and scale to meet demand ● Amount of investment varies for each deployment model – Public – Private – Hybrid 7

Public IaaS ● Only pay for exactly what you use (computing resources, storage, bandwidth) – No upfront hardware cost – Costs scale with increased demand – Opportunity to outsource IT services 8

Public IaaS - Examples ● Amazon Web Services (AWS) – Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) – Simple Storage Service (S3) ● Rackspace Cloud – Cloud Servers – Cloud Files 9

Monthly Cloud Server Cost 256 MB RAM, 15.5 GB RAM, 256 MB RAM, 15.5 GB RAM, 10 GB Disk 620 GB Disk 10 GB Disk 620 GB Disk Data from rackspace.com/cloud 10

Monthly Cloud Storage Cost 15 cents / GB / month Data from rackspace.com/cloud 11

Monthly Outbound Bandwidth Cost 18 cents / GB / month Data from rackspace.com/cloud 12

Monthly Inbound Bandwidth Cost 8 cents / GB / month Data from rackspace.com/cloud 13

Private IaaS ● Many free and open source software options available – No software cost – Leverage existing hardware infrastructure – Adjust resources with changing demand – In-house IT services 14

Private IaaS - Examples ● OpenStack – OpenStack Compute – OpenStack Object Storage – OpenStack Imaging Service ● Xen Cloud Platform (XCP) – Xen Hypervisor – Open vSwitch – Xen Management API (XAPI) 15

OpenStack Architecture openstack.org 16

XCP Architecture xen.org 17

Hybrid IaaS ● Leverage existing private infrastructure while bursting and/or migrating into the public cloud – Carefully mix public and private cloud resources – Optimize public and private infrastructure costs – Selectively outsource IT services 18

Hybrid Cloud Architecture cloudave.com 19

Cloud Computing Challenges ● Privacy and security – Data stored on public servers – Malware protection outsourced ● Availability and performance – Online service outages and backups – Content delivery networks or content distribution networks (CDNs) ● Open standards – Image format compatibility 20

Cloud Computing Adoption spiceworks.com 21

IaaS Adoption gogrid.com 22

Future of Cloud Computing ● Web-based operating systems – Google Chrome OS ● Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) – Citrix XenDesktop, VMware View, Spice ● Client virtualization – Citrix XenClient, Virtual Computer’s NxTop, Qubes OS ● Desktop as a service (DaaS) – Combination of the above 23

Summary● Cloud computing delivery models are changing the way we think about software● IaaS (focused on in this talk) can be used to cost-effectively grow an online presence● Need to balance cloud computing tradeoffs● Cloud computing is becoming practical for businesses to adopt● The technologies are still new, but maturing● There is an exciting future ahead! 24
