A Few Words about Clouds

Public Clouds

Private Clouds

Hybrid Clouds

IaaS – PaaS – SaaS Infrastructure Platform Software as a Service as a Service as a Service> Virtual Servers > Virtual App Server > Software or Service that you use> Similar to Virtualization > Handles Scale-Out > Components that you> Manage Everything > Mostly Managed by add/integrate into your Yourself Provider app

The Cloud’s Business Model

Bare metal is not enough

PaaS “Platform as a service (PaaS) is the delivery of acomputing platform and solution stack as a service.”

PaaS - Advantages  Easier to use than IaaS:You would need to install a server anyway  Automatic scaling   Resources automatically added  Can offer additional service   Tuned for Cloud   Technical e.g. data store, messaging, GUI elements   …but IaaS does the same (Amazon)

PaaS - Disadvantages  Less flexible   Pre-defined programming model   Defines environment  Programming model might be different   Hard to port existing code   Need to learn  Lock-in   Higher-value services  Development in the Cloud  Potentially expensive

Clouds by Example

GoogleAppEngine

Google AppEngine  Infrastructure offered by Google   Infrastructure completely hidden – pure PaaS  Supports Java and Python  Very restrictive sandbox   Java classes white list   no Thread, no file system, …  Supports version handling of applications  Supports elastic scaling  Documentation + SDK + Eclipse Plug In available   SDK contains environment for local tests http://code.google.com/appengine/

Google AppEngine for Business  Centralized administration.  99.9% uptime SLA  Premium developer support available.  Sign on for users from your Google Apps domain  Announced   SSL on your company’s domain for secure communications   Access to advanced Google services   Relational database http://code.google.com/appengine/

Google AppEngine Services  Bigtable* (NoSQL)   Task queuing*  Memcache   Blob store* for data >1MB  URL Fetch   Channel (talk to JavaScript  EMail in the browser)  XMPP* (proprietary API)   Numerous other services  Image Manipulation* available (not tied to App Engine)  Authentication /   Google Predict, Google Authorization* BigQuery, AdSense, Search, … * Proprietary API

AWSElastic Beanstalk

AWS Elastic Beanstalk  Collection of Cloud Offerings (mostly IaaS)   Infrastructure visible  Based on the Amazon EC2 infrastructure, Auto Scaling and S3  Only Java   Linux + OpenJDK + Tomcat  Currently in beta   only in US-East  Eclipse Plug In available  Supports version handling of applications  Supports elastic scaling depending on load indicators  Simple Monitoring built in  Detailed control over the environment   Tomcat parameters, used AMIs, log in to machine etc. http://aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/

AWS Elastic Beanstalk  Much like your average Enterprise Java environment   =Tomcat + RDBMS  Cloud features like elastic scaling available  Can easily add other AWS elements  Runs on a proven environment  But: 1 server = 1 virtual machine   GAE can run multiple applications on one machine   More cost efficient (?)   Scaling is “slow” as an image needs to be started and provisioned http://aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/

AWS Services  Elastic Compute Cloud   Simple Email Service (SES)* (EC2)   Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)*  Elastic Map Reduce*   Simple Storage Service (S3)*  Auto Scaling   Elastic Block Storage (EBS)*  SimpleDB : Big Table like   … NoSQL database*  Simple Queue Service (SQS) *   Third party offerings like   https://mongohq.com/ for  Simple Notification Service MongoDB (SNS)*   https://cloudant.com/ for  Relational Database Service CouchDB (RDS) * Proprietary API

AWSElastic Beanstalk Demo

VMwareCloud Foundry

VMware Cloud Foundry  Open Source   At GitHub under Apache2 license  Pretty new   No commercial offering yet   Hosted at cloudfoundry.com, currently closed beta  Can run Java, Ruby and Node.js   Spring, Grails, Rails, Sinatra & Node supported   Support for other languages currently in development by the community  Can be hosted anywhere   IaaS integration is not part of the open-sourced components  Eclipse Plug In available  Supports elastic scaling depending on load indicators   Well… you can build it  http://aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/

VMware Cloud Foundry  Much like your average Enterprise Java environment   =Tomcat + RDBMS  Cloud features like elastic scaling available  Runs on a proven environment (Ubuntu)  Allows access to Tomcat’s log files  1 virtual machine = n servers http://aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/

VMware Cloud Foundry Services  Relational Database Service (MySQL)  Key-Value Store (Redis)  Document Store (mongoDB)  Messaging Service (RabbitMQ)  More to come in the future  API to build your own service * Proprietary API

Summary General It’s very easy to run Java apps in the cloud Some things are different, not everything is solvedIaaS Maximum control Automatic installation needed Google App Engine Very limited sandbox Advantage? Amazon Beanstalk Standard Enterprise Java Stack Lots of additional Amazon Web Services Cloud Foundry Services model Open Source There is more – it’s worth exploring
