Background and Terminology

Between the salespeeks
”Howshouldweutilizeour servers between the peekdayssuch as Xmas and Valentine’s Day?”— wonderedone of the worldslargestretailingcompany

The short and unglamorous answer
Cloud Computing is a new paradigm for deployment of applications
It utilizes virtualization in a massive scale

Cloud Computing = V + C + A + P
Virtualization (Xen)
+ DataCenter (Amazon)
+ PublicAccess (SSH/X.509)
+ PricingModel ($0.08/h)

Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)
Web accessible service
Fast growing business area
No direct logical coupling to cloud computing
Possible to run a SaaS from a desktop computer, although the performance will be bad
Many large SaaS companies are running their own server farms
The term was coined by Salesforce

SaaS vs. Cloud Computing

XaaS vs. Cloud Computing

XaaS
There are many variants of Something-as-a-Service
Component-as-a-Service
Software modules/components
Platform-as-a-Service
Deployment and configureation
Infrastructure-as-a-Service
Virtual resources, such as servers, hard drives, storage, data bases, IP addresses

Sample SaaS

Software cost
Development
Testing
Maintenance
Education
Pays for a lot more features than are used
Licenses
Upgrades
Pay as you go
In-house development
Standard applications

Testing in the cloud
Massive traffic
Geographical dispersed

Extra server / computing power
Simple/easy deployment
Scalable applications
Large computations
Usage areas

(1) Extra server
Project server
Test server
Load generator
. . .
The wear and tear age is here for servers

(2) Easy deployment
Point and click deployment
Easy and quick to try out different setups
5 min

(3) Scalable applications

Infrastructure cloud
Application cloud
Computation cloud
Cloud types

Infrastructure cloud (i-cloud)
As hosting, but in a massive scale
Pay-as-you-go
Rent a server per hour
Virtual server resources
Elastic computing – servers
Elastic storage – hard drives
Storage services – SAN
Queue services – job/task queue
Static IP addresses

Someactors
Amazon Web Services (AWS)
First, biggest and best
Hosting companies
myCityCloud (Swedish)
Rackspace
GoGrid
…

Run your own private i-cloud
Eucaluptus
Open source version of AWS
API compatible with ECS/EBS/S3
Standard in Ubuntu Server 9.x
Enomaly
The original, run by AWS

Application cloud (a-cloud)
Distributed platform for applications
Google App Engine (GAE)
Java/Python, BigTable
Salesforce Force.com
Their own script language, Oracle, enterprise grade
Windows Azure
.NET

Computationcloud (c-cloud)
Apache/Yahoo Hadoop
Distributed computation
Distributed file system
Distributed map-reduce
Open-source Java implementation
Inspired by proprietary tools of Google
HDFS (Google File System GFS)
Map-Reduce (Google ditto)
Hive (Google Big Table)
Large clusters
Yahoo has 20000+ Hadoop nodes

The human cloud (h-cloud)
Manypeopleworking with many tasks
The mechanical Turk (Automaton Chess Player) [1770-1854], turnedout to be a fraud. It was a human inside.

EC2 Instance Types
One EC2 Compute Unit (ECU) provides the equivalent CPU capacity
of a 1.0-1.2 GHz 2007 Opteron or 2007 Xeon processor.

Operating Systems
Without cost and without support
With cost and with support
Complete own build
Possible to create an AMI basedout of an empty disk file.

Global deployment
A region consists of one or more zones
US-East (North Virginia)
US-West (North California)
EU (Ireland)
ASIA (Singapore) - planned
A zone is a logical data center
EU
Regions
US

Prices

AWS Economy
As you go
USD 0,085/h (EC2 Small)
ReservedInstance
USD 0,03/h + 227/yr
USD 0,03/h + 350/3yr
Spot
Bidding
AWS charges for each started hour

Problems

When NOT to use the cloud
Just need a fixed number of servers
Cheaper solutions available
Very specific needs

Legal restrictions
Certain payment, medical or personal information might not be stored outside EU
The rules never anticipated the ‘cloud’
EBS
SQS
AMI
S3
CloudFront

The future

Affects
Design of new applications
Scalable and fault-tolerant
Testing of these applications
More and better tests in shorter time
Deployment of these applications
Easier, faster and reproducible

Changes
IT Operations department
Able to roll out a new config within an hour
Software Development department
Able to assemble a new mash-up within an hour
Test department
Able to run the whole test suit within an hour
Business department
Able to kick-start a new campaign within an hour
