It is not virtualization. To get the value you need standardization and automation on top of that virtualization. Roberto Di Cosmo () Scientific challenges in the Cloud May 20 2010 / Paris 2/5

Challenges in IaaS Optimization of resources: Roberto Di Cosmo () Scientiﬁc challenges in the Cloud May 20 2010 / Paris 3/5

Challenges in IaaS Optimization of resources: share common data in disk and memory (see Decentralized Deduplication in SAN Cluster File Systems, Clements et al., and Satori: Enlightened page sharing, Milos et al. USENIX ’09) optimal VM placement Roberto Di Cosmo () Scientiﬁc challenges in the Cloud May 20 2010 / Paris 3/5

USENIX ’09) optimal VM placement Security: avoiding escapes avoiding mapping of the physical infrastructure, and its exploitation http://cseweb.ucsd.edu/~hovav/dist/cloudsec.pdf Roberto Di Cosmo () Scientiﬁc challenges in the Cloud May 20 2010 / Paris 3/5

Challenges in PaaS Ensuring ﬂexibility, avoiding vendor lock-in, is not easy. Roberto Di Cosmo () Scientiﬁc challenges in the Cloud May 20 2010 / Paris 4/5

Challenges in PaaS Ensuring ﬂexibility, avoiding vendor lock-in, is not easy. N.B.: (re)writing applications for a platform/middleware is not neutral. Roberto Di Cosmo () Scientiﬁc challenges in the Cloud May 20 2010 / Paris 4/5

Transversal Challenges Several challenges are transversal: security: who can break (into) the system? Roberto Di Cosmo () Scientiﬁc challenges in the Cloud May 20 2010 / Paris 5/5

Transversal Challenges Several challenges are transversal: security: who can break (into) the system? data ownership: who can access my data? Roberto Di Cosmo () Scientiﬁc challenges in the Cloud May 20 2010 / Paris 5/5

Transversal Challenges Several challenges are transversal: security: who can break (into) the system? data ownership: who can access my data? please do not simply rely on contracts! Roberto Di Cosmo () Scientiﬁc challenges in the Cloud May 20 2010 / Paris 5/5

Transversal Challenges Several challenges are transversal: security: who can break (into) the system? data ownership: who can access my data? please do not simply rely on contracts! eﬃcient implementation: abstraction is nice, but can it accomodate optimal implementation?

Transversal Challenges Several challenges are transversal: security: who can break (into) the system? data ownership: who can access my data? please do not simply rely on contracts! eﬃcient implementation: abstraction is nice, but can it accomodate optimal implementation? interoperability: SaaS and PaaS try to hide the complexity of the lower layer, but at the price of vendor or technology lock-in Roberto Di Cosmo () Scientiﬁc challenges in the Cloud May 20 2010 / Paris 5/5

Transversal Challenges Several challenges are transversal: security: who can break (into) the system? data ownership: who can access my data? please do not simply rely on contracts! eﬃcient implementation: abstraction is nice, but can it accomodate optimal implementation? interoperability: SaaS and PaaS try to hide the complexity of the lower layer, but at the price of vendor or technology lock-in Bottomline: there is a lot of work ahead.
