11. NIST – CLOUD COMPUTING

12. WHAT IS CLOUD COMPUTING
7/1/2017CLOUDBURSTING CORP 12
Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network
access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources, such as
networks, servers, storage, applications, and services that can be rapidly
provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service
provider interaction.

13. FIVE ESSENTIAL CHARACTERISTICS
• On-demand self-service. A consumer can unilaterally provision computing capabilities,
such as server time and network storage, as needed automatically without requiring
human interaction with each service provider
• Broad network access. Capabilities are available over the network and accessed through
standard mechanisms that promote use by heterogeneous thin or thick client platforms
(e.g., mobile phones, tablets, laptops, and workstations).
• Resource pooling. The provider’s computing resources are pooled to serve multiple
consumers using a multi-tenant model, with different physical and virtual resources
dynamically assigned and reassigned according to consumer demand
• Rapid elasticity. Capabilities can be elastically provisioned and released, in some cases
automatically, to scale rapidly outward and inward commensurate with demand
• Measured service. Cloud systems automatically control and optimize resource use by
leveraging a metering capability at some level of abstraction appropriate to the type of
service

14. THREE CLOUD SERVICE MODELS (NIST)

15. FOUR DEPLOYMENT MODELS
7/1/2017CLOUDBURSTING CORP 15

16. CLOUD DEPLOYMENT MODELS
Public cloud. The cloud infrastructure is provisioned for open use
by the general public. It may be owned, managed, and operated by
a business, academic, or government organization, or some
combination of them. It exists on the premises of the cloud
provider.
Private cloud. The cloud infrastructure is provisioned for exclusive
use by a single organization comprising multiple consumers (e.g.,
business units). It may be owned, managed, and operated by the
organization, a third party, or some combination of them, and it
may exist on or off premises.
Community cloud. The cloud infrastructure is provisioned for
exclusive use by a specific community of consumers from
organizations that have shared concerns.
7/1/2017CLOUDBURSTING CORP 16

17. CLOUD DEPLOYMENT MODELS
Hybrid cloud. The cloud infrastructure is a composition of two or
more distinct cloud infrastructures (private, community, or public)
that remain unique entities, but are bound together by
standardized or proprietary technology that enables data and
application portability

20. Comparison of Traditional Computing Versus Cloud Computing
Traditional Computing Cloud Computing
Capital and Operational Expenses Operational Expenses
Manually Provisioned Self Provisioned
Fixed Capacity Elastic Capacity
Dedicated Hardware Centralized Hardware
Pay for Capacity Pay for Use
Managed through Sys admins Managed Through APIs
No Disaster Recovery DR and High Availability
Low Agility High Agility
Electricity Costs, Cooling Costs etc. Green Computing
The following comparison shows that the cloud is more flexible, scalable, can be provisioned faster and contains more
features than the traditional model.

Cloud Computing Major Actors
Cloud Reference Architecture and Common Terminologies
Actor Definition
Cloud Consumer Person or organization that maintains a business relationship with, and uses service from,
Cloud Providers.
Cloud Provider Person, Organization, or entity responsible for making a service available to Cloud
Consumers.
Cloud Auditor A party that can conduct independent assessment of cloud services, information system
operations, performance, and security of the cloud implementation.
Cloud Broker An entity that manages the use, performance, and delivery of cloud services, and
negotiates relationships between Cloud Providers and Cloud Consumers.
Cloud Carrier The intermediary that provides connectivity and transport of cloud services from Cloud
Providers to Cloud Consumers.

23. Multi-Tenancy
Multi-tenancy is a resource pooling feature of cloud computing that enables an instance of the resources to
serve different consumers (tenants), each of which is isolated from the other.
Cloud Reference Architecture and Common Terminologies
Private Cloud of ABC Company with 3 business units, each with
different security, SLA, governance and chargeback policies on shared
infrastructure
Public Cloud Provider with 3 business customers, each with different
security, SLA, governance and billing policies on shared infrastructure

29.  Virtualization was used in mainframe computing as early as in 1960s by IBM.
 It was in 1999 that VMware introduced virtualization into the x86 platform (PC environment).
 Source--IBM
VIRTUALIZATION
1960s – IBM released
hypervisors on CP-40
and CP-67 operating
system [2]
2001 – IBM launched a
hypervisor for midrange
UNIX systems [2] 2003 – Public release of
Xen [6]
Many more vendors and
enhanced virtualization
solutions are released
2004 – Microsoft
releases Virtual Server
2005 [7]
2001 – VMware released
ESX Server 1.0
[5]
1999 – VMware introduced
virtualization to the x86
platform with VMware
Workstation 1.0 [3] [4]

30.  Virtualization is an enabling technology for cloud computing and cloud computing services.
 For cloud computing to occur, it is necessary to separate resources from their physical location. Without
virtualization, the cloud becomes very difficult to manage.
 In addition, cloud computing is a business model where ownership of physical resources rests with one party, and
the service users, which form the other party, are billed for their real use.
