From Grid to Cloud ?
 The “Grid Vision” is  “To solve together a (scientific) problem, by connecting the distributed resources (of scientists) within different administrative domains dynamically and coordinately with the help of fast networks to build a „virtual computing center/organization” (According to Foster/Kesselman; end of last century)  The Cloud Vision is  not so well defined!!  Many Grid slides showed the virtual computing center as a “Cloud” 2 From Grid to Cloud Computing | © 2008 by Knauer/Kornmayer; made available under the EPL v1.0

What makes the Cloud a
hype? Pay-per-use Virtualization Web2.0 SaaS Grid Green Computing Utility Computing IaaS PaaS SaaS – Software as a Service PaaS – Platform as a Service IaaS – Infrastructure as a Service  Business-like spoken  “organisations are switching from company-owned hardware and software assets to per-use service-based models“ (Gartner 2008)  transform CAPEX to OPEX  “people's applications and information are going to be accessible to them from anywhere because it will all be up there in the Cloud.” (Eric Schmidt/Google) 3 From Grid to Cloud Computing | © 2008 by Knauer/Kornmayer; made available under the EPL v1.0

g-Eclipse and the Cloud 
Provides a middleware/infrastructure independent model for Grid access g-Eclipse  Including dedicated views and wizards Implementation Layer  Support as of today two Grid middlewares (Middleware)  gLite  Grid middleware of the LHC accelerator (CERN)  GRIA Abstraction Layer  (service-oriented middleware to support B2B collaborations; Core UI based on WSRF)  Interesting question:  Can we integrate the infrastructure from Amazon Eclipse Platform Web Services (AWS) in the g-Eclipse framework??  Simple Storage Service (S3) Eclipse Extension Point  Elastic Computing Cloud (EC2) 7 From Grid to Cloud Computing | © 2008 by Knauer/Kornmayer; made available under the EPL v1.0

g-Eclipse – the project 
www.geclipse.eu  www.eclipse.org/geclipse  Project funded by the European  Technology project at the Commission Eclipse Foundation (INFSO-32347)  Release 1.0.0 with stable API  8 partners scheduled for end of 2008  Including AWS support  Gathering community  i.e. in different Grid projects worldwide  by collaborating with other Eclipse projects  Until end of 2008 8 From Grid to Cloud Computing | © 2008 by Knauer/Kornmayer; made available under the EPL v1.0

Prerequisites for the demo 
Amazon AWS Account  http://aws.amazon.com/  One of the available 3.4 Eclipse Downloads  g-Eclipse Framework  http://download.eclipse.org/technology/geclipse/updates/1.0/  g-Eclipse Amazon Webservice Integration  http://www.geclipse.eu/update/1.0/  We work on moving it to eclipse.org  Switch to the g-Eclipse User Perspective and start creating a new Grid Project  AMI with image ID: ami-2766824e (or ask for an updated one)  You can connect e.g. via ssh to user 'tomcat' with PW 'EclipseCon'  See README in /home/tomcat 9 From Grid to Cloud Computing | © 2008 by Knauer/Kornmayer; made available under the EPL v1.0

Demo mode  Create a
Grid project for Amazon Web service  Including the definition of a Virtual Organisation  Access data at S3 resources  Based on EFS  Secure authorisation and interoperability  Start a Cloud computing instance at EC2  Open seamless connection  Start OSGi remotely  Deploy bundles into a running Tomcat with p2  Enjoy a simple RAP-based application  Screenshots and (movies) 10 From Grid to Cloud Computing | © 2008 by Knauer/Kornmayer; made available under the EPL v1.0

Summary  g-Eclipse  is
an extensible framework which enables intuitive and easy access for various Grid actors  relies on the Eclipse framework  Provides Grid model to seamlessly integrate Grid and Cloud resources  can be extended to support different Grid middleware systems.  gLite, GRIA, AWS are already available  Grid computing and Cloud computing are similar in many senses  Grid + Cloud  Groud  g-Eclipse can contribute to the future Eclipse runtime framework supporting IaaS, SaaS, PaaS 11 From Grid to Cloud Computing | © 2008 by Knauer/Kornmayer; made available under the EPL v1.0
