7. HIGH LEVEL ARCHITECTURE APPROACH
 Business Goals- Quality, Stakeholder Satisfaction, Flexibility, Market
Share, Compliance, TCO (Total cost of
organization).
 Quality Attributes- Availability, Elasticity, Performance, Security,
Acceptability, Maintainability, Usability.
 Architectural Tactics- Stateless Design, Loose Coupling, Caching,
Partitioning, Multi-Tenancy, Asynchronous
Communication, Claim Based Authentication,
Divide and Conquer, Firewall Traversal, Strong
Encryption, Reliable Messaging, Scale-out
Architecture.

8. We can broadly divide the cloud architecture into two parts whose each of the
ends are connected through a network, usually via Internet.
• Front End- It refers to the client part of cloud computing system. It consists of
interfaces and applications that are required to access the cloud computing
platforms. Example- Web Browser.
• Back End- Back End refers to the cloud itself. It consists of all the resources
required to provide cloud computing services. It comprises of huge data storage,
virtual machines, security mechanism, services, deployment models, servers, etc.
a. It is the responsibility of the back end to provide built-in security
mechanism, traffic control and protocols.
b. The server employs certain protocols, known as middleware, helps the
connected devices to communicate with each other.

11.  Vertical Scale Up- Add more resources to a single computation unit and move a
workload to a computation unit with more resources.
 Horizontal Scale Up- Splitting workload across multiple computation units.
Adding additional computing units having them worked
in concerts.

12.  Common examples- Software as a service, Platform as a service, Infrastructure
as a service.
 Other examples- Business as a service, Storage as a service, Security as a
service, Database as service, Monitoring/management as a
service, Identity as a service, Backup as a service, Desktop as a
service.

13. IaaS provides access to fundamental resources such as physical machines, virtual
machines, virtual storage, etc. Apart from these resources, the IaaS also offers:
• Virtual machine disk storage
• Virtual local area network (VLANs)
• Load balancers
• IP addresses
• Software bundles
All of the above resources are made available to end user via server virtualization.
Moreover, these resources are accessed by the customers as if they own them.

14. PaaS offers the runtime environment for applications. It also offers development &
deployment tools, required to develop applications. PaaS has a feature of point-
and-click tools that enables non-developers to create web applications. Google's
App Engine, Force.com are examples of PaaS offering vendors. Developer may log
on to these websites and use the built-in API to create web-based applications.

15. • Stand-alone Development Environments
The Stand-alone PaaS Works As An Independent Entity For A Specific Function. It Does Not
Include Licensing, Technical Dependencies On Specific SaaS Applications.
• Application Delivery-only Environments
The Application Delivery PaaS Includes On-demand Scaling And Application Security.
• Open Platform As A Service
Open PaaS Offers An Open Source Software That Helps A PaaS Provider To Run Applications.
• Add-on Development Facilities
The Add-on PaaS Allows To Customize The Existing SaaS Platform.

16. Software as a Service (SaaS) model allows to provide software application as a
service to the end users. It refers to a software that is deployed on a hosted service
and is accessible via Internet. SaaS provides us Application Programming Interface
(API), which allows the developer to develop a customized application. There are
several SaaS applications, some of them are listed below:
• Billing and Invoicing System
• Customer Relationship Management (CRM) applications

17. Virtualization is a technique, which allows to share single physical instance of an
application or resource among multiple organizations or tenants (customers). It
does so by assigning a logical name to a physical resource and providing a pointer
to that physical resource when demanded.

18. Creating a virtual machine over existing operating system and hardware is
referred as Hardware Virtualization. Virtual Machines provide an environment
that is logically separated from the underlying hardware. The machine on which
the virtual machine is created is known as host machine and virtual machine is
referred as a guest machine. This virtual machine is managed by a software or
firmware, which is known as hypervisor.
TYPES OF HYPERVISOR
1. Type 1 hypervisor runs on bare system. Examples-
Oracle VM, Sun xVM Server, VirtualLogic VLX.
2. Type 2 hypervisor is a software interface that emulates the devices
with which a system normally interacts. Examples-
Containers, KVM, Microsoft Hyper V, VMWare Fusion.

19. IAAS component stack comprises of hardware, operating system, middleware and
application layers. Operating system layer is split into two layers:
 Lower layer is occupied by the VMM (Hypervisor)
 Higher layer is occupied by an OS running within a VM called a guest OS.
