Cloud engineering is the application of systematic and disciplined approaches to the ideation, development, operation and maintenance of cloud computing. It focuses on infrastructure as a service, platform as a service and software as a service. Cloud engineering draws from areas like system engineering, software engineering and security engineering. It aims to facilitate cloud adoption and standardization. Key benefits include reduced costs, improved quality, scalability and agility. The term was coined in 2007 and the first IEEE conference on cloud engineering was held in 2013.

2. Learning Objective
After the successful completion of this session,
learner will be able to
● appreciate rationale for cloud engineering
discipline
● understand basic terms, scope and nature
of Cloud engineering

3. Agenda
● Cloud Engineering - meaning
● Core features
● Key benefits
● History

4. Cloud Engineering
Cloud engineering is the application of a
Systematic, disciplined, quantifiable, and
interdisciplinary approach
to
the ideation, conceptualization, development, operation
and maintenance of Cloud Computing study and
applied research of the approach of engineering to cloud

5. Cloud engineering
● It is a maturing and evolving discipline
● to facilitate the adoption, strategization,
operationalization, industrialization, standardization,
productization, commoditization and governance of
cloud solutions
● leading towards a cloud ecosystem.
Cloud engineering = “cloud service engineering”

6. Why Cloud engineering?
● The nature of commodity-like capabilities delivered
by cloud services and
● the inherent challenges in this business model
● drive the need for cloud engineering as the process of
“ designing the system necessary to leverage the
power and economics of cloud resources to solve
business problems

7. Core Features
Cloud engineering focuses on
● IaaS
● PaaS
● SaaS

8. Core Features
● Cloud engineering is a multi-disciplinary method
● encompassing contributions from diverse areas such as

16. Key benefits-1
● Reduction in the average time to create and deploy a new
solution
● Reduction in the number of defects per solution
● Reduction in the average engineering effort to deploy and
maintain a solution, and therefore reduction in the average
engineering cost per solution

17. Key benefits-2
● Increase in the total number of solutions that can be effectively
deployed and managed
● reduced time-to-market and time-to-revenue for new solutions
● improved competitive solution value
● higher profit margin
● improved ability to hit market windows

18. Key benefits-3
● better solution quality and improved company
reputation for quality
● improved scalability of business model in terms of
solutions and markets
● increased agility to expand into new market
● reduced risk in solution deployments

19. History
● The term Cloud engineering was coined in
2007
● Concept of cloud engineering introduced in
2009

20. Professional World
Cloud engineering has given rise to active
professional group and is active through
conference
● Ist IEEE international Conference on Cloud
Engineering 2013
Ist IEEE international Conference on Cloud
Engineering 2014
●

21. Conclusion
● Cloud computing creates a new world for application
development.
● Cloud application need a radically different approach
both for development, operations and maintenance.
● Hence the creation of new discipline - cloud
engineering
