What is Cloud Computing? Cloud computing is using the internet to access someone else's software running on someone else's hardware in someone else's data center. Lewis Cunningham 5
What is Cloud Computing? Distributed Computing • Remember SETI@Home? • Heard of HADOOP? • Grid Computing • Distributed computing is spreading a large task over many machines • Distributed computing can be cloud computing but is not cloud computing
6
What is Cloud Computing? Software as a Service SaaS • Gmail & Yahoo Mail • Google Docs • Mozy Online Backups • EMC Fortress Remember Application Service Providers? The next big thing of 2000 that didn't happen.
7
What is Cloud Computing? Platform as a Service PaaS • Salesforce.com • Google App Engine • Aptana • Provides a development platform and hosting 8
What is Cloud Computing? Infrastructure as a Service IaaS • Amazon Web Services (AWS) • MS Windows Azure • AT&T Synaptic • HP Enterprise Cloud • GoGrid, Rackspace, Citrix OpenStack (OSS Cloud) • Everybody and their brother
9
What is Cloud Computing? Infrastructure as a Service IaaS Key Features • Virtualization • Nearly instance scalability • Everything is a service • Utility style (pay for what you use) • Hardware, OS, Software, Storage & Network
