 What is Cloud Computing
In Simple Terms, Cloud offers…
Definition

Pay-per-use for computation power

“A pool of abstracted, highly scalable,
and managed compute infrastructure Virtually infinite computation resources
capable of hosting end-customer Automatic on-demand scalability
applications and billed by consumption”

Where does the term “Cloud” come from ?

“Cloud” is widely used as a metaphor for the Internet

Internet
Internet is the foundation of Cloud computing
 What is Cloud Computing
An Analogy - Electricity
“Computation Power” is now available like Electricity
You pay for what you use.
You rely on a trusted third-party providers

Variants

Grid Computing Utility Computing

Grid computing is a collection of
servers that are clustered together to Metered use of computational resources
attack a single problem. For a period Origin from utility services (Electricity)
of time, the entire resources of the
grid are available to an user to tackle a
particularly difficult compute problem.
- Rich Wolski, University of California

Cloud setup within Org’s data center Limited on-demand scaling

Control on security and audit Expensive than public cloud

 Google App Engine – An Overview
Cloud computing – Only PaaS & SaaS, No IaaS
Initially started with Python Runtime
Recently added support for Java
Can deploy standard J2EE WAR Files
Requires a special deployment descriptor
Provides simple storage as integrated feature
Storage supports GQL – Google Query Language
