• The motivation for the cloud begins and ends with

money.

– Customers today demand more yet they are willing to pay

less.

– Applications must be scalable, available and reliable.

– High quality Costs…

(5)

• Availability

– Multiple service Instances

– Geo replication

• Scalability

– Multiple servers (Scale out)

– Load balancing

• Reliability

– Data Replication

(6)

(7)

• Cloud Computing is an Idea …

– Infrastructure is provisioned by a cloud provider.

– Automatic Scale.

– Elasticity. Pay as you use.

– Availability.

– Simple, Automatic, Economic.

• “Packaging of computing resources, such as

computation, storage and services, as a metered

service”. ^Wikipedia

• Basic economical idea behind

– Software as a service

– Pay as you go

– Etc.

• Cloud computing

– broader concept than utility computing and relates to the

underlying architecture in which the services are designed.

(11)

• The ability of a system to handle a growing amount of

work in a capable manner.

– Scale Up

• concurrent programming, common methods for utilizing multi-core

architecture in the context of a single application

– Scale out

• distributed programming, distributing jobs across machines over the

network.

(12)

• The ability to shift and pool resources across disparate

infrastructure.

• Enables data needs and resource availability to be kept

in sync.

• Automatic process.

(13)

• Distribution of data and compute resources across data

centers located in different locations.

• Common Policy for:

– Minimizing Risk (Disaster recovery, Connectivity lose etc.)

– Improving access performance for clients located around the

glob

(14)

Type Of Clouds

(15)

• Next Generation virtualization.

• Automatic provisioning of virtual servers.

• Cloud computing within the enterprise

“Agility and efficiency of a public cloud built on

infrastructure located in your organization.”

(16)

• IAAS – Private servers located on a remote data center.

• Pay as you go.

• Simple Migration and management.

– Application design is nor aware of the cloud

• Provision from a template

– Multiple images

– Custom images

(17)

• PAAS - Applications are hosted in the cloud.

– Scope of service: Applications (Not servers)

• Cloud oriented design

• Infrastructures such as storage, networking, security

OS, and compute power are provided by the cloud

provider.

(18)

• SAAS – On demand software.

• Applications are owned by the provider.

• The customer subscribes and runs its business on a

cloud based engine.

• Multi tenancy

• Simple provisioning

• Examples:

(19)

(20)

• Independent storage to be used by cloud and

on-premises applications and users.

– Relational database

– NoSql database

– Disk volume

– Distributed Cache

– Blobs

– Queues

– Backup services

(21)

• Independent infrastructural provided to cloud and

on-premises applications as a service.

– Identity

– Caching

– Connectivity (service bus, virtual networks …)

– Messaging (Queuing, Push notification …)

– Integration

– Management

• Reasons to a build a cloud application

– Availability

– Reliability

– Automatic scale and elasticity

• Conclusion:

Cloud application is a multi instance application

(30)

• Cloud friendly applications are designed to be stateless.

• State : Temporary data belonging to a multiple steps

transaction.

• State is persisted outside the boundary of a running

process in an independent store.

• Caching is used to reduce the price of data access.

(31)

• Leverage multiple compute instances and distribute

computation between multiple machines.

– Asynchronous messaging

– Job scheduling

– Job tracking and management

– Design for independent jobs

(32)

• Cloud providers supplies SDKs for multiple platforms

(.Net, python, java, etc.)

• Cloud providers supplies a REST management API that

applications can use

• Developers can use cloud emulators

(33)

(34)

• Stateless applications and independent storage

introduce latency

• Communication with a remote database introduce

latency

• There is no guarantee how much time it takes to reach

the data center

• Throughput can grow as required with the number of

allocated resources

(35)

(36)

• Test traditional applications using test platform located

in the cloud

• Test a cloud application

(37)

• Using IAAS you can provision testing environments.

– Large compute clusters

– Large storage

– Identity Store

– Virtual network and service bus

• Simple Replication

• Testing On Demand

– Pay only for running tests.

– Provision the environment before running the test and then

take it down.

(38)

• Price $$$

• Time to Market – Quicker tetsing

• Simple Replication

• Better communication between developer and Tester

– Both have access to the same cloud

• Better availability of testing tools and environments

(39)

• Someone already provisioned an environment for you…

• Use it as SAAS.

• Usually used for performance and load tests.

– Simulate load patterns (e.g. spikes)
