UNIT I - BASIC CONCEPTS OF CLOUD

1. Define – Cloud Computing.
Cloud computing, often referred to as simply “the cloud,” is the delivery of on-
demand computing resources—everything from applications to data centers—over the
Internet on a pay-for-use basis. Storing and accessing data and programs over the Internet
instead of your computer's hard drive
2. What is business on demand?
Business On Demand is not just about utility computing as it has a much broader set of
ideas about the transformation of business practices, process transformation, and technology
implementations.
The essential characteristics of on-demand businesses are responsiveness to the
dynamics of business, adapting to variable cost structures, focusing on core business
competency, and resiliency for consistent availability.
3. What are the facilities provided by virtual organization?
The formation of virtual task forces, or groups, to solve specific problems associated
with the virtual organization.
The dynamic provisioning and management capabilities of the resource required meeting the
SLA’s.
4. What are the properties of Cloud Computing?
There are six key properties of cloud computing: Cloud computing is
o user-centric
o task-centric
o powerful
o accessible
o intelligent
o programmable
5. What are the types of Cloud service development?
o Software as a Service
o Platform as a Service
o Web Services
o On-Demand Computing
6. What is meant by scheduler?
Schedulers are types of applications responsible for the management of jobs, such as
allocating resources needed for any specific job, partitioning of jobs to schedule parallel
execution of tasks, data management, event correlation, and service-level management
capabilities.
7. What is meant by resource broker?
Resource broker provides pairing services between the service requester and the
service provider. This pairing enables the selection of best available resources from the
service provider for the execution of a specific task.
8. What is load balancing?

Load balancing is concerned with the integrating the system in order to avoid
processing delays and over-commitment of resources. It involves partitioning of jobs,
identifying the resources and queuing the jobs.

09. Define - Private Cloud.

The private cloud is built within the domain of an intranet owned by a single
organization. Therefore, they are client owned and managed. Their access is limited to the
 KSRCE/QM/7.5.1/CSE

owning clients and their partners. Their deployment was not meant to sell capacity over the
Internet through publicly accessible interfaces. Private clouds give local users a flexible and
agile private infrastructure to run service workloads within their administrative domains.
10. Define - Public Cloud.
A public cloud is built over the Internet, which can be accessed by any user who has paid
for the service. Public clouds are owned by service providers. They are accessed by subscription.
Many companies have built public clouds, namely Google App Engine, Amazon AWS,
Microsoft Azure, IBM Blue Cloud, and Salesforce Force.com. These are commercial providers
that offer a publicly accessible remote interface for creating and managing VM instances within
their proprietary infrastructure.
11. Define - Hybrid Cloud.
A hybrid cloud is built with both public and private clouds; Private clouds can
also support a hybrid cloud model by supplementing local infrastructure with computing
capacity from an external public cloud. For example, the research compute cloud (RC2)
is a private cloud built by IBM.
12. Define anything-as-a-service?
Providing services to the client on the basis on meeting their demands at some pay per
use cost such as data storage as a service, network as a service, communication as a service etc.
It is generally denoted as anything as a service (XaaS).
13. What is mean by SaaS?
The software as a service refers to browser initiated application software over thousands
of paid customer. The SaaS model applies to business process industry application, consumer
relationship management (CRM), Enterprise resource Planning (ERP), Human Resources (HR)
and collaborative application.
14. What is mean by IaaS?
The Infrastructure as a Service model puts together the infrastructure demanded by the
user namely servers, storage, network and the data center fabric. The user can deploy and run on
multiple VM’s running guest OS on specific application.
15. Explain PaaS?
The Platform as a Service model enables the user to deploy user built applications onto a
virtualized cloud platform. It includes middleware, database, development tools and some

An identity is a set of characteristics or traits that make something recognizable or known. In

computer network systems, it is one's digital identity that most concerns us. A digital identity is
those attributes and metadata of an object along with a set of relationships with other objects that
makes an object identifiable.

19. Discuss IDAAS:

The establishment and proof of an identity is a central network function. An identity service
is one that stores the information associated with a digital entity in a form that can be queried and
managed for use in electronic transactions. Identity services have as their core functions: a data
store, a query engine, and a policy engine that maintains data integrity.

UNIT II - CLOUD COMPUTING PLATFORM

1. Define- Multi-tenancy.
Multi-tenancy can be defined as a principle in software architecture, where a single instance
of a vendor’s offering runs on the vendor’s servers, serving multiple client organizations (tenants).
Often these tenants will pay a fee for this.
In practice, multi-tenancy allows a cloud provider to provide a service to organizations
that have users of their own. Of course, in certain cases the tenant could have only 1 user; the
important point is that the cloud provider has taken the tenant concept into account and provided
e.g. access based on the tenant concept, billing based on the tenant

2. What is Virtualization?

Virtualization is a foundational element of cloud computing and helps deliver on the value
of cloud computing," Adams said. "Cloud computing is the delivery of shared computing
resources, software or data — as a service and on-demand through the Internet.

3. Define Cloud services with example.

Any web-based application or service offered via cloud computing is called a cloud
Cloud services can include anything from calendar and contact applications to word
processing and presentations.

infrastructure as a service, software as a Service or Platform as a Service. It is something
referred as CSP.

Cloud Broker: It is a third party individual or business that act as an intermediary between the
purchase of cloud computing service and sellers of that service

6.What is Hypervisor?
A hypervisor or virtual machine monitor (VMM) is a piece of computer software, firmware or
hardware that creates and runs virtual machines. A computer on which a hypervisor is running
one or more virtual machines is defined as a host machine. Each virtual machine is called a guest
machine.

7. What are the types of hypervisor?

There are two types of hypervisors:
 Type 1 (bare-metal)
 KSRCE/QM/7.5.1/CSE

 Type 2 (hosted)
Type 1 hypervisors run directly on the system hardware. They are often referred to as a
"native" or "bare metal" or "embedded" hypervisors in vendor literature.

Type 2 hypervisors run on a host operating system. When the virtualization movement
first began to take off, Type 2 hypervisors were most popular. Administrators could buy
the software and install it on a server they already had.

8. List the Virtualization Characteristics:

1.Access: A client can request access to a cloud service from any location.
2.Application: A cloud has multiple application instances and directs
requests to an instance based on conditions.
3.CPU: Computers can be partitioned into a set of virtual machines with
each machine being assigned a workload. Alternatively, systems can be
virtualized through load-balancing technologies.
4. Storage: Data is stored across storage devices and often replicated for
Redundancy

9. List the five key attributes of cloud computing:

Service-based: A service-based architecture is where clients are abstracted from service
providers through service interfaces.
Scalable and elastic: Services can be altered to affect capacity and performance on demand.
Shared services: Resources are pooled in order to create greater efficiencies.
Metered usage: Services are billed on a usage basis.
Internet delivery: The services provided by cloud computing are based on Internet protocols and
formats.

10. What is load balancing?

. Load balancing is an optimization technique; it can be used to increase utilization and

throughput, lower latency, reduce response time, and avoid system overload.
The following network resources can be load balanced:
1. Network interfaces and services such as DNS, FTP, and HTTP
2. Connections through intelligent switches
3. Processing through computer system assignment
4. Storage resources
5, Access to application instances

11. What is Virtual Machine?

A virtual machine is a computer that is walled off from the physical computer that the
virtual machine is running on. This makes virtual machine technology very useful for running
old versions of operating systems, testing applications in what amounts to a sandbox, or in the
case of cloud computing, creating virtual machine instances that can be assigned a workload.
Virtual machines provide the capability of running multiple machine instances, each with their
own operating system.

12. List the Cloud API set of common interface:

 KSRCE/QM/7.5.1/CSE

File Storage Services: Currently Amazon S3, Windows Azure Blob Storage, Nirvanix,
and Local storage is supported by the Storage API. There are plans to extend this API to
Rackspace Cloud Files and GoGrid Cloud Storage.
Document Storage Services: Amazon SimpleDB and Windows
Azure Table Storage are currently supported. Local document storage is
planned.
Simple Queue Services: Amazon SQS, Windows Azure Queue
Storage, and Local queue services are supported.

13. Discuss Platform as a Service:

The Platform as a Service model provides the tools within an environment needed
to create applications that can run in a Software as a Service model. For this reason, some
overlap between vendors has created Software as a Service products, and those vendors have
broadened their services to make their Web applications more customizable. Salesforce.com, the
largest CRM application service company in the world, is an example, with Force.com being its
PaaS (Platform as a Service) offering.

14. Describe PaaS Characteristics:

Application development: A PaaS platform either provides the means to use programs you
create in a supported language or offers a visual development environment that writes the code
for you.
Collaboration: Many PaaS systems are set up to allow multiple individuals to work on the
same projects.
Data management: Tools are provided for accessing and using data in a data store.
Instrumentation, performance, and testing: Tools are available for measuring your
applications and optimizing their performance.
Storage: Data can be stored in either the PaaS vendor's service or accessed from a third-
party storage service.
Transaction management: Many PaaS systems provide services such as transaction
managers or brokerage service for maintaining transaction integrity.

15.What are the different application types in PaaS?

A PaaS provides the tools needed to construct different types of applications that
can work together in the same environment. These are among the common application types:
