    Cloud Computing question bank

    1) What is cloud computing.


     Cloud computing refers to both the applications delivered as services over the
    Internet and the hardware, system software in the datacenters that provide those
    services.

    2) Benefits or advantages
     No up-front commitments
     On-demand access
     Nice pricing
     Energy efficiency

    3) Parallel Computing?
     Computation is divided among several processors
     Sharing the same memory
     Homogeneity of components

    4) Distributed computing?
     Collection of independent computers that appears to its users as a single coherent
    system
     Computation broken down into units and executed concurrently
     Wider range of systems and applications
     Heterogeneous

    5) Note on virtulization.
     Virtualization is the process of constructing an abstraction layer on top of computer
    hardware using software.
     Increased computing capacity: server can host tens of VMs
     Advantages: Increased security – translation, hide things on host from guest(s),
    limited access
     Levels of virtualization
    • Hardware level
    • Operating system level
    • Programming language level
    • Application level  Storage
    • Network
    • Desktop
    • Application server

    6) Note on abstarction
     Connecting multiple systems together leveraging their interfaces, not worrying
    about internal details
     Uber / Ola as an example for transportation service
     OSI – 7 layers of networking
     Internet is an abstraction layer to cloud computing
    7) Hypervisior?
     A hypervisor is a form of virtualization software used in Cloud hosting to divide and
    allocate the resources on various pieces of hardware.
     Hypervisor
     Type I : on bare hardware, like OS, interact directly with ISA, native
     Type II : require support of OS, interact with ABI, hosted

    8) IAAS
     Infrastructure as a service
     Most popular and developed market segment of cloud computing
     from single servers to entire infra- structures, including network devices, load
    balancers, and database
     Main technology used: hardware virtualization

    9) Explain full & para virtualization.


    Full virzulation
     Hardware replicated, guest not modified and not aware of abstraction layer in
    between
     binary translation for sensitive instructions
    Para virtualization
     Research by Cambridge University, UK
     Open source community
     Citix offers commercial offering of XenSource

    10) Cloud Computing Architecture


     Distributed infrastructure
     Data center(s), cluster(s), composed of desktops, workstations, servers
     Infrastructure can be owned by provider or rented from third party
     Typically virtualized for workload isolation and cost optimization
     Different layers stacked on each other

    11) SaaS
     Complete applications as a service
     No hardware, software cost, pay as you go subscriptions
     One-to-many, hosted
     Multitenant
     Salesforce (CRM), Facebook (social networking), linkedin,Google Documents

    12) Types:
    Public cloud:
     First expression of cloud computing
     Anyone, anywhere, any time via Internet
     Useful to start small enterprises without incurring any
     Replace or extend
     Multitenancy
     AWS EC2: IaaS, Google AppEngine: PaaS

    Private cloud:
     Control, privacy, government, military agencies
     Depending on where data resides
     Migration of existing infra
     Customer information protection
     Openstack, VMWare vCloud

    Hybrid Cloud
     Keep processing of information within premises
     Scale depending on needs and sustain peak load
     Dynamic provisioning to meet demand – cloudbursting
     Mostly applies to hardware
     OpenNebula: cost based advanced Haizea scheduler uses QoS and budget

    13) Amazon Web Services (AWS)


     SOAP or RESTful web service interface, web based console
     Raw compute: EC2, raw storage: s3
     instance configured with memory, processors and storage, remote access
     Amazon Machine Image (AMI) templates to create a VM
     Services:

    14) Cloud Applications


     Migrate to the cloud
     Bootstrap (SDK, APIs, programming environments) for the cloud
     Develop for the cloud
     Abstraction based at programming language, environment (e.g. browser)

    15) Advanced Compute Services


     CloudFormation: templates, describe resources and services and relations between
    them required to run an application
     Elastic Beanstalk: package and deploy applications, provision instances, Web
    applications with Java / Tomcat, WAR file, flexible, higher level
     Elastic MapReduce: Hadoop, EC2, S3, Support Pig, Hive etc
     selects appropriate configurations of EC2 instances
     basic web applications to quickly run data-intensive applications without writing
    code
