What is cloud computing?

Cloud computing is a technology that allows users to

access and utilize a wide range of computing services,
including storage, processing, and applications, over the
internet.
These services are provided by cloud service providers
and are typically offered on a pay-as-you-go or
subscription basis.
Types of Clouds/Deployment Models

1. Public Cloud
2. Private cloud
3. Hybrid cloud
Public Cloud

• Public cloud services are available to the general public and

are hosted by third-party cloud providers.

• Example: Microsoft Azure.

Private Cloud

• Private cloud resources are provisioned for a single

organization, offering more control and privacy.

• Example: A large financial institution may deploy a private

cloud to ensure data security and regulatory compliance
while still benefiting from cloud technologies.
Hybrid Cloud

• Description: Hybrid clouds combine public and private cloud

resources. Organizations can move workloads between
environments for flexibility.

• Example: An e-commerce company might use a public cloud

for scalability during peak shopping seasons while
maintaining critical customer data in a private cloud.

are in different geographical areas to achieve one common goal e.g.
solving complex problems, solving high performance computations
How Grid Computing Works
 COMPONENTS OF GRID COMPUTING

• Control node: This is a server or group of servers that manages and coordinates resources within the
entire grid. It serves as the central point of control and communication for the various resources and
nodes within the grid infrastructures
• Provider or grid node: this is a computer that shares the resources with the user node when
requested. these computers can be physical computers, virtual machines. Each grid node is capable of
executing tasks independently or in collaboration with other nodes within the grid network.
• User node: refers to the computer that uses resources from the network to complete a task. The user
node serves as an interface through which an individual user interacts with the grid infrastructure
accessing its resources and submitting computational tasks for execution. The interfaces may include
graphical user interfaces(GUI), Application Programming Interfaces(API) that enable users to manage
data transfers and monitor resource usage within the grid.
 KEY COMPONENTS OF GRID COMPUTING

User interface: They provide a single interface that allows users to view a wide variety of
information. Similarly, a grid portal offers an interface that enables users to launch applications
with resources provided by the grid.
Security: Grid computing relies heavily on robust security mechanisms to protect sensitive data
and resources. This includes authentication, authorization, encryption, and other security
measures to prevent unauthorized access and data breaches.
Scheduler: Job schedulers are responsible for allocating and managing computational tasks across
available resources. They ensure efficient utilization of resources while meeting user-defined
priorities and constraints
Data management: Data management services facilitate the efficient transfer, storage, and
replication of data within the grid. These services are essential for applications that rely on large
datasets or need to share data across distributed resources
