The hype

Some Definitions

definitions

.. Moving computing and data away from the desktop and the portable PC and simply displaying the results of computing that takes place in a centralized location and is then transmitted via the internet on the user's screen ..

- John Makroff

.. a computing paradigm shift where computing is moved away from personal computers or an individual application server to a "cloud" of computers ..

- Wikipedia

.. the idea of relayin on Web-based applications and storing data in the "cloud" of the internet

- MIT Technology Review

.. it starts with the premise that the data services and architecture should be on servers, We call it cloud computing - they should be in a 'cloud' somewhere..

- Eric Schmidt

Some other ..• Common, Location-independent, Online Utility on Demand*

– Common implies multi-tenancy, not single or isolated tenancy – Utility implies pay-for-use pricing– on Demand implies ~infinite, ~immediate, ~invisible scalability

• Alternatively, a “Zero-One-Infinity” definition:** 0 On-premise infrastructure

Acquisition costAdoption costSupport cost

1 Coherent and resilient environment – not a brittle “software stack”

Scalability in response to changing needIntegratability/Interoperability with legacy assets and other servicesCustomizability/Programmability from data, through logic, up into theuser interface without compromising robust multi-tenancy

* Joe Weinman, Vice President of Solutions Sales, AT&T, 3 Nov. 2008** From The Jargon File: “Allow none of foo, one of foo, or any number of foo”

.. the trend towards online services that run in a web browser and store users information in a provider's data center ..

Turn a commodity into a utility

integration^

Necessary, but not

differentiating

Not everything’s a commodity

Web Server Farms. Commodity.

Much Enterprise Software. Commodity

Email. A commodity.

Messaging. Maybe not a commodity.

What if… we just gave IT a platform to create their own data models, interfaces, and processes on a dynamic infrastructure [that met corporate requirements] & simply existed as needed?

Results in elevated IT relevance

Other Results…

Focus on integration will evolve to a more disciplined approach

Match expenses to benefits

Enable new classes of applications

Best Practices

Mediation. A secret weapon.

Service Level Management. Don’t even start with “my piece is working fine!”

Security. It’s not (only) what you think it needs to be.

Build a culture of collaboration.

Understanding Cloud Computing

Origin

• “.. Comes from the early days of the Internet where we drew the network as a cloud… we didn’t care where the messages went… the cloud hid it from us” – Kevin Marks, Google

• First cloud around networking (TCP/IP abstraction)• Second cloud around documents (WWW data

abstraction)• The emerging cloud abstracts infrastructure complexities

of servers, applications, data, and heterogeneous platforms– (“muck” as Amazon’s CEO Jeff Bezos calls it)

3 Cloud Service Models

• Cloud Software as a Service (SaaS)– Use provider’s applications over a network

• Cloud Platform as a Service (PaaS)– Deploy customer-created applications to a cloud

• Cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)– Rent processing, storage, network capacity, and other

fundamental computing resources

• To be considered “cloud” they must be deployed on top of cloud infrastructure that has the key characteristics

4 Cloud Deployment Models

• Private cloud – enterprise owned or leased

• Community cloud– shared infrastructure for specific community

• Public cloud– Sold to the public, mega-scale infrastructure

• Hybrid cloud– composition of two or more clouds

Common Cloud Characteristics

• Cloud computing often leverages:– Massive scale– Virtualization– Non-stop computing– Free software– Geographic distribution– Service oriented software – Autonomic computing– Advanced security technologies

is this GRID Computing?

Clouds aren’t all the same

• Not every cloud is a “grid”– Grids imply dynamic arrival/departure– Electrical analogy has limits: CPU cycles aren’t substitutable

• Most clouds are not “compute clusters”– Clusters are typically monocultures: just one type of node– Applications may require tuning to a particular cluster size

• Some clouds are servers in virtual slices– Virtualized servers can be quickly provisioned– Spin-up of instances = new management task– Hardware gets cheaper, management…not so much

• Enterprise cloud computing implies API leverage

– Immediate focus on function; immediate delivery of value

– Using appropriate frameworks enables a huge head start

Single tenancy gives each customer a dedicated software stack – and each layer in each stack still requires configuration, monitoring, upgrades, security updates, patches, tuning and disaster recovery.

On a multi-tenant platform, all applications run in a single logical environment: faster, more secure, more available, automatically upgraded and maintained. Any improvement appears to all customers at once.
