The Cloud

• Today: No announcement in IT without the cloud

The market

and manymore!!


Individual Cloud experience?!


Individual Cloud experience?!

• Cloud examples are

� Google mail accounts

� Do you use it for your mails?

� Amazon Simple Storage

Service (S3)

� Did you know that you

downloaded Eclipse Galileo

from S3?

� Salesforce.com (CRM)

� Amazon Elastic Cloud

Computing (EC2)

� Google AppEngine


What makes the hype?

• “organizations are switching fromcompany-owned hardware and softwareassets to per-use service-based models“(Gartner 2008)�

• transform CAPEX to OPEX

• “people's applications and information aregoing to be accessible to them fromanywhere because it will all be up there in the Cloud.”(Eric Schmidt/Google)�

Cloud Definition

• Many definition exists!!

• NIST definition

“Cloud computing is a model for enabling available, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.”

(National Institute of Standards and Technology).

• Essential characteristics� On-demand self service

� Ubiquitous network access

� Location independent resource pooling

� Rapid elasticity

� Measured services

• Delivery Models� IaaS

� PaaS

� SaaS

• Deployment models� Private

� Community

� Public

� Hybrid

Amazon Web Services – in a

nutshell!?!

• Simple Storage Service (S3)

– Simple file system accessible via the internet

• Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)

– Virtual computer accessible via SSH

– Linux or Windows

– Equinox can run on these resources!

Google AppEngine – in a nutshell!?!

• Storage– GoogleDocs

– Big Table / Datastore

• Google AppEngine– Run applications in a JVM with limited capabilities

• Cannot create new threads

• Read-only access to filesystem

• Only a subset of the classes from the JRE standard edition

– Equinox can NOT run currently!

• Can this be changed?


The Open Cloud

Goals

• Choice

• Flexibility

• Speed and agility

• Skills

http://www.opencloudmanifesto.org/


Cloud challenges

• What is common in all cloud systems?

• How can the Open Source community overcome theproprietary cloud systems?

• Can Eclipse contribute technology today?

• Eclipse Technology Project

• Intuitive and easy access for � Grid users,

� Grid resource providers

� Grid application developers

• Extensible framework including a Grid model for seamless integration of Grid/Cloud resources

• supports different Cloud/Grid middleware

� gLite, GRIA (middleware from EC projects)

� Amazon Web Service (AWS)

• Outcome of an European research project


Cloud Demo – Infrastructure as a Service

• Prerequisites:

� AWS Account

� Access Key and Secret Key

� registered for EC2 and S3

� A valid security group (preconfigured firewall)

• Use g-Eclipse to access AWS resources

� Create a Grid Project

� Access to S3 data

� EFS Implementation for S3 protocol

� Start EC2 instances


Equinox, p2 – the Eclipse “platform”

Equinox

• is the core of Eclipse

• is an implementation of the OSGi R4 core specifications

• is a set of bundles that implement various OSGi services

• used on server side already

� Dynamic management of applications

p2

• Provisioning of components

• Compose complex applications

Summary

• A full XaaS story on the cloud was demonstrated� by combining results from different Eclipse projects

• The Grid model of the g-Eclipse project� is middleware/infrastructure independent

� enables interoperability

• Equinox and its related projects can support Cloud applications• p2, RAP, ECF

• Equinox can become the Cloud Operating System

• Eclipse offers an Open Source Eco System for Cloud computing today!

� Eclipse community is ready for the Cloud
