How was cloud computing so far?

How ahead?

What is Virtualization?

Virtualization is the ability to run "virtual machines" on top of a "hypervisor“

The Cloud Computing Adoption Model

Virtualization and Cloud Computing

• Virtualization is the ability to run "virtual machines" on top of a "hypervisor“

• A hypervisor provides a uniform abstraction of the underlying physical machine.

• Abstraction in the key idea in Service Models of Cloud!

Timeline of Virtualization

• 1970s: virtual machines first used

• 1990s: x86 becomes prominent server platform

• 1999: VMWare first product to virtualize x86

• 2006: AMD and Intel offer hardware support

Benefits of Virtualization

• Greatest Cost Savings• Highest Server Utilization• Built-In High Availability• Zero Downtime Failover• Best Performance• Unmatched Reliability• Superior Security• Lowest TCO• Fastest, Easiest Management

What is a Virtual Machine (VM)?

• A virtual machine (VM) is a software implementation of a machine that executes programs like a physical machine.

• Each VM includes its own kernel, operating system, supporting libraries and applications.

What Virtual Machines provide?

– Hardware independence VM sees the same hardware regardless of the host hardware

– Isolation VM’s operating system is isolated from the host operating system

– Encapsulation Entire VM encapsulated into a single file

Virtual Machines Classification

Process virtual machine ● designed to run a single program, which means

that it supports a single process● E.g. Parrot, CLR, LLVM, JVM, Dalvik,..

System virtual machine ● provides a complete system platform which

supports the execution of a complete operating system (OS)

● E.g. VirtualBox, Parallels Workstation, Xen,..

Architecture viewpoint differences

1. Traditional

2. Hosted virtualization

3. Bare-metal virtualization

Makes sense?

VM Implementation

▪ Hosted▪ Runs as a process on an existing host OS▪ Rely on host OS for H/W interaction▪ VMWareGSX, user-mode Linux

▪ Stand-alone/bare metal /native▪ VMM on top of bare hardware▪ All H/W interactions on VMM itself▪ Highly efficient▪ VMWareESX, IBM z/VM, HyperV

VMM / Hypervisor

▪ VMM: Virtual Machine Monitor▪ Small special purpose operating system✓ Interface simulates a CPU✓ Each process acts like a separate computer or VM✓ Can run a full OS in each virtual machine

Types of hypervisors (VMM)

• Type 1 (or native, bare metal) – run directly on the host's hardware to

control the hardware and to manage guest OS.

• Type 2 (or hosted) – run within a conventional operating

system environment.

Type 1 (or native, bare metal) hypervisor

Type 2 (or hosted) hypervisor

How to execute guest instructions on a host?

Interpretation(emulation)

Slow execution speed, but easy implementation

Translation

Dynamic translation (JIT): recompile/translation while running

Static translation (AOT): multiple binary problemComplicated but faster execution, especially with optimizations

Run directly on the hardware

When the host and guest ISA are binary compatible

Now ?

Virtualization Enterprise Perspective

Reduced cost–Improve server utilization–Reduce hardware costs–Reduce power consumption

Agility–Operational scalability–Rapid provisioning

Security–Isolated Systems

Enough! Lets see in Action
