DESCRIPTION
Here are the slides for my Autumn 2013 guest lectures on Cloud Computing for the Computer Science department at Loughborough University. I cover infrastructure, platform and software as a service - with some illustrative examples - and talk about opportunities for Computer Scientists to get involved in Cloud Computing.

1. What is Cloud Computing?
- Utility computing- Ready made appliances and
services, just “plug in” and go- Started out as spare cycles
and platform APIs from Amazon- Now open competition from
Google, Microsoft, and others- IT spend as opex, not capex
- Pay as you go
-Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)- Bring Your Own OS, software, etc- Public, private, hybrid clouds
-Platform as a Service (PaaS)- APIs and standards to code against, e.g. storage,
database, IP load balancer
-Software as a Service (SaaS)- Typically admin dashboard, application level APIs
and user facing Web services

Opportunities:- Capacity planning needed to assess
resource for move into the cloud- Server virtualization expertise - Data centre design and build- Sysadmins to run operating systems,
install and maintain software etc- Hot topic: Live migration of workloads

data models- Developing and
extending existingopen source code,e.g. Hadoop
- Writing applications against these APIs, e.g. Google App Engine, Amazon Web Services
- Selling cloud applications, e.g. Google Apps Marketplace
$options = array( 'requestScheme' => Zend_Oauth::REQUEST_SCHEME_HEADER, 'version' => '1.0', 'signatureMethod' => 'HMAC-SHA1', 'consumerKey' => $CONSUMER_KEY, 'consumerSecret' => $CONSUMER_SECRET);
$config = new Zend_Oauth_Consumer($options);$token = new Zend_Oauth_Token_Access();$httpClient = $token->getHttpClient($options);$client = new Zend_Gdata_Docs($httpClient);
$feed = $client->getDocumentListFeed('https://docs.google.com/feeds/documents/private/full?xoauth_requestor_id=' . urlencode($email_address));foreach ($feed->entries as $entry) { $title = $entry->title; # etc}

Opportunities:- Migration assistance- Systems integration, e.g. use APIs to
import/export data- Day-to-day administration- Use APIs to extend existing services, e.g.
Gmail contextual gadgets- Develop new SaaS offerings
- It's just a website, really :-)

4. Dark Clouds and Silver Linings
2. Why use it?
- Provision service rapidly- Flexibility over scaling- Reduce headcount, power
bill, cooling requirements- Convert capital expenditure
into operating expenditure- Concentrate on stuff that
genuinely adds value
