Explain the architecture of Cloud computing in detail.

 Architecture of Cloud computing

  • Cloud computing is utility-oriented and Internet Centric way of delivering IT services on demand.
  • cloud computing architecture includes 

i) infrastructure as a service

i)platform as service

 iii) software as a service





From the figure above, we will discuss

i) infrastructure as a service

ii)platform as service

iii) software as a service 

iv) user-level middleware

v) User application 

vi) core middleware

vii) system infrastructure.


1. IAAS

It provides access to fundamental resources such as physical machines, virtual machines, virtual storage, etc.

Characteristics:

  • virtual machines with pre-install s/w
  • virtual machines with preinstall os 
  • on-demand availability of resources
  • Allow copying of the particular data at different locations.
  • resources can be easily scaled up and down.


2. PAAS: 

  • platform as a service offers the runtime environment for the application. It offers development and deployment tools
  • Required to develop the application.

characteristics:

  • pass offers a browser-based development environment. 
  •  provides built-in security, scalability, and web services.
  • provides built-in fools for defining workflow, approval process, and business values.
  • easy to integrate with other applications some platform 
  • provides a web services interface to connect applications outside the platform.


3. SAAS

Allows providing s/w application as a service to the end users. software is deployed on the host service and is accessible via the internet.

characteristics :

  • software available on the internet
  • Software applications are maintained by vendors
  •  License to s/w may be sup subscription based.
  • It is cost-effective 
  • Available on demand.


4. User applications :

  • It includes cloud applications through which endures get interact
  • there may be a different application like scientific, gaming
  •  eg: Gmail, facebook.com, etc.


5. user-level middleware

  • includes cloud application programming environment and tools
  • different types of programming and tools depend on user application
  • eg web2.0, libraries, scripting, etc.


6. Core middleware 

  • It includes cloud hosting platforms.
  • It manages the quality of services.
  • It executes management.


7. System infrastructure 

  • It includes cloud resources.
  • It store hardware, software.
  • Database, and services are part of it.

Suppose that a data warehouse for Big-University consists of the following four dimensions: student, course, semester, and instructor, and two measures count and avg_grade. When at the lowest conceptual level (e.g., for a given student, course, semester, and instructor combination), the avg_grade measure stores the actual course grade of the student. At higher conceptual levels, avg_grade stores the average grade for the given combination. a) Draw a snowflake schema diagram for the data warehouse. b) Starting with the base cuboid [student, course, semester, instructor], what specific OLAP operations (e.g., roll-up from semester to year) should one perform in order to list the average grade of CS courses for each BigUniversity student. c) If each dimension has five levels (including all), such as “student < major < status < university < all”, how many cuboids will this cube contain (including the base and apex cuboids)?

a) A Snowflake Shema is shown in figure below: b) The specific OLAP operations to be performed: 1. Roll-up on course from course_id to department. 2. Roll-up on a student from student_id to university. 3. Dice on course, student with department ="CS" and university = "biguniversity" 4. Drill-down on a student from the university to student_name. c) N = 4 dimensions The cube will contain 54 = 625 cuboids.

Suppose that a data warehouse consists of the four dimensions; date, spectator, location, and game, and the two measures, count and charge, where charge is the fee that a spectator pays when watching a game on a given date. Spectators may be students, adults, or seniors, with each category having its own charge rate. a) Draw a star schema diagram for the data b) Starting with the base cuboid [date; spectator; location; game], what specific OLAP operations should perform in order to list the total charge paid by student spectators at GM Place in 2004?

  b) The specific OLAP operations to be performed are: 1. Roll-up on date from date id to year. 2. Roll-up on spectator from spectator id to status. 3. Roll-up on location from location id to location name. 4. Roll-up on the game from game id to all. 5. Dice with status= “students”, location name= “GM Place”, and year=2004

What is national data warehouse? What is census data?

National Data warehouse   A large number of national data warehouses can be identified from the existing data resources within the central government ministries. These are potential subject areas in which data warehouses may be developed at present and in the future. Census Data Census data can help planners and others understand their communities' social, economic, and demographic conditions. Census data is the primary data used by planners to understand the social, economic, and demographic conditions locally and nationally. We sometimes think the census is unique to the United States, but census data is collected in other countries.  The total process of collecting, compiling, and publishing demographic, economic, and social data about a specific time to all people in a country or fixed or defined area part of a country. Most countries also include a housing census. A census is a procedure of systematically acquiring and recording information about the members of a given populat
