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.

Cloud Cube model   The Cloud Cube model helps classify a four-dimensional factor cloud network. Its concentration is on protecting and safeguarding the cloud network. This cloud cube model lets you securely pick cloud formation. This model serves to provide a safe and secured Internet network for IT administrators enterprises, and business leaders. Jericho cloud cube model  Jericho Forum is an international independent group of information security leaders & their focus is on how to protect and secure cloud networks. They put forward a model that helps to categorize a cloud network based on four-dimensional factors. The Jericho Cloud Cube Model describes the multidimensional elements of cloud computing, framing not only cloud use cases, but also how they are deployed and used. The Cloud Cube Model, established and developed by the Jericho Forum, assists in categorizing cloud networks based on four dimensions: Internal/External Proprietary/Open Perimeterised/De-perimet...

 CLOUD COMPUTING REFERENCE MODEL The cloud computing reference model is a general high-level architecture and is meant for a cloud computing reference architecture provided, which outlines the primary performer/actor and the understanding of the cloud computing needs, uses, features, and standards. An overview of the NIST primary players, as indicated in the figure below. Each performer is an entity that might be a person or a cloud computing activity and role. The NIST cloud computing reference architecture identifies five organization that takes part in a transaction or process and complete duties in cloud computing. 1. Cloud consumer:  The cloud consumer is the cloud computing service's most significant stakeholder. A cloud consumer is a person or organization who has a commercial connection with a cloud provider and consumes its services. A cloud consumer browses a cloud provider's service catalog, requests the right service, establishes service contracts with the cloud pr...

Discuss classification or taxonomy of virtualization at different levels.

Taxonomy of virtualization Virtualization is mainly used to emulate the execution environment, storage, and networks. The execution environment is classified into two: – Process-level – implemented on top of an existing operating system.  – System-level – implemented directly on hardware and does not or minimum requirement of the existing operating system. OR,  Virtualization covers a wide range of emulation techniques that are applied to different areas of computing. A classification of these techniques helps us better understand their characteristics and use  V irtualization is mainly used to emulate  ● Execution Environments: To provide support for the execution of the programs eg. OS, and Application.  ○ Process Level: Implemented on top of an existing OS that has full control of the hardware  ○ System Level: Implemented directly on Hardware and do not require support from existing OS.  ● Storage: Storage vi...
