Cloud computing Lec#5

Cloud Computing Technologies


• A list of cloud computing technologies are
given below:
• Virtualization
• Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)
• Grid Computing
• Utility Computing
Virtualization in Cloud Computing

• Virtualization is the creation of a virtual (rather than


actual) Virtualization is the process of creating a virtual
environment to run multiple applications and
operating systems on the same server. The virtual
environment can be anything, such as a single instance
or a combination of many operating systems, storage
devices, network application servers, and other
environments.
• In other words, Virtualization is a technique, which
allows to share a single physical instance of a resource
or an application among multiple customers and
organizations.
What is the concept behind the
Virtualization?

• The concept of Virtualization in cloud computing


increases the use of virtual machines. A virtual
machine is a software computer or software
program that not only works as a physical computer
but can also function as a physical machine and
perform tasks such as running applications or
programs as per the user's demand.
• The machine on which the virtual machine is going
to create is known as Host Machine and that virtual
machine is referred as a Guest Machine.
Types of Virtualization

• Hardware Virtualization.
• Operating system Virtualization.
• Server Virtualization.
• Storage Virtualization.
1) Hardware Virtualization:

• When the virtual machine software or virtual machine


manager (VMM) is directly installed on the hardware
system is known as hardware virtualization.
• The main job of hypervisor is to control and monitoring
the processor, memory and other hardware resources.
• After virtualization of hardware system we can install
different operating system on it and run different
applications on those OS.
• Usage
• Hardware virtualization is mainly done for the server
platforms, because controlling virtual machines is
much easier than controlling a physical server.
2) Operating System Virtualization:

• When the virtual machine software or virtual


machine manager (VMM) is installed on the
Host operating system instead of directly on
the hardware system is known as operating
system virtualization.
• Usage:
• Operating System Virtualization is mainly used
for testing the applications on different
platforms of OS.
3) Server Virtualization:

• When the virtual machine software or virtual


machine manager (VMM) is directly installed
on the Server system is known as server
virtualization.
• Usage:
• Server virtualization is done because a single
physical server can be divided into multiple
servers on the demand basis and for balancing
the load.
4) Storage Virtualization:
• Storage virtualization is the process of
grouping the physical storage from multiple
network storage devices so that it looks like a
single storage device.
• Storage virtualization is also implemented by
using software applications.
• Usage:
• Storage virtualization is mainly done for back-
up and recovery purposes.
