Cloud Computing Notes

Unit 1: Introduction to Cloud Computing

- Evolution: From mainframes -> client-server -> virtualization -> cloud

- Characteristics (NIST): On-demand, Broad access, Resource pooling, Rapid elasticity, Measured service

- Types of Cloud: Public, Private, Hybrid, Community

- Cloud Services: IaaS, PaaS, SaaS

- Benefits: Scalability, Cost efficiency, Disaster recovery, Global reach

- Challenges: Security, Downtime, Vendor lock-in

- Applications: Storage (e.g., Dropbox), Hosting, Email, CRM, IoT

- Cloud Storage: Storing data remotely with providers (Google Drive, AWS S3)

- Cloud & Dynamic Infrastructure: Elastic resources to meet real-time demand

- Cloud Adoption: Factors - cost, flexibility, business innovation


Cloud Computing Notes

Unit 2: Cloud Computing Architecture

- IaaS, PaaS, SaaS - Service models

- Deployment Models - Public, Private, Hybrid, Community

- SOA (Service-Oriented Architecture): Helps modular and scalable cloud service development

- Security, Trust, Privacy:

- Security: Data encryption, access control

- Trust: Reputation and transparency

- Privacy: Handling user data responsibly


Cloud Computing Notes

Unit 3: Cloud Virtualization Technology

- Virtualization: Running multiple virtual machines on a single physical machine

- Types: Server, Network, Storage, Desktop

- Implementation Levels: Hardware-level, OS-level, Application-level

- Benefits: Efficient resource usage, Isolation, Cost savings

- Hypervisors:

- Type 1 (bare-metal): VMware ESXi, Hyper-V

- Type 2 (hosted): VirtualBox, VMware Workstation

- Load Balancing: Distributes workload for better performance

- Infrastructure Requirements: Powerful servers, storage, networking, hypervisor software


Cloud Computing Notes

Unit 4: Cloud Programming Models

- Thread Programming: Multiple threads within a process

- Task Programming: Tasks run in parallel, each task independent

- MapReduce:

- Map: Break into key-value pairs

- Reduce: Aggregate results

- Used in Big Data (e.g., Hadoop)

- Parallel Efficiency: Measure how well parallel tasks perform

- Batch Processing: Large-scale jobs (ETL, analytics)

- Comparison:

Thread vs Task vs MapReduce - Level, Use, and Application


Cloud Computing Notes

Unit 5: Cloud Security

- Security Issues: Data loss, unauthorized access

- Risks: Insider threats, insecure APIs

- SaaS Security: Application-level security

- Security Monitoring: Logs, intrusion detection

- Architecture Design: Identity management, encryption

- Data/Application Security: Confidentiality, integrity

- VM Security: Isolation, patch management

- Legal Aspects: Data ownership, compliance (e.g., GDPR)

- Multi-tenancy Issues: Data leakage between tenants


Cloud Computing Notes

Unit 6: Cloud Platforms and Applications

- Platforms:

- Web Services: SOAP, REST APIs - enable cloud communication
