So you are thinking about the cloud?
What is it exactly?
What can we do with it?
How does it work?
Are we ready for it?

Think about it.
What clouds have you used?
Have you ever created a document online?
Have you ever checked your email online?
Have you ever sold anything online?
Have you ever banked online?
Have you ever backed up your files online?
Have you ever shared files online?

What is cloud computing?
Cloud computing gets its name as a metaphor for the Internet, as it is

represented in network diagrams as a cloud.

NIST definition
“Cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient,

on demand network access to a shared pool of configurable
computing resources that can be rapidly provisioned and released
with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.
(NIST definition)”

A service driven model
Cloud computing is highly scalable and can help to rapidly develop, deploy, and deliver
services in a simplified way.
Hardware and platform-level resources are provided as services on an on-demand basis.

computing resources
It helps optimize availability by

maintaining configurations and It is used to capture and rerun

Deprovisioning is the automated process of restoring computing

resources to their respective resource pools

Provisioning Trade-offs

separately version control is
easier and independent of
each other.
Trade-offs
When middleware is baked

with OS image, changes are
required to the service
catalog every time a version
has to be changed.

Pattern-based Provisioning
Pattern-based provisioning prepares and supplies cloud computing

patterns within an IT environment and delivers them as a cloud
service. Cloud-computing patterns are logical descriptions of the
physical and virtual assets that comprise a cloud-computing solution.
They can be used to model multitiered application environments
(such as an SAP environment) and complex middleware environments
(such as a cluster environment for developing Java Platform Enterprise
Edition (Java EE) applications).

Standardization
• Consolidating and standardizing the

business processes in use in the
environment reduce the number of
manual actions
• A small set of standardized software

builds ensures:
• consistency across the cloud environment
• encapsulate the best practices for
deployment
• reduce the time and effort required to
maintain the software builds.
• It helps maximize repeatability,

compatibility, and interoperability.

Which cloud computing term does the following definition refer

to: IaaS, PaaS, or SaaS?
This layer is the foundation of the cloud. It consists of managing

more efficiently the physical assets (servers, network devices,
storage disks, and so on).
The answer is IaaS.

Gmail?
The answer is SaaS.

Software as a Service (SaaS) applications are often updated more

frequently than traditional software. Where are the applications
hosted?
A. On the local computer and are updated using automatic
updates
B. On the local computer so new releases can be downloaded
when available from the application provider
 C. Centerally hosted so new releases can be put in place
without requiring customers to physically install new
software

Charge-back
All offerings that cloud can provide in a standard way but customizable through parameters. End-user
will be offered commands to consume the service catalog entries.
• Service creation
• Service modification
• Service termination
Entries in the service catalog do need to be reflected in a service template that specifies:
• Service topology on offer
• Process of creating the service instance
• Pertaining management functionalities
The service will be implemented by technical artifacts, such as a virtual image with contained operating
system, middleware, and software in the case of IaaS: That will need to be designed, assembled, and
maintained.
Back-office of IaaS cloud contents management is often referred to as image management.

• Email integration to disseminate information and to dos about services being

• Capacity planning and reservation
• Change management through the declaration in the operations tools of the
configuration of the deployed service

Provisioning
Service
catalog

Charge-back
Provisioning is one of the key technologies that accelerated the emergence of cloud computing as
allowing IT industrialization.
Automation of pre-defined scenarios to assure their repetitive, efficient, and reliable execution:
• Execution steps described in provisioning workflows
• Provisioning runtime monitoring workflow execution to proper completion or stable recovery stage
Goal is to keep workflow tasks as generic and platform independent as possible, relying on specific
managed-through mechanisms.
• To implement workflow steps on specific platforms
• To leverage existing tooling and skills
• To integrate provisioning with future service production
• To limit the number of workflows to be developed and maintained
Provisioning used in cloud computing as well as runtime automation in data centers

Optimized infrastructure
Service
catalog

Charge-back
As cloud computing is a way of managing large numbers of highly virtualized

resources and control the delivery of services on these to meet the user consuming
model requirements while allowing elastic scaling and cost reduction.
An optimized infrastructure for cloud has to be:

• Scalable
• Available
Therefore it has to be:

• Virtualized
• Managed
So all the infrastructure components: servers, storage, and networks can be automatically
defined and deployed
Charge-back
Service
catalog

Charge-back
Pay-per-use is one of the characteristics of cloud computing. Charge-back is the component

which supports pay-per-use functionalities.
• Based on metrics provided by the optimized infrastructure, charge-back will establish a cost
for delivered services.
• The user is charged for what he really uses.
– CPU, memory, storage
– But also metrics which could be linked to a specific workload
– And any other metrics which can be specific to a customer environment
• The charge-back model has to be agreed between cloud provider and cloud consumer.

Utility computing relates to the business model

IaaS and Utility Computing in which application infrastructure resources,
hardware and/or software are delivered.
• Private IaaS are deployed, operated and

Private IaaS vs public IaaS consumed within the boundaries of the
internal data center
• Public IaaS clouds allows to deliver the same
set of infrastructural services, but outside of
the enterprise boundaries to other
companies, to managed accounts, or even to

• In order to provide cloud computing services, cloud providers have to:
• Reduce cost with the consolidation of their IT infrastructure
• Virtualize and optimize the infrastructure
• Put in place a strong automation and provisioning solution
• Enhance efficiency with a highly available solution and rapid network access
• Manage data within compliance to regulations and security/resiliency
