Final Exam Cloud Computing

1. Cloud computing is a type of computing that rely on sharing computing resources instead
of having a personnel server or machine to run the application. The main function of
cloud computing is providing a server or machine that can be access from anywhere and
deploy to other user with configurable resource and flavor.
2. B. Platform as a Service (PaaS)
PaaS is a platform that cloud provider deliver platform, OS, programming languages,
environment, database and web server. Developer can develop and run the software solution
on cloud platform without complexity of buying and managing the hardware and software
layer.
3. Cloud storage is the Storage virtualization is the process of grouping the physical storage
from multiple-network-storage devices so that it looks like a single storage device.

4. C. Hybrid Cloud is a cloud that combine the benefit of public and private cloud solution.
It combines the advantage of scalability, reliability and rapid deploy of public cloud and
the full control and security of private cloud.
5. C. Image (Glance) is one of OpenStack’s components that provide image service for
managing the kernel virtual machine or KVM like kernel image or disk image. It used
SQL like database to store data from text file to object file like OpenStack object and it
has REST API for query and retrieve image from database.

E. Block Storage (Cinder) is a component for managing block storage of virtual machine.
It can create and manage the storage as well as take snapshot and backup in case there are
problem with storage or data got corrupted. It can connect and disconnect to server and
connect it to cloud.

6. B. OS-assisted virtualization (paravirtualization): is a process of achieving virtualization

where the execution of sensitive instructions is removed permanently. It performs via
modified OS kernel as guest OS and replace non-virtualizable instructions with hyper-
calls that communicate directly with virtualization layer hypervisor.
D. OS-level virtualization is server virtualization method. This method virtualizes servers
on OS kernel layer. This creates isolated containers on a single physical server and OS
instance to utilize hardware, software, data center and management efforts with
maximum efficiency
7. Explain what is Virtual Machine Monitors (Hypervisor): It is a thin layer of software that
are exported by Virtual Machine.
Explain what is type 1 hypervisor and type 2 hypervisor:
