What is Google cloud?
Google Compute Services
• Google App Engine: Platform as a Service to deploy Java, PHP, and
other applications. It is a Cloud Computing platform for developing and
hosting web applications in Google-managed data centers. It offers the
automatic scaling feature, i.e., as the number of requests for an
application increases, the App Engine automatically allocates more
resources for the application to handle the additional demand.
• Compute Engine: Infrastructure as a Service to run Microsoft Windows
and Linux virtual machines. It is a component of the Google Cloud
platform which is built on the same infrastructure that runs Google’s
search engine, YouTube, and other services.
• Kubernetes Engine: It aims at providing a platform for automating
deployment, scaling, and operations of application containers across
clusters of hosts. It works with a wide range of container tools including
docker.
• For IoT development, Azure is considered the best service in the
market. It is also the fastest-growing cloud platform. It does not
offer you as many benefits provided by AWS, but Azure isn’t far
behind. Compared to AWS, Azure isn’t expensive since it charges
basis on minutes.
• While Google Cloud Platform is way behind in services that are
best suitable for Big Data and Machine Learning, they are quickly
catching up. It is often the second fastest growing platform in the
market.
• GCP offers you data of google chrome for big data for better
development and allows you to use Big Query to develop your
application rapidly. It also gives $300 credit to undertake their
services. It charges based per second and provides maximum
flexibility. So, this is often pocket-friendly and user-friendly as well.
Integration of Private and Public Clouds
• What is a Hybrid Cloud?
• A hybrid cloud is a mixed computing
environment where applications are run using a
combination of computing, storage, and
services in different environments—public
clouds and private clouds, including on-
premises data centers or “edge” locations.
• Hybrid cloud computing approaches are widespread because almost no one
today relies entirely on a single public cloud.
• Hybrid cloud solutions include applications, or their components such as
compute, networking, and storage, when deployed across public and private
clouds. On-premises servers are also often referred to as private clouds.
Hybrid Cloud
• Hybrid Cloud is an integration of both Private and Public Cloud for high
efficiency in performing distinct functions in an organisation. For example,
an environment created mixing On-premise, private cloud and public
cloud (i.e GCP, AWS, Azure). This framework efficiently utilises the
advantages of public resources to upscale their internal resources without
risking an overload in case of unexpected spikes in usage.
• Ease of scalability.
• Cost efficiency much greater than private cloud
• Enables more private functions to run on Private framework and sensitive
functions to run on Public.
• Highly secure and flexible according to organisational needs.
•
Protein structure prediction
• Protein structure prediction is the best example in research area that
makes use of cloud applications for its computation and storage.

• A protein is composed of long chains of amino acids joined together by

peptide bonds. The various structures of protein help in the designing of
new drugs and the various sequences of proteins from its three-
dimensional structure in predictive form is known as a Protein structure
prediction.
•
• Firstly primary structures of proteins are formed and then prediction of the
secondary, tertiary and quaternary structures are done from the primary
one. In this way predictions of protein structures are done. Protein
structure prediction also makes use of various other technologies like
artificial neural networks, artificial intelligence, machine learning and
probabilistic techniques, also holds great importance in fields like
theoretical chemistry and bioinformatics.
Algorithms and tools that exists for protein
structure prediction
• CASP (Critical Assessment of Protein Structure Prediction) is a well-
known tool that provides methods for automated web servers and
the results of research work are placed on clouds like CAMEO
(Continuous Automated Model Evaluation) server.
• These servers can be accessed by anyone as per their requirements
from any place. Some of the tools or servers used in protein structure
prediction are Phobius, FoldX, LOMETS, Prime, Predict protein,
SignalP, BBSP, EVfold, Biskit, HHpred, Phre, ESyired3D.
• Using these tools new structures are predicted and the results are
placed on the cloud-based servers.
