Part B
1. Define cloud computing
Cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network
access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers,
storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with
minimal management effort or service provider interaction
2. Identify the Threats And Challenges in cloud computing
Security & Privacy
Interoperability & Portability
Reliable and flexible
Cost
Downtime
Lack of resources
Dealing with Multi-Cloud Environments
Cloud Migration
Vendor Lock-In
Privacy and Legal issues

3. What is virtualization?
Virtualization is a process that makes the use of physical computer hardware more
effective and forms the basis for cloud computing.
Virtualization uses software to create a layer of abstraction over computer hardware,
enabling multiple virtual computers, usually referred to as VMs, to split the hardware
elements from a single computer — processors, memory, storage and more
4. What is Web 2.0?
Web 2.0 is the term used to represent a range of websites and applications that permit
anyone to create or share information or material created online. One key feature of the
technology is the ability to people to create, share and communicate.
Web 2.0 is different from other kinds of sites because it does not require the
participation of any Web design or publishing skills and makes the creation, publication
or communication of work in the world easy for people.
5. Distinguish between Service-oriented Computing and Utility-oriented
Computing .
Service-oriented Computing Utility-oriented Computing
 The computing paradigm that  The concept Utility Computing
uses services as a fundamental pertains to utilities and business
component in the creation of models that provide its
applications / solutions is service customers with a service
oriented computing (SOC). provider, and charges you for
 Services are computer platform consumption. The computing
specific self-description power, storage or applications
components that enable the easy are examples of such IT services
and cost-effective composition  Example: electricity, telephone,
of distributed applications water and gas
6. Differentiate between parallel and distributed computing.
Parallel Computing
 A problem is divided into
discrete pieces which can be
solved simultaneously
 A number of instructions for each
part are broken down further
 Instructions on various
processors from each part run
simultaneously
 An overall mechanism for
control/coordination is used.
Distributed Computing
 Distributed computing is limited
to programs in a geographically-
limited area with components
shared among computers.
Broader definitions both include
common tasks and program
components. Distributed
computing in the broadest sense
means that something is shared
between many systems, which
can also happen in different
locations.
 Examples Intranets, Internet,
WWW, email. Telephone
networks and Cellular networks

7. Write about the approaches for Parallel Programming

 Various methods are available for parallel programming. The most significant of
these are:
• Data parallelism
• Process parallelism
• Farmer-and-worker mode

8. State the various Levels Of Parallelism

Bit-Level Parallelism
Instruction-level parallelism (ILP)
Instruction Pipelining .
Task Parallelism
Out-of-order execution

9. What is the role of Web service in cloud computing.

Web Service is a structured method for distributing client-server communication on
the World Wide Web. A web service is a software module that performs a variety of
tasks.
We can search for the web services across the network and invoke them appropriately.
The web service will, when invoked, provide the customer with the features that the
web service invokes

10. What are the Types of Web Service

Two kinds of web services are mainly available.
SOAP web services.
RESTful web services.
