Cloud Computing
The term cloud refers to a network or the internet. It is a technology that uses
remote
servers on the internet to store, manage, and access data online rather than
local drives.
The data can be anything such as files, images, documents, audio, video, and
more.
There are the following operations that we can do using cloud computing:

Developing new applications and services


Storage, back up, and recovery of data
Hosting blogs and websites
Delivery of software on demand
Analysis of data
Streaming videos and audios

Why Cloud Computing?


Small as well as large IT companies, follow the traditional methods to provide
the IT
infrastructure. That means for any IT company, we need a Server Room that
is the
basic needs of IT companies.
In that server room, there should be a database server, mail server,
networking, firewalls,
routers, modem, switches, QPS (Query Per Second means how much queries
or load will
be handled by the server), configurable system, high net speed, and the
maintenance
engineers.
To establish such IT infrastructure, we need to spend lots of money. To
overcome all these
problems and to reduce the IT infrastructure cost, Cloud Computing comes
into existence.

Types of Cloud
There are the following 4 types of cloud that you can deploy according to the
Organisation
Public Cloud
Public cloud is open to all to store and access information via the Internet
using the pay-per-usage method.In public cloud, computing resources are
managed and operated by the Cloud ServiceProvider (CSP).
Example: Amazon elastic compute cloud (EC2), IBM SmartCloud Enterprise,
Microsoft,Google App Engine, Windows Azure Services Platform.

Private Cloud
Private cloud is also known as an internal cloud or corporate cloud. It is used
by organisations to build and manage their own data centres internally or by
third party. It can be deployed using Open Source tools such as Openstack
and Eucalyptus.Based on the location and management, National Institute of
Standards and Technology
(NIST) divide private cloud into the following two parts-
On-premise private cloud
Outsourced private cloud

Hybrid Cloud
Hybrid Cloud is a combination of the public cloud and the private cloud. We
can say:Hybrid Cloud = Public Cloud + Private Cloud Hybrid cloud is partially
secure because the services which are running on the public cloud can be
accessed by anyone, while the services which are running on a private cloud
can be accessed only by the organisation users.
Example: Google Application Suite (Gmail, Google Apps, and Google Drive),
Office 365 (MS Office on the Web and OneDrive), Amazon Web Services.

Community Cloud
Community cloud allows systems and services to be accessible by a group of
several organizations to share the information between the organization and a
specific community.It is owned, managed, and operated by one or more
organizations in the community, a third party, or a combination of them.
Example: Health Care community cloud

What is Google Drive?


Google Drive is a cloud-based storage service that enables users to store
and access files online. The service syncs stored documents, photos and
more across all the user's devices, including mobile devices, tablets and
PCs.

Google Drive integrates with the company's other services and systems --
including Google Docs, Gmail, Android, Chrome, YouTube, Google
Analytics and Google+. Google Drive competes with Microsoft OneDrive,
Apple iCloud, Box, Dropbox and SugarSync.

Features of google drive:


Sharing

Google Drive incorporates a system of file sharing in which the creator of a file
or folder is, by default, its owner. The owner can regulate the public visibility of
the file or folder. Ownership is transferable. Files or folders can be shared
privately with particular users having a Google account, using the email
address (usually, but not necessarily, ending in @gmail.com) associated with
that account. Sharing files with users not having a Google account requires
making them accessible to "anybody with the link". This generates a secret
URL for the file, which may be shared via email or private messages. Files
and folders can also be made "public on the web", which means that they can
be indexed by search engines and thus can be found and accessed by
anyone. The owner may also set an access level for regulating permissions.
The three access levels offered are "can edit", "can comment" and "can view".
Users with editing access can invite others to edit.
On September 13, 2021, the URL to a portion of existing files was changed,
ostensibly for security reasons.
Shared files have upload limit of 400,000 items.
Third-party apps
A number of external web applications that work with Google Drive are
available from the Chrome Web Store. To add an app, users are required to
sign in to the Chrome Web Store, but the apps are compatible with all
supported web browsers. Some of these apps are first-party, such as Google
Docs, Sheets, and Slides. Drive apps operate on online files and can be used
to view, edit, and create files in various formats, edit images and videos, fax
and sign documents, manage projects, create flowcharts, etc. Drive apps can
also be made the default for handling file formats supported by them. Some of
these apps also work offline on Google Chrome and ChromeOS.

All of the third-party apps are free to install. However, some have fees
associated with continued usage or access to additional features. Saving data
from a third-party app to Google Drive requires authorization the first time.
The Google Drive software development kit (SDK) works together with the
Google Drive user interface and the Chrome Web Store to create an
ecosystem of apps that can be installed into Google Drive. In February 2013,
the "Create" menu in Google Drive was revamped to include third-party apps,
thus effectively granting them the same status as Google's own apps
In March 2013, Google released an API for Google Drive that enables third-
party developers to build collaborative apps that support real-time editing.
File viewing

The Google Drive viewer on the web allows the following file formats to be
viewed:
● Native formats (Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, Drawings, My Maps,
Jamboard, Sites)
● Image files (.JPEG, .PNG, .GIF, .TIFF, .BMP, .WEBP .HEIF .SVG)

Files in other formats can also be handled through third-party apps that work
with Google Drive, available from the Chrome Web Store

File limits
Files that are uploaded, but not converted to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides
formats, may be up to 5 TB in size. There are also limits, specific to file type,
listed below:
Documents (Google Docs)

Up to 1.02 million characters, regardless of the number of pages or font


size. Document files converted to .gdoc Docs format cannot be larger than
50 MB (1 MB = 1 million bytes). Images inserted cannot be larger than 50
MB, and must be in either .jpg, .png, or non-animated .gif formats.
Spreadsheets (Google Sheets)
Up to 10 million cells, or 18,278 columns.
Presentations (Google Slides)
Presentation files converted to .gslides Slides format cannot be larger than
100 MB. Images inserted cannot be larger than 50 MB, and must be in
either .jpg, .png, or non-animated .gif formats.

Overall file limit[

On April 3, 2023, it was reported that Google had also quietly introduced a
[52]
user "creation limit" of 5 million files around February 2023. This was later
[63]
removed one day after it was publicly discovered following user backlash.
Quick Access

Introduced in the Android app in September 2016, Quick Access uses


machine learning to "intelligently predict the files you need before you've even
typed anything". The feature was announced to be expanded to iOS and the
web in March 2017, though the website interface received the feature in May.
Search

Search results can be narrowed by file type, ownership, visibility, and the
open-with app. Users can search for images by describing or naming what is
in them. For example, a search for "mountain" returns all the photos of
mountains, as well as any text documents about mountains
Backups
In December 2016, Google updated the Android app and website with a
"Backups" section, listing the Android device and app backups saved to Drive.
The section lets users see what backups are stored, the backups' sizes and
details, and delete backups
In June 2017, Google announced that a new app, "Backup and Sync", would
be able to synchronize any folder on the user's computer to GoogleThe app
was released on July 12, 2017
Metadata
A Description field is available for both files and folders that users can use to
add relevant metadata. Content within the Description field is also indexed by
Google Drive and searchable.
Accessibility to the visually impaired

In June 2014, Google announced a number of updates to Google Drive, which


included making the service more accessible to visually impaired users. This
included improved keyboard accessibility, support for zooming and high
contrast mode, and better compatibility with screen readers

Save to Google Drive browser extension


Google offers an extension for Google Chrome, Save to Google Drive, that
allows users to save web content to Google Drive through a browser action or
through the context menu. While documents and images can be saved
directly, webpages can be saved in the form of a screenshot (as an image of
the visible part of the page or the entire page), or as a raw HTML, MHTML, or
Google Docs file.

Mobile apps

The main Google Drive mobile app supported editing of documents and
spreadsheets until April 2014, when the capability was moved to separate,
standalone apps for Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Google SlidesThe
Google Drive app on Android allows users to take a photo of a document,
sign, or other text and use optical character recognition to convert to text that
can be edited. In October 2014, the Android app was updated with a Material
Design user interface, improved search, the ability to add a custom message
while sharing a file, and a new PDF viewer.
Encryption
Before 2013, Google did not encrypt data stored on its servers. Following
information that the United States' National Security Agency had "direct
access" to servers owned by multiple technology companies, including Google
the company began testing encrypting data in July and enabled encryption for
data in transit between its data centers in November.Since 2021, Google
Drive has been providing a client-side encryption feature.

Files you can store in Google Drive

The Architecture of Google Drive


Google Drive is a cloud file storage and synchronisation service provided by
Google. It is a great example to understand the design rules of the Internet,
the open, standards-based, device-independent architecture for the Web.Its
service is made up of four components: online interface, sync applications,
mobile apps, and storage plan. Users can store files on their servers,
synchronise files across their devices, and share files with other users. All
these actions can be done by operating its interface. Users can set up folders
and fold up the uploaded files based on their needs.
one of the main features of Google Drive, which connects unlimited users
through its servers. Files sharing can be easily accomplished via public folders
or shared links. Also, simultaneous editing is another form of “sharing”. Rather
than isolated, users are closely connected although they upload and edit the
files on their own devices in different locations. This shows that Google Drive
builds up a distributed network system across unlimited client/server
implementations. (Irvine) In addition to the website interface, it also offers apps
available for Windows and macOS computers, and Android and IOS mobile
phones and tablets. It means that it provides a model of interoperability for any
software or hardware manufacturer.

Launch an EC2 Instance using Amazon AWS

Establish an AWS account. Use the AWS Management Console to launch an


EC2 instance and connect to it.

The instance is an Amazon EBS-backed instance (meaning that the root


volume is an EBS volume). You can either specify the Availability Zone in
which your instance runs, or let Amazon EC2 select an Availability Zone for
you. When you launch your instance, you secure it by specifying a key pair
and security group. When you connect to your instance, you must specify the
private key of the key pair that you specified when launching your instance.

To complete this, perform the following tasks:


1. Launch an Instance
2. Connect to Your Instance
3. Clean Up Your Instance
If you'd prefer to launch a Windows instance.
Windows Instances: Getting Started with Amazon EC2
Windows Instances.
If you'd prefer to use the command line
Command Line Interface User Guide: Using Amazon EC2 through the AWS
CLI
Prerequisites Before you begin, be sure that you've completed the steps in
Setting Up with Amazon EC2.
Step 1: Launch an Instance You can launch a Linux instance using the AWS
Management Console as described in the following procedure.
To launch an instance
1. Open the Amazon EC2 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/.
2. From the console dashboard, choose Launch Instance.
3. The Choose an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) page displays a list of basic
configurations, called Amazon Machine Images (AMIs), that serve as
templates for your instance. Select an HVM version of Amazon Linux
4.Notice that these AMIs are marked "Free tier eligible."
5. On the Choose an Instance Type page, you can select the hardware
configuration of your instance. Select the t2.micro type, which is selected by
default. Notice that this instance type is eligible for the free tier.
6. Choose Review and Launch to let the wizard complete the other
configuration settings for you.
7. On the Review Instance Launch page, under Security Groups, you'll see
that the wizard created and selected a security group for you. You can use
this security group, or alternatively you can select the security group that you
created when getting set up using the following steps:
a. Choose Edit security groups. 69
b. On the Configure Security Group page, ensure that Select an existing
security group is selected. c. Select your security group from the list of existing
security groups, and then choose Review and Launch.
8. On the Review Instance Launch page, choose Launch.
9. When prompted for a key pair, select Choose an existing key pair, then
select the key pair that you created when getting set up. Alternatively, you can
create a new key pair. Select Create a new key pair, enter a name for the key
pair, and then choose Download Key Pair. This is the only chance for you to
save the private key file, so be sure to download it. Save the private key file in
a safe place. You'll need to provide the name of your key pair when you
launch an instance and the corresponding private key each time you connect
to the instance
Warning Don't select the Proceed without a key pair option. If you launch your
instance without a key pair, then you can't connect to it. When you are ready,
select the acknowledgement check box, and then choose Launch Instances.
10. A confirmation page lets you know that your instance is launching. Choose
View Instances to close the confirmation page and return to the console.
11. On the Instances screen, you can view the status of the launch. It takes a
short time for an instance to launch. When you launch an instance, its initial
state is pending. After the instance starts, its state changes to running and it
receives a public DNS name. (If the Public DNS (IPv4) column is hidden,
choose Show/Hide Columns (the gear-shaped icon) in the top right corner of
the page and then select Public DNS (IPv4).)
12. It can take a few minutes for the instance to be ready so that you can
connect to it. Check that your instance has passed its status checks; you can
view this information in the Status Checks column.
Step 2: Connect to Your Instance There are several ways to connect to your
Linux instance. For more information, see Connect to Your Linux Instance.

Important:- You can't connect to your instance unless you launched it with a
key pair for which you have the .pem file and you launched it with a security
group that allows SSH access from your computer. If you can't connect to your
instance, see Troubleshooting Connecting to Your Instance for assistance.
Step 3: Clean Up Your Instance After you've finished with the instance that
you created for this tutorial, you should clean up by terminating the instance. If
you want to do more with this instance before you clean up, see Next Steps.
Important Terminating an instance effectively deletes it; you can't reconnect to
an instance after you've terminated it. If you launched an instance that is not
within the AWS Free Tier, you'll stop incurring charges for that instance as
soon as the instance status changes to shutting down or terminated. If you'd
like to keep your instance for later, but not incur charges, you can stop the
instance now and then start it again later. For more information, see Stopping
Instances.
To terminate your instance 69
1. In the navigation pane, choose Instances. In the list of instances, select the
instance.
2. Choose Actions, Instance State, Terminate.
3. Choose Yes, Terminate when prompted for confirmation. Amazon EC2
shuts down and terminates your instance.
After your instance is terminated, it remains visible on the console for a short
while, and then the entry is deleted.
Next Steps. After you start your instance, you might want to try some of the
following exercises:
Learn how to remotely manage your EC2 instance using Run Command. For
more information, see AWS Systems Manager Run Command in the AWS
Systems Manager User Guide.
Configure a Cloud Watch alarm to notify you if your usage exceeds the Free
Tier. For more information, see Create a Billing Alarm in the AWS Billing and
Cost Management User Guide.
Add an EBS volume. For more information, see Creating an Amazon EBS
Volume and Attaching an Amazon EBS Volume to an Instance.
Install the LAMP stack. For more information, see Tutorial: Install a LAMP
Web Server on Amazon Linux 2

Experiment 2:-
Develop a Windows Azure Hello World application

Create a "Hello World!!!" application in Azure using .Net. I used Visual Studio
2010 along with the Azure SDK 1.3 installed. Start Visual Studio and select a
new project. In the cloud template select Windows Azure Cloud Service.
Once you click OK, it asks for selecting a Role. Here we are adding an
ASP.Net Web role.

It will create two projects, CloudService1 (Azure Service Project) and


WebRole1.
ASP.Net Project). The Azure service project is used to configure the
application, and to create a deployment package. The ASP.Net project is like
a normal web project.

Here I removed the header div from the SiteMaster.

And add a text "Hello World!!!!" in the default.aspx

And we are done. Now Select Cloud Service as your startup project
and run it. When you run it, the Azure simulation environment is initialised,
and it starts development storage
and development fabric

And here you can see your Hello World!!!

If you select WebRole1 as your startup project and run the solution, it will run
as a normal ASP.Net project and be hosted locally on localhost.
If you click on the Azure Simulation and select "Show development Fabric UI"
then it will show the Azure services running on your machine.

Here My CloudService1 is running having a single instance of WebRole.

Experiment 4:-
Create a Mashup using Yahoo! Pipes.
The internet is a great resource for news and updates, and no matter what
you‘re looking to keep track of, you‘re sure to be able to find countless sites
that will be able to keep you up to date with the latest information. To help
make it easier to keep track of new developments, you might make use of an
RSS feed to save you having to look things up manually. You might already
be used to using RSS in apps like Google Reader, but there‘s so much more
you can do with RSS feeds.

Pipes is a tool from Yahoo that enables you to take things a step further so
you can, amongst other things, create your own custom RSS feeds that pull in
content from a variety of sources and filter it so that you only see the most
relevant news stories. It‘s a venerable web app, starting off life in a rather
Google-ish way of being in a lengthy period of beta but then living on for
years, long enough that many of us have likely forgotten about it. But it‘s still a
great tool, even in 2012, so let‘s dig in and see what you can do with it.

Getting Started Ready to get started?

Make sure you‘ve got a Yahoo! account (something you likely already have if
you‘ve ever used Flickr). Then, fire up your preferred web browser and pay a
visit to the Yahoo Pipes. Pipes is a tool that lets you take RSS feeds and mix
them together, like pipes mixing two fluids together. Just sign in, and you‘ll be
ready to get started. You‘ll be presented with a blank workspace and this is
where you will be creating your pipes in a visual, drag and drop based
environment. To the left you‘ll see a list of Sources and these are what you will
use to pull in data from other web sites. The pipe we‘re going to create is
going to filter news from existing RSS feeds, so start by dragging a Fetch
Feed module from the left on the workspace.

Yahoo Pipes provides you with a blank canvas on which to work on your
creation In the text field, enter the URL of an RSS feed you would like to work
with and then repeat the process of adding a Fetch Feed module and a feed
for as many feeds as you need. You can check that the feeds are working
correctly by dragging the debugger pane up from the bottom of the screen;
click on of the Fetch Feed modules and the output of the feed will be
displayed here.
Use the debugger to check that your feeds are working as expected

Filtering Feeds

Now we‘re going to add a filter to each feed to control which news stories are
displayed. Click the Operators link to the left to expand the group and then
drag and drop three Filter modules to the workspace. You will now need to
join each of the Fetch Feed modules to a Filteroperator – just click on the
white dot at the bottom of a Fetch Feed module and drag to a white dot at the
top of a Filter box to establish a link.

Modules need to be linked together in order for filters and other operators to
take effect

Once links have been set up you can use the drop down menu in each of the
Filter boxes to choose to block or permit different content and you can then
specify keywords that will be looked for in titles, authors and other parts of
feed items. As well as permitting and blocking content based on individual
keywords, you can also configure multiple rules that must be matched before
content of displayed or blocked.

Filter modules can be used to tightly control which news items appear in your
pipe feeds

Unifying Filtered Feeds


Additional operations can be applied to feeds, but for the purposes of this
guide, we‘ll start to tie things up. Back in the Operators section to the left, drag
a Union module onto the workspace. You can then join each of the Filter
modules to the nodes on the top of the Union module, before joining this to the
Pipe Output module at the bottom of the workspace. You should use the
debugger to check that your filters are working correctly and if you‘re happy
with the output, click the untitled tab at the top of the page and enter a suitable
new name before clicking OK.

A Union module can be used to bring all of your filtered content together Click
the Save button to the upper right of the page and then click the Properties
button. In the pop up window that appears you can enter a description for your
pipe as well as a number of keywords to enable other people to search for and
make use of it. A tags

A tag and a description so that other people can track down the pipes you
make.

To check how your pipe looks, click the Run Pipe link – you can also visit the
My Pipes Section of the web site and then click the pipe you are interested in.
If you find that you need to make any changes or additions, just click the Edit
Source link, but otherwise you can make use of the pipe as a feed by clicking
the Get as RSS link

The My Pipes section of Yahoo Pipes provides access to your creations

Browsing Premade Pipes

Creating your own pipes can be fun and rewarding but, depending on what
you are looking for them to do, it can also be a complex and frustrating
experience. Before you spend an age creating a complicated pipe, it is worth
taking look through what other users have put together – even if you do not
find something that precisely meets your needs, you may well stumble across
something that could be adapted, or at least gives you an idea of how to
achieve what you‘re looking to create. Once you‘re logged into your account
you can either use the search box to the upper right of the page to look for
something matching certain criteria, or you can click the Browse button in the
upper navigation bar to take a look through other people‘s creations.

There are a wealth of readymade pipes that you can use as-is or adapt to suit
your needs Yahoo Pipes is an extremely versatile service that can be twisted
and tweaked to work in a huge variety of ways. If you are a programmer, there
is great scope for getting your hands dirty with interactive pipes that enable
you to get more from the web, but even the most simple creations are very
useful. But even if you‘ve never coded in your life, Yahoo Pipes makes it easy
to get the data you want from the web, mixed up and sorted just the way you
want it. Have you ever used Yahoo Pipes, or is this your first time to try it? It‘d
be fun to hear some of the ways our readers are using Yahoo Pipes to make
feeds that work best for them.
