DON’T TELL ME DETAILS!!

I DON’T CARE!! 21
 Utility
Computing
SOA + SLA
Central Ideas
• Perspective from user :
 Users do not care about how the works are done
• Instead, they only concern about what they can get
 Users do not care about what the provider actually did
• Instead, they only concern about their quality of service
 Users do not want to own the physical infrastructure
• Instead, they only want to pay as many as they used

• What dose user really care ?

 They only care about their “Service”

22
 Utility
Computing
SOA + SLA
Utility Computing

• One service provisioning model

 Service provider makes computing resources
and infrastructure management available to the
customer as needed, and charges them for
specific usage rather than a flat rate.
 Like other types of on-demand computing , the
utility model seeks to maximize the efficient use
of resources and/or minimize associated costs.

23
 Utility
Computing
SOA + SLA
What Is Service?

• Service is what you connect together using Web

Services.
• Service is the endpoint of a connection.
• Functionalities of service :
 A service should be well-defined
 A service should be self-contained
 A service should not depend on the context or state of
other services.

24
 Utility
Computing
SOA + SLA
Service Oriented Architecture
• Definition
 Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is essentially a collection of
services which communicate with each other
 Contain a flexible set of design principles used during the phases of
systems development and integration
• Approach
 Usually implemented by Web Service model

26
 Utility
Computing
SOA + SLA
Quality Of Service
• Original definition
 Quality of Service (QoS) is a set of technologies for managing
network traffic in a cost effective manner to enhance user
experiences for home and enterprise environments.

• Now QoS becomes to a broad term

that is used following areas :
 Customer care evaluations
 Technological evaluations

27
 Utility
Computing
SOA + SLA
Quality Of Service
• Customer care evaluations
 QoS is usually measured in terms of issues that have a direct
impact on the experience of the customer
 Only issues that produce a negative effect on the goods and
services received by the customer come under scrutiny

• Technological evaluations
 QoS has to do with the efficient operation of various systems
 This can lead to adjusting procedures or adapting software
programs and code to achieve the desired effect while making a
more efficient use of available resources

28
 Utility
Computing
SOA + SLA
Service Level Agreement
• Definition
 A service-level agreement (SLA) is a contract between a network
service provider and a customer that specifies, usually in
measurable terms (QoS), what services the network service
provider will furnish

• Common content in contract

 Performance guarantee metrics
• Up-time and down-time ratio
• System throughput
• Response time
 Problem management detail
 Penalties for non-performance
 Documented security capabilities
29
 Scalability & Elasticity

Give me the world

without limitation!! 30
 Scalability & Elasticity
• What is scalability ?
 A desirable property of a system, a network, or a process, which
indicates its ability to either handle growing amounts of work in a
graceful manner or to be readily enlarged.
• What is elasticity ?
 The degree to which a system is able to adapt to workload changes by
provisioning and de-provisioning resources in an autonomic manner,
such that at each point in time the available resources match the
current demand as closely as possible".
 Elasticity is a defining characteristic that differentiates cloud
computing from previously proposed computing paradigms, .
• But how to achieve these properties ?
 Dynamic provisioning
 Multi-tenant design
31
 Multi-tenant Design
• What is multi-tenant design ?
 Multi-tenant refers to a principle in software architecture where a
single instance of the software runs on a server, serving multiple
client organizations.
 With a multi-tenant architecture, a software application is designed to
virtually partition its data and configuration thus each client
organization works with a customized virtual application instance.
• Client oriented requirements :
 Customization
• Multi-tenant applications are typically required to provide a high
degree of customization to support each target organization's needs.
 Quality of service
• Multi-tenant applications are expected to provide adequate levels of
security and robustness.
32
Availability & Reliability

Data Never Lost

Machine Never Fail 33
 Availability & Reliability
• What is availability ?
 The degree to which a system, subsystem, or equipment is in a
specified operable and committable state at the start of a mission,
when the mission is called for at an unknown time.
 Cloud system usually require high availability
• Ex. “Five Nines” system would statistically provide 99.999% availability
• What is reliability?
 The ability of a system or component to perform its required
functions under stated conditions for a specified period of time.
• But how to achieve these properties ?
 Fault tolerance system
 Require system resilience
 Reliable system security
34
 Fault Tolerance
• What is fault tolerant system ?
 Fault-tolerance is the property that enables a system to continue
operating properly in the event of the failure of some of its
components.
 If its operating quality decreases at all, the decrease is proportional
to the severity of the failure, as compared to a naively-designed
system in which even a small failure can cause total breakdown.

• Four basic characteristics :

 No single point of failure
 Fault detection and isolation to the failing component
 Fault containment to prevent propagation of the failure
 Availability of reversion modes

35
 Fault Tolerance
• Single Point Of Failure (SPOF)
 A part of a system which, if it fails, will stop the
entire system from working.
 The assessment of a potentially single location of
failure identifies the critical components of a
complex system that would provoke a total
systems failure in case of malfunction.

• Preventing single point of failure

 If a system experiences a failure, it must continue
to operate without interruption during the repair
process.

36
 System Resilience
• What is resilience ?
 Resilience is the ability to provide and maintain an acceptable level
of service in the face of faults and challenges to normal operation.
 Resiliency pertains to the system's ability to return to its original
state after encountering trouble. In other words, if a risk event
knocks a system offline, a highly resilient system will return back to
work and function as planned as soon as possible.

• Some risk events

 If power is lost at a plant for two days, can our system recover ?
 If a key service is lost because a database corruption, can the
business recover ?

37
 System Resilience
• Disaster Recovery
 Disaster recovery is the process, policies and procedures related to
preparing for recovery or continuation of technology infrastructure
critical to an organization after a natural or human-induced
disaster.

• Some common strategies :

 Backup
• Copy data off-site at regular interval
• Replicate data to an off-site location
• Replicate whole system
 Preparing
• Local mirror systems
• Surge protector
• Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) 38
 System Security
• Security issue in Cloud Computing :
 Cloud security is an evolving sub-domain of
computer security, network security, and, more
broadly, information security.
 It refers to a broad set of policies, technologies,
and controls deployed to protect data,
applications, and the associated infrastructure
of cloud computing.

39
 System Security
• Important security and privacy issues :
 Data Protection
• To be considered protected, data from one customer must be
properly segregated from that of another.
 Identity Management
• Every enterprise will have its own identity management system to
control access to information and computing resources.
 Application Security
• Cloud providers should ensure that applications available as a
service via the cloud are secure.
 Privacy
• Providers ensure that all critical data are masked and that only
authorized users have access to data in its entirety.
40
Manageability & Interoperability

I Want Full Control !! 41

 Manageability & Interoperability

• What is manageability ?
 Enterprise-wide administration of cloud computing systems.
 Systems manageability is strongly influenced by network
management initiatives in telecommunications.

interfaces are completely understood, to work with other products
or systems, present or future, without any restricted access or
implementation.
• But how to achieve these properties ?
 System control automation
 System state monitoring

42
 Control Automation
• What is Autonomic Computing ?
 Its ultimate aim is to develop computer systems capable of self-
management, to overcome the rapidly growing complexity of
computing systems management, and to reduce the barrier that
complexity poses to further growth.

• Architectural framework :
 Composed by Autonomic Components (AC) which will interact
with each other.
 An AC can be modeled in terms of two main control loops (local
and global) with sensors (for self-monitoring), effectors (for self-
adjustment), knowledge and planer/adapter for exploiting
policies based on self- and environment awareness.

43
 Control Automation

• Four functional areas :

 Self-Configuration
• Automatic configuration of components.
 Self-Healing
• Automatic discovery, and correction of faults.
 Self-Optimization
• Automatic monitoring and control of resources to ensure the
optimal functioning with respect to the defined requirements.
 Self-Protection
• Proactive identification and protection from arbitrary attacks.

44
 System Monitoring
• What is system monitor ?
 A System Monitor in systems engineering is a process
within a distributed system for collecting and storing
state data.
• What should be monitored in the Cloud ?
 Physical and virtual hardware state
 Resource performance metrics
 Network access patterns
 System logs
 … etc
• Anything more ?
 Billing system 45
 Billing System

• Billing System in Cloud

 Users pay based on their usage.
 Cloud provider must first determine the price of service
usage.
 Cloud provider have to record the resource or service
usage of each user, and then charge users by these
records.
• How can cloud provider know users’ usage ?
 Get those information by means of monitoring system.
 Automatically calculate the total amount of money which
user should pay and request payment.
46
Performance & Optimization

Improvement
47
 Performance & Optimization
• Performance guarantees ?
 As the great computing power in cloud, application performance
should be guaranteed.
 Cloud providers make use of powerful infrastructure or other
underlining resources to build up a highly performing and highly
optimized environment, and then deliver the complete services to
cloud users.

• But how do they achieve this property ?

 Parallel computing
 Load balancing
 Job scheduling

48
 Load Balancing
• What is load balancing ?
 Load balancing is a technique to distribute workload evenly across
two or more computers, network links, CPUs, hard drives, or other
resources,
 The purpose is to get optimal resource utilization, maximize
throughput, minimize response time, and avoid overload.

• Why should we load balance ?

 To improve resource utilization
 To improve system performance
 To improve energy efficiency

Unbalanced
49
 Job Scheduling
• What is job scheduler ?
 A job scheduler is a software application that is in charge of
unattended background executions,
 It is commonly known for historical reasons as batch processing.

• What should be scheduled in Cloud ?

 Computation intensive tasks
 Dynamically growing and shrinking tasks
 Tasks with complex processing dependency

• How to approach ?
 Use pre-defined workflow
 System automatic configuration
50
Accessibility & Portability

a product, device, service, or environment is accessible by as many
people as possible.

• What is service portability ?

 Service portability is the ability to access services using any
devices, anywhere, continuously with mobility support and
dynamic adaptation to resource variations.

• But how do we achieve these properties ?

 Uniform access
 Thin client

52
 Uniform Access
• How do users access cloud services ?
 Cloud provider should provide their cloud service by means of
widespread accessing media.
 In other word, users from different operating systems or other
accessing platforms should be able to directly be served.
 Nowadays, web browser is one of the most widespread platform in
almost any intelligent electronic devices.
 Cloud service take this into concern, and delivery their services
with web-based interface through the Internet.

53
 Thin Client
• What is thin client ?
 Thin client is a computer or a computer program which depends
heavily on some other computer to fulfill its traditional computational
roles.
 This stands in contrast to the traditional fat client, a computer
designed to take on these roles by itself.
• Characteristics :
 Cheap client hardware
• While the cloud providers handle several client sessions at once, the clients
can be made out of much cheaper hardware.
 Diversity of end devices
• End user can access cloud service via plenty of various electronic devices,
which include mobile phones, i-pads, and smart TV.
 Client simplicity
• Client local system do not need complete operational functionalities. 54

• What if you want to have an IT department ?
 Similar to building a new house
• You can rent some virtualized infrastructure and build up your own IT
system among those resources, which may be fully controlled.
• Technical speaking, use the Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) solution.
 Similar to buying an empty house
• You can directly develop your IT system through one cloud platform,
and do not care about any lower level resource management.
• Technical speaking, use the Platform as a Service (PaaS) solution.
 Similar to living in a hotel
• You can directly use some existing IT system solutions, which were
provided by some cloud application service provider, without knowing
any detail technique about how these service was achieved.
• Technical speaking, use the Software as a Service (SaaS) solution.

 Software as a Service
• Software as a Service - SaaS
 The capability provided to the consumer is to use the provider’s
applications running on a cloud infrastructure.
 The applications are accessible from various client devices through
a thin client interface such as a web browser (e.g., web-based
email).
 The consumer does not manage or control the underlying cloud
infrastructure including network, servers, operating systems,
storage, or even individual application capabilities, with the
possible exception of limited user-specific application
configuration settings.
• Examples :
 Google Apps (e.g., Gmail, Google Docs, Google sites, …etc)
 SalesForce.com
 … etc

How to deploy a cloud system ?

CLOUD DEPLOYMENT MODELS

106
 Deployment Model
• There are four primary cloud deployment models :
 Public Cloud
 Private Cloud
 Community Cloud
 Hybrid Cloud

• Each can exhibit the previously discussed characteristics;

their differences lie primarily in the scope and access of
published cloud services, as they are made available to
service consumers.

107
 Public Cloud
• Public cloud definition
 The cloud infrastructure is made available to the general
public or a large industry group and is owned by an
organization selling cloud services.
 Also known as external cloud or multi-tenant cloud, this
model essentially represents a cloud environment that is
openly accessible.
 Basic characteristics :
• Homogeneous infrastructure
• Common policies
• Shared resources and multi-tenancy
• Leased or rented infrastructure
• Economies of scale

108
 Private Cloud
• Private cloud definition
 The cloud infrastructure is operated solely for an
organization. It may be managed by the organization or a
third party and may exist on premise or off premise.
 Also referred to as internal cloud or on-premise cloud, a
private cloud intentionally limits access to its resources
to service consumers that belong to the same
organization that owns the cloud.
 Basic characteristics :
• Heterogeneous infrastructure
• Customized and tailored policies
• Dedicated resources
• In-house infrastructure
• End-to-end control
109
 Community Cloud
• Community cloud definition
 The cloud infrastructure is shared by several organizations and
supports a specific community that has shared concerns (e.g.,
mission, security requirements, policy, and compliance
considerations).

111
 Hybrid Cloud
• Hybrid cloud definition
 The cloud infrastructure is a
composition of two or more clouds
(private, community, or public)
that remain unique entities
 However, they are bound together
by standardized or proprietary
technology that enables data and
application
portability
• (e.g., cloud bursting
for load-balancing between
clouds).
