Designing Private and Hybrid Clouds
Designing Private and Hybrid Clouds Architectural Best Practices Brian Adler Professional Services Architect RightScale, Inc. 1 Abstract The continued expansion of cloud adoption across a broad spectrum of industries and use cases has helped to solidify the establishment of Infrastructure-as-a- Service (IaaS) as a viable, cost-effective, and scalable IT delivery model. As the adoption of public cloud resources has proven effective across a diverse set of use cases, organizations have begun looking inward to find ways to more effectively and efficiently use their existing compute, storage, and networking resources in a similar model. Need breeds options in any industry, and cloud computing is no exception. This desire for internal resource utilization has given rise to numerous private and hybrid cloud technologies that provide tools for on-demand provisioning of compute, storage, and networking resources above and beyond what was available previously in both classic and virtualized datacenters. RightScale, in particular its Professional Services group, has extensive experience helping customers in a variety of industries build private and hybrid clouds and then helping them manage those private and public resources. This white paper describes the considerations that you should make when embarking on the task of creating a private cloud from internal resource pools. It also explains the challenges that you will face at different branches of the decision tree. Additionally, this white paper explores the use cases for the allocation and utilization of these internal resources, focusing in particular on the technological considerations that need to be addressed in the implementation of these use cases. And lastly, it provides a reference architecture for private and hybrid clouds that is the framework for the customized architectures used by many RightScale customers. -
Cloud Computing: a Taxonomy of Platform and Infrastructure-Level Offerings David Hilley College of Computing Georgia Institute of Technology
Cloud Computing: A Taxonomy of Platform and Infrastructure-level Offerings David Hilley College of Computing Georgia Institute of Technology April 2009 Cloud Computing: A Taxonomy of Platform and Infrastructure-level Offerings David Hilley 1 Introduction Cloud computing is a buzzword and umbrella term applied to several nascent trends in the turbulent landscape of information technology. Computing in the “cloud” alludes to ubiquitous and inexhaustible on-demand IT resources accessible through the Internet. Practically every new Internet-based service from Gmail [1] to Amazon Web Services [2] to Microsoft Online Services [3] to even Facebook [4] have been labeled “cloud” offerings, either officially or externally. Although cloud computing has garnered significant interest, factors such as unclear terminology, non-existent product “paper launches”, and opportunistic marketing have led to a significant lack of clarity surrounding discussions of cloud computing technology and products. The need for clarity is well-recognized within the industry [5] and by industry observers [6]. Perhaps more importantly, due to the relative infancy of the industry, currently-available product offerings are not standardized. Neither providers nor potential consumers really know what a “good” cloud computing product offering should look like and what classes of products are appropriate. Consequently, products are not easily comparable. The scope of various product offerings differ and overlap in complicated ways – for example, Ama- zon’s EC2 service [7] and Google’s App Engine [8] partially overlap in scope and applicability. EC2 is more flexible but also lower-level, while App Engine subsumes some functionality in Amazon Web Services suite of offerings [2] external to EC2. -

One important S S S S group are those concerns regarding the handling of data. On the one hand, users and companies have requirements how S S S S their data should be treated. On the other hand, lawmakers impose requirements and obligations for specific types of data. These requirements have to be addressed in order to enable the affected users and companies to utilize cloud computing. Figure 1. Intercloud Scenario However, we observe that current cloud offers, especially in an intercloud setting, fail to meet these requirements. Users have no way to specify their requirements for data handling data, especially to the cloud. These requirements typically in the cloud and providers in the cloud stack – even if they restrict, e.g., how long and where a specific piece of data were willing to meet these requirements – can thus not treat might be stored. However, in current cloud offers it is the data adequately. In this paper, we identify and discuss the impossible to meet these requirements adequately [9], as challenges for enabling data handling requirements awareness users cannot specify their requirements and cloud providers in the (inter-)cloud. -

Design of a Platform of Virtual Service Containers for Service Oriented Cloud Computing
DESIGN OF A PLATFORM OF VIRTUAL SERVICE CONTAINERS FOR SERVICE ORIENTED CLOUD COMPUTING Carlos de Alfonso Andrés García Vicente Hernández INDEX • Introduction • Our approach • Platform design • Storage • Security • Management and QoS • Catalogue • User Interface • Virtual Container • User profiles • Working lines and open problems 2 INTRODUCTION • In the latter years there have been a growing interest in Cloud Computing technologies and its possible applications. • There have appeared many commercial products • Mainly storage and Infrastructure as a Service. • Storage examples: Amazon S3, Nirvanix, Savvis • IaaS examples: Amazon EC2, GoGrid, 3Tera • Other examples: Google App Engine, Salesforce, Engine Yard • Some small sets of open Cloud Computing tools have been also developed. • Eucalyptus, Nimbus, OpenNebula, Enomaly, Abicloud, etc. • Almost any of them are oriented to the IaaS level, since there is a lack of research projects towards other cloud approaches. 3 INTRODUCTION • Currently most of cloud computing solutions are focusing in the lowest levels of the infrastructure. • Virtual machine deployment and management infrastructure. • Storage management infrastructure. • The current approach of vendors, to deploy Services in the cloud, is based in those levels instead of Services virtualization. • Provider’s approach is to package a preconfigured service in a virtual machine image, and deploy a whole virtual appliance to run the service. • There are some drawbacks like the waste of resources, a less direct service management, the low abstraction level, etc. OUR APPROACH • To offer a platform which enable developers to deploy and to manage virtual services as IaaS platforms deploy and manage virtual machines. • That means to deploy only the service instance that is needed, instead of deploying the whole virtual appliance. -

CLOUD COMPUTING 1 Cloud Computing Cloud Computing Question 1 Amazon Web Services (AWS) has provided several significant advantages to Ericsson. First of all, Ericsson has been able to manage its business due to the global infrastructure management services that are provided by AWS. This global infrastructure has enabled Ericsson to save the costs in various aspects of their business and thus, gain huge amount of profit (AWS, 2014). Moreover, due to the services of AWS, Ericsson is now able to develop and launch latest software and applications at any time according to the requirements of the market. AWS has allowed Ericsson to increase and decrease their production according to the variation in demand. In addition, due to the remote access services provided by AWS, consumers of Ericsson can access the cloud based services irrespective of their location. Ericsson has also benefitted from AWS due to the cheap and scalable infrastructure platforms. The data centers of these infrastructures are located in all parts of the world (AWS, 2014). Likewise, the CLOUD COMPUTING 2 Rightscale cloud management platform provided by AWS helped Ericsson substantially to dominate the market of cloud services. Question 2 Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud which is more commonly known as EC2 is equipped with various distinguishing features. The most noteworthy feature is a complete environment consisting of memory, processor and software that is already configured. The scalability feature of EC2 can be availed instantly by simply paying for the service before using it. Thus, a lot of time is saved that can be otherwise wasted while buying and booting new server (Varia & Mathew, 2013). -
