Many companies adopt this trend and start using a platform of their choice. One major issue often named in the context of cloud computing is interoperability. Research was conducted over the last years on Cloud Computing Interoperability with Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) solutions [Ste13a], [Ste13b]. A new and emerging trend in Cloud Computing is Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS). However, research is limited in terms of interoperability between different platforms and solutions. This thesis will show how interoperability between different platforms and solutions can be achieved. The Open Data Center Alliance describes some general necessities for PaaS Interoperability [Ope12]. This includes that an application should run on different cloud solutions to ensure interoperability. In this paper, it is also stated that data should be accessed without the need to re-write code when switching to another platform. Data portability is also a necessity by the European Union. In a position paper, the European Commission describes this already in 2012 [Eur12]. Dillon et al. state that there is significant work to be done for IaaS interoperability and some work for SaaS interoperability [Dil10]. However, they outline that there is not that much of work done yet for Platform as a Service (PaaS) interoperability. This work outlines how interoperability for PaaS solutions can be achieved. In chapter 2, an overview of interoperability and its relevance to cloud computing is given. This chapter will also outline relevant work in the domain that aims at achieving interoperability. Chapter 3 will then discuss cloud platforms used in companies. The most popular cloud platforms are then discussed in detail in chapter 4. In chapter 5, OCI, a new interoperability framework will be proposed. The aim of this framework is to enable interoperability on the PaaS layer. The Page 5 of 95 last chapter, chapter 6, will demonstrate the feasibility of PaaS interoperability with OCI. Furthermore, future work is described in this chapter as well. 2 Cloud Computing Interoperability As initially stated, Cloud interoperability is a challenge in the context of cloud as a technology. This section will outline interoperability, it’s challenges and on-going standardization efforts. 2.1 What is interoperability? Interoperability is used in various levels of software and systems. With Cloud Computing, several major interoperability questions arise. First of all, interoperability can be seen as an infrastructure interoperability element. As for infrastructure interoperability, it is basically about the question on how to move virtual instances from one cloud provider to another. Another interoperability question is about software and tools interoperability. This is not on how to transfer software from one provider to another, it is about how different software languages and tools collaborate in one cloud ecosystem or different cloud ecosystems. An example of that is a message-based communication between a Java-based solution and a Microsoft .NET solution. Mayrbäurl et al. described such a scenario on a Microsoft Azure based solution that itself communicates with an on-premise solution that is written in Java, whereas the Cloud service uses .NET [May11]. The third interoperability question is about the services offered by different distributors. When someone builds a cloud solution based on a specific provider and uses a software stack such as J2EE or Microsoft .NET, it is not that difficult to move the application to another instance or Cloud provider. However, when this application consumes platform-specific services such as a distributed storage service, a messaging service, e-mail and alike, migration Page 6 of 95 becomes challenging. Therefore, providing interoperability on the platform services level is another key issue in Cloud computing interoperability. Gonidis et al. defines Interoperability with two different characteristics [Gon11]. According to this paper, interoperability is when two components

SDLC (Software development life cycle) is responsible for software’s reliability, performance, scalability, functionality and maintainability. Although all phases of SDLC have their own importance but Software architecture serves as the foundation for other phases of SDLC. Just like sketch of a building helps constructor to correctly construct the building, software architecture helps software developer to develop the software properly. There are various styles available for software architecture. In this paper, clear picture of all important software architecture styles are presented along with recent advancement in software architecture and design phases. It could be helpful for a software developer to select an appropriate style according to his/her project’s requirement. An architectural style must be chosen correctly to get its all benefits in the system. All the architectural styles are compared on the basis of various quality attributes. This paper also specifies the application area, advantages and disadvantages of each architectural style. © 20152015 The The Authors. Authors. Published Published by byElsevier Elsevier B.V. B.V.

  • Innovative Feedback System Based on Ibm Bluemix Cloud Service
    INNOVATIVE FEEDBACK SYSTEM BASED ON IBM BLUEMIX CLOUD SERVICE P.P.N.G. Phani Kumar1, N. Anil Chakravarthy2, D.V.S.Ravi Varma3, M.Y.V.Nagesh4 1,2,3,4 Assistant Professor, Department of CSE, Raghu Engineering College, Visakhapatnam, (India). ABSTRACT Getting the right feedback at right time is most important for any organization or an institution. Getting the feedback from the users will help an organization or institution to provide better services to the users or students. Ongoing interaction with users can improve the efficiency of an organization and enable them to provide better service to the users. Until now, several feedback systems are in use which are mostly manual. We propose an efficient feedback system using cloud based computing to generate the report of the faculty performance. In the proposed system all the activities will be done by the use of cloud application Platform as a Service, through the use of IBM Bluemix. Keywords: Android, Bluemix, Cloud Computing, Paas (Platform As A Services) I INTRODUCTION Cloud Computing[1] is a popular technology in which internet and central remote servers are used to store and maintain the data, applications. Cloud computing allows people to use applications without installation of any specialized software and access the required computing facilities from anywhere via internet. By using Cloud computing we can achieve much more efficient computing power by centralizing data storage, processing and bandwidth. Cloud can be available as various services Software as a service (SaaS), Platform as a service (PaaS), Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) 1.1 Services Fig.1: Cloud Computing Services 260 | P a g e Software as a service (SaaS): Software as a service is one type of cloud service in which an application software is installed and manage in the cloud.

  • What Is Cloud Computing?
    Cloud Computing for Nonprofits Executive Summary Written by Afua Bruce February 2020 What is Cloud Computing? Cloud computing can be defined as the rental of someone else‘s computer resources to provide services — applications, infrastructure, security, software, and storage. There are three main categories of cloud computing: infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and software as a service (SaaS). CATEGORY INFRASTRUCTURE AS PLATFORM AS A SERVICE SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE A SERVICE Abbreviation IaaS PaaS SaaS Cloud provider Provides the server Maintain system software, Deliver software through an internet responsibilities hardware and a small including upgrades and connection; maintain system amount of storage and patches; tools to manage software and databases; provision networking software to hardware and software user accounts and provide security host applications Example services Amazon Web Services Amazon Web Services (AWS) Office 365, Salesforce, Google Apps, (AWS) Elastic Compute Elastic Beanstalk, Heroku, Asana, Slack, Calendly, Hootsuite Service, Google Microsoft Azure, Cloud Foundry Compute Engine (GCE), Apache CloudStack, OpenStack Positives and Negatives of Cloud Computing The flexibility of cloud computing makes it attractive to nonprofits.
