What is Cloud Computing
  • Cloud computing is a technology that uses the
    internet and central
  • remote servers to maintain data and applications.
  • It provides on demand resources and services
    over the internet with the power of scalability
    and reliability.

4
Key Characteristics and Benefits
  • Economy
  • The most frequent reason cited was that the cloud
    wins in cost.
  • Zero Upfront Infrastructure Cost
  • Pay as per Use
  • Time Just in time Infrastructure
  • Elasticity Scale up, scale down, on-demand
    Improved Testability, Experimentation
  • Better Resource Utilization
  • Potential for shrinking the Processing Time
  • Overflow the traffic to Cloud

Different Cloud Service Models
http//hrushikeshzadgaonkar.wordpress.com/
7
3 Building Blocks
  • SaaS on-demand software delivery model in which
    software and its associated data are hosted
    centrally on a cloud and are typically accessed
    by users using a client, normally using a web
    browser over the Internet.
  • Allows users to run existing online applications
  • PaaS This includes hardware (servers, networks,
    load balancers etc) and software (operating
    systems, databases, application servers etc).
    There are a number of PaaS providers including
    Google App Engine, Microsoft Azure and
    Salesforce.coms Force.com.
  • Allows User to create their own cloud
    applications using supplier specific tools and
    languages.
  • IaaS This includes hardware (servers, networks,
    load balancers etc) and software (operating
    systems, databases, application servers etc).
  • Allows Users to run any application they please
    on cloud hardware of their choice

CASE STUDY 1 Amazon EC2
9
Amazon EC2
  • EC2 Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud is a web
    service that provides resizable compute capacity
    in the cloud. It is designed to make web scale
    computing easier for developers.
  • Gives a virtual instance of the machine on the
    cloud to host and run applications on the virtual
    instance.
  • Uses XEN Para-Virtualization Architecture

Amazon EC2 Core Features
  • Amazon Machine Images Contains all the
    information necessary to boot instances of users
    software. It is also possible to use templated
    images that are already available for usage and
    allow instance usage of EC2
  • Amazon EC2 Instance The running system based on
    AMI is referred to as an instance.
  • Amazon Elastic Block Store offers persistent
    storage for EC2 Instances. Designed to protect
    data by automatically creating replicas. EC2
    instances can be stopped and restarted.
  • Elastic Load Balancing Automatically distributes
    incoming application traffic across multiple
    Amazon EC2 instances.
  • Auto Scaling Automatic Scaling up/down of EC2
    Instances, provided by Amazon Cloud Watch.

12
Amazon EC2 Functionality
  • Select a pre-configured, templated image to get
    up and running immediately. (Or Configure a new
    AMI)
  • Configure security and network access on Amazon
    EC2 instance.
  • Choose instance type(s) and operating system.
  • Start, terminate, and monitor instances of AMI as
    per need
  • Determine whether want to run in multiple
    locations, utilize static IP endpoints, or attach
    persistent block storage to your instances.
  • Pay only for the resources that are actually
    consumed

Amazon EC2 Failure Analysis
  • On April 21st 2011, an Amazons Data Center
    failure in Northern Virginia caused dozens of
    popular websites to be out of service for a
    considerable amount of time.
  • Affected Foursquare , Reddit, Hootsuite, Quora,
    many other companies
  • Unaffected Netflix, SimpleGeo, SmugMug
  • What really happened?
  • Amazon Engineers were attempting to upgrade
    primary EBS networks, accidentally routed some
    traffic to a backup network with insufficient
    capacity
  • A large number of EBS nodes lost their connection
    to the replicas they had created, causing them
    immediately look for somewhere to make their
    replicas.
  • Instances which were trying to read/write these
    volumes also get stuck.
  • In order to stabilize and restore EBS cluster,
    all control APIs were disabled in the affected
    Availability zone giving rise to unavailability
    of service.
  • Amazon team took 12 hours to control Replication
    Storm
  • Took much more then that to recover Customers
    data, 0.07 EBS volumes were unrecoverable.

15
Amazon EC2 Failure
  • Lessons Learned
  • Better Communication with Clients in Crisis
  • Amazon Harshest Criticism Lack of any response
    for more than 40 minutes
  • Incident showed weaknesses of a cloud, also
    highlights liabilities in those who have become
    totally dependent upon Clouds.
  • Cloud is still maturing and evolving.
  • Dont store data on Instance or if store then
    back it up frequently. Also make an AMI of your
    instance for easy recreation or cloning.
  • Design your systems keeping Cloud in mind Each
    component (EC2 Instance) should be able to die
    without affecting the whole system.
  • Netflix uses Chaos Monkey (set of Scripts) that
    runs through AWS processes and occasionally shuts
    them down to ensure that rest of the system is
    able to keep running. Also, uses Amazons Cloud
    Redundant Backup Infrastructure.

Case Study C
CASE STUDY 2 Google App Engine
21
Overview
  • Run your application on Google infrastructure.
  • Build your app using
  • JVM bases interpreter or compiler.
  • Python
  • Go
  • Applications build on Google infrastructure are
  • Easy to build, maintain and scale.
  • User has a choice either the app to be served by
    free domain appspot.com or he can his own domain
    name.
  • Starting package is free
  • 10 applications
  • 500 mb storage
  • 5 million page views per month

22
High Level Architecture

choice-than-using-python-on-google-app-engine/
23
How does it work?
  • Dynamic web serving
  • Persistent storage
  • Automatic scaling and load balancing
  • APIs for user authentications and sending emails.
  • Fully featured local development environment.
  • Task queues
  • Scheduled tasks
  • Secure Environment
  • Sandbox
  • Sandbox isolates the application from operating
    system, hardware and physical location of the
    server in very secure and reliable way.
  • This makes load balancing easy

24
DataStore
  • A powerful distributed data storage service.
  • Grows with the amount of traffic.
  • Stores data objects as entities. An entity can
    have more than one property of different types.
  • Create, update or delete happens in a
    transaction.
  • Entity can belong to entity groups also which are
    defined as hierarchy of relationships between
    entities.
  • Uses optimistic concurrency

25
Types of Datastore
  • High Replication datastore
  • Synchronous
  • Highly available and reliable
  • Available for reads and writes during planned
    downtime also
  • Data replicated using Paxos algorithm.
  • 3 times expensive than Master/Slave
  • Master/Slave datastore
  • Asynchronous
  • One datacenter is master at any given time for
    write queries. Therefore offers strong
    consistency.
  • .

26
Services
  • Memcache
  • When to use?
  • Speed up common datastore queries
  • Session data, user preferences and frequently
    performed queries
  • When not to use?
  • Values can expire unexpectedly from cache. Make
    sure that your application runs normally if the
    value is suddenly not available.
  • Quota

27
URL Fetch
  • Communicate with other hosts using http or https
    requests.
  • URL to be fetched can use any port in the range
    80-90,440-450 and 1024-65535.
  • Fetch can use any of GET,POST,PUT, HEAD and
    DELETE.
  • A request handler cannot call its own URL.
  • Default deadline for response for URL fetch is 5
    seconds and maximum is 10 seconds for online and
    10 minutes for offline.
  • Supports both synchronous and asynchronous
    requests.
  • Quota

28
Mail
  • Sending emails
  • The message to be sent is queued and call
    returns immediately.
  • Mail service contact each recipients mail
    server, delivers the message and retries if the
    server was unavailable.
  • If mail service fails in sending message, then
    error message is sent to the address of the
    sender of the message.
  • Receiving emails
  • Receive emails of the form string_at_appid.appspotmai
    l.com
  • Received as HTTP requests
  • Quota

29
BlobStore
  • Allows the app to serve data objects that can be
    upto 2 gigabytes in size.
  • Useful for serving large files , e.g., Videos or
    image files or allowing users to upload large
    files.
  • Cannot be modified once they are created.
  • Quota

30
Capabilities Images
  • Capabilities
  • Detect outages and scheduled downtime.
  • Reduce downtime by detecting if capability is
    available or not.
  • Images
  • Manipulate images(rotate, crop, resize) using
    Image service
  • Support JPEG, PNG,GIF,BMP,TIFF and ICO formats.

31
Channel
  • Creates a persistent API between application and
    Google servers.

http//code.google.com/appengine/docs/java/channel
/overview.html
32
Channel Quota
33
OAuth
  • Protocol that allows a user to grant third party
    limited permission without the user to give
    his/her username or password to the third party.
  • Various steps between user and the service
    provider
  • Consumer calls a web service to get request token
    for app.
  • Redirection of user browser to authentication
    URL, user signs in and tells Google accounts that
    consumer is authorized to access service on
    users behalf.
  • Consumer calls web service to get access token
  • Consumer is authorized to call the service now.

34
Task Queues
  • Apps perform tasks other than from the user
    requests, e.g., for some background work.
    Efficient and powerful tool for background
    processing
  • Push Queues
  • Configure a queue and add tasks to it. App engine
    takes care of rest.
  • Easy to implement but restricted to use within
    app engine.
  • Pull Queues
  • Best choice if using a different system to
    consume tasks.
  • Task consumer leases specific number of tasks
    from the queue and is responsible for deleting it
    afterwards.
  • Gives more flexibility and control over when and
    where tasks will be processed.
  • Quota

35
Users, Multitenancy and XMPP
  • Authenticate users
  • Google accounts
  • Google Apps domain
  • OpenId()
  • One instance of an application servers many
    clients.
  • XMPP Send and receive messages to and from any
    XMPP compatible chatting service , e.g. Google
    talk
  • XMPP quota

36
Billing Model

CASE STUDY 3 Microsoft Azure
38
Microsoft Azure Platform
  • The Windows Azure platform is a simple, reliable,
    and powerful Microsoft platform for creating
    cloud applications, online services, and
    websites.
  • Core products
  • Windows Azure
  • SQL Azure
  • Windows Azure Platform AppFabric

39
Windows Azure
  • Windows Azure is the operating system that helps
    developers build, host and scale applications
    through Microsoft datacenters
  • Applications are run through internet accessible
    data centers.
  • Data stored on machines in a internet accessible
    data center.

40
Windows Azure apps run in data centers accessed
via internet

Main Components of Windows Azure
White Paper Introducing windows azure
42
Windows Azure Components
  • Compute runs apps in the cloud.
  • Storage Stores data in the cloud.(Blobs, tables,
    queues)
  • Fabric Controller Deploys , monitors and manages
    the apps in the cloud.
  • Content Delivery Network For faster access to
    the data storage by maintaining cached copies of
    data.
  • Connect allows connection between on-premises
    computers and applications.

43
Application Roles
  • An application can have one or more instances of
    each of these roles.
  • Web Roles This makes it easy for web based
    applications. It has IIS configured within it.
    This is like front end.
  • So creating WCF, ASP.NET apps is easy.
  • Worker Roles For windows based code. This does
    not have IIS configured. Handles all processing
    like user interactions, video processing etc.
  • When user submits request for some task. That
    task can involve front end and back end tasks.
    Web role takes care of the front end tasks and it
    hands over the processing tasks to the Worker
    role.
  • VM Roles- Helps moving windows server apps to
    windows azure.

44
Submitting App to Azure
  • Submits
  • App
  • Config- tells platform how many instances of each
    role (web, worker)to run.
  • Fabric Controller based on the config file
    info, creates a VM for each instance.

45
Setting up a simple Azure Application
  • http//www.microsoft.com/windowsazure/getstarted/

46
Browser Output
47
Sample Application to store file data to Azure
  • Create a simple text file myfile.txt
  • Create a console application in VS2010
  • Reference Microsoft Azure storage DLL.
  • Create a blob (These are used for storage. They
    can interact with storage as if they were a local
    system file).
  • Set file reference to the blob.
  • Upload file from local to blob.
  • Get the URI of the blob.
  • Now we can access data through this URI.

48
Current Problems/Limitations of Cloud
  • EC2 Limitations
  • Not easy to recover if something goes wrong after
    creating instance.
  • Random Loss of Instances
  • Server Configuration Woes Configuring, Running
    and Monitoring EC2 Instances
  • Azure Limitations
  • Azure provides application level cloud computing
    not infrastructural cloud computing like amazon.
    Can only select applications, no choice of OS.
  • Security concerns We can not be sure who has
    access to data.
  • Learning curve working with storage like blobs,
    tables, queues needs some experience.
  • Poor debugging and logging support for deployed
    applications
  • Untested compared to Google and Amazons
    offerings.
  • App Engine Limitations
  • Returns stale results in case of non ancestoral
    queries in High Replication Datastore.
  • Data may be unavailable during planned downtime
    or failures in case of Master/Slave data store.
