Overview Cloud Computing Definition Cloud Computing Definition “ Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on demand network access to a shared on ‐ demand pool of configurable computing resources (networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released, with minimal management effort or service service provider interaction. provider interaction. This cloud model promotes availability and is composed of five essential characteristics, three delivery models, and four deployment models ”.

Overview Cloud Computing Definition (cont.) Cloud Computing Definition (cont.) Five Essential Characteristics: On Demand Service (ASAP - When I Say I Need It, Or I Don’t ; Also – Self Service)  Ubiquitous Network Access (Instantly Connected) Ubiquitous Network Access (Instantly Connected)  Location Indep. Resource Pooling (Availability/Who cares where the servers are?)  Rapid Elasticity (Scalable – larger and smaller)  Measured Service (Track & Bill For What is Actually Used) ( y )  Delivery Models: Software as a Service (SaaS)  Platform as a Service (PaaS) ( )  Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)  Deployment Models: Private Cloud  Community Cloud  Public Cloud  Hybrid Cloud 

Overview Deployment Model Overview Deployment Model Overview COMMUNITY CLOUD PUBLIC CLOUD Shared by several Made available to the organizations and supports general public or a large a specific community that industry group and is has shared concerns owned by an organization selling cloud services. HYBRID CLOUD Composition of two or more clouds PRIVATE CLOUD (private, community, or public) that remain unique entities but are bound Operated solely for an together by standardized or organization. proprietary technology that enables data and application portability

Real World “The Cloud” - Not Much New Here The Cloud Not Much New Here M i f Mainframes - Pioneered Several of These Technologies Decades Ago: • Time Sharing • Multi ‐ tenancy • Virtualization • Automation • Scalability Scalability

Real World “CLOUD” Computing, What Really Makes It Work? CLOUD Computing, What Really Makes It Work? Scalable Infrastructure  Processing Complexes  Storage Storage   Network  Standards and Repeatable Processes (and Good Governance)  Limited Offerings Limited Offerings – Based On Core Skill Sets Based On Core Skill Sets  Templates  Operating Systems  Databases  Middl Middleware (Web/App Servers, Database Servers, etc.) (W b/A S D t b S t )  Automation  Allows Rapid Provisioning/De-Provisioning  Efficient Builds from Templates  Patching  Compliance and Security Scanning 

Real World “CLOUD” Computing, What Really Makes It Work? CLOUD Computing, What Really Makes It Work? Virtualization  Less Hardware (Less Energy, Less Floor Space, Less Infrastructure)  Pools of Servers  Elasticity  Workload Mobility (i.e. VMotion)  Availability  Serviceability Serviceability   Improved Manageability  Security  Insure new technologies don't introduce weaknesses Insure new technologies don t introduce weaknesses  Competitive Rates/Chargeback 

Real Cloud Business What Are The Challenges? What Are The Challenges? Commercial Offerings/Marketing vs Reality – Vendor Hype/Hidden Costs  Licensing – Vendor Models Vary Greatly   Beware of the “Sub Capacity Licensing” Trap ** Shared Resources – One workload “could” affect others  Security – Multi-tenancy is a concern Security – Multi-tenancy is a concern   Automation Can’t Cure Organizational/Process Issues  Governance – IT Service Mgmt - Change/Problem/Incident Handling 

Real Cloud Business What Are The Challenges? What Are The Challenges? Data in The Cloud:  Privileged User Access – Who can touch/see the data?  Regulatory Compliance – Available for audits?  Data Location – What country/jurisdiction?  Recovery – backups or replication for DR?  Investigative Support – Adequate logging and safeguards?  Long-term Viability – Access to data after mergers or failures  Portability of data – Can the data be moved out of the current provider?  Deleting Data – Can it be erased from Cloud providers? 
