Definition of Ian Foster, the father of Grid Computing Reported on: Cloud computing and grid computing 360-degree A large-scale distributed computing paradigm that is driven by economies of scale, in which a pool of abstracted, virtualized, dynamically-scalable, managedcomputing power, storage, platforms, and services are delivered on demand to external customers over the Internet. University of Messina What’s Cloud Computing • A large-scale distributed computing paradigm, in which a pool of virtualized resources are delivered on demand to external customers over the Internet. • Virtualization allows servers, storage devices, and other hardware to be treated as a pool of resources rather than discrete systems. • It’s a highly dynamic environment, where virtual resources can be migrated and composed in order to provide IaaS, PaaS, SaaS.

Different subsequent stages for Cloud Computing market T. Bittman, The evolution of the cloud computing market, Gartner Blog Network, http://blogs.gartner.com/thomas bittman/2008/11/03/the- evolution-of-the-cloud-computing-market/, November 2008. • 1)Monolithic: (now !!!!), cloud services are based on proprietary architectures - islands of cloud services delivered by megaproviders (this is what Amazon, Google, Salesforce and Microsoft look like today). • 2) Vertical Supply Chain: some cloud providers will leverage cloud services from other providers. The clouds will be proprietary islands yet, but the ecosystem building will start. • 3) Horizontal Federation: smaller, medium, and large providers will federate horizontally themselves to gain: economies of scale, an efficient use of their assets, and an enlargement of their capabilities.

Cloud Computing: A style of computing where massively scalable IT-enabled capabilities are delivered as a service to external customers using Internet technologies. Premise: No single cloud can create a seemingly infinite infrastructure capable of serving massive amounts of users at all times, from all locations RESERVOIR: Investigate technologies for advanced Cloud ComputingFocus on technologies that enable to build afederation of cooperating computing clouds RESERVOIR SPEDA 2010 - Atlanta, August 24 2010
RESERVOIR Motivations • Service-Oriented economy is at our door • Services over the Internet are winning in the market • Consumers use Facebook, YouTube, eBay, Amazon, Second Life… • SMEs use hosted Microsoft Exchange, Salesforce.com • Enterprises routinely rely on remote IT outsourcing • Services reduce complexity and cost • Service-Oriented Economy requires: • Service-Oriented Infrastructure SPEDA 2010 - Atlanta, August 24 2010
RESERVOIR Vision • The Next Generation Infrastructure for Service Delivery • Provide revolutionary foundation for a new European infrastructure where resources and services can be transparently and dynamically managed, provisioned and relocated like utilities – virtually “without borders” • No single facility/provider can create a seemingly infinite infrastructure capable of serving massive amounts of users at all times, from all locations • Federation of clouds • Leverage the diversity factor to achieve economies of scale • Leverage locality • Analogies exists in areas outside IT services • Electrical power delivery: capacity can be shifted to guarantee supply and lower costs • Roaming cellular communications: talk wherever you are • Enable utility-like deployment of services, relieving the service consumer from awareness of the IT attributes while assuring QoS and security SPEDA 2010 - Atlanta, August 24 2010
RESERVOIR Challenges • The RESERVOIR envisioned highly dynamic and cooperative infrastructure relies on: • A service definition language that captures in a high level language the functional and infrastructure requirements of the service (including servers, images, network, storage, inter-tier relations and QoS requirements) • An abstraction layer that separates implementation details from the high level automation systemthat is responsible for the provisioning, monitoring and reallocation of resources • Inter-domain protocols that enable multiple management sites to cooperate in providing a single service, where the cooperation is automatically driven from a service definition document (fully automated cross-domains SLA management) • The capability of creating fully isolated virtual organizations spread across geographies and management domains • The flexibility of placing and relocating service instances on resources anywhere even across geographies and management domains SPEDA 2010 - Atlanta, August 24 2010
The pillars of CC (according to RESERVOIR) • Separation • Cloud computing providers lease resources on pay-per-use basis but do not expose infrastructure details to customers or partners • Cloud computing consumers use leased resources without exposing details of their applications to providers • Isolation • Given the hosting nature of cloud computing providers, consumers need mechanisms and warranties that their application are isolated from others that are being hosted in the same infrastructure • Elasticity • Cloud computing providers should automatically adjust the resources allocated to a particular application according to “elasticity rules” provided by cloud computing consumer • And… Federation To overcome the finite amount of resources available locally, cloud computing providers should be able to collaborate among themselves and share their resources SPEDA 2010 - Atlanta, August 24 2010

The UTILITY COMPUTING Application • Based on SunGridEngine (SGE or GE) • SGE providesworkload management and dynamicprovisioningofapplicationworkloads. • SGE acceptsjobsfrom the outside world, queues and schedulesthemaccordingtopolicies • SunGridEngine can be in clusteredconfiguration. The cluster consistsof the followingcorecomponents: • hosts, • Daemons • Queues • Todeploysuch a system in a Cloudinfrastructureitisnecessarytoguaranteeintercommunicationamongall the VirtualMachinethathost the GRID environment. SPEDA 2010 - Atlanta, August 24 2010
The TELCO Application • Telcooperator: Telefonica Spain • Massive access Web Serviceslinkedto a worldwideevent, like the Olympics, or a service likeYoutube • “Platformas a Service” (PaaS) business modelwhere the Telcooperatorcouldhostowned or third party servicesover a CloudComputing. • Third party service couldbecreatedwithplatformservices (billing, messaging, video streaming, VoIP, etc.). • Transparentintercommunicationamong the inter-domain federatednetworks SPEDA 2010 - Atlanta, August 24 2010
The eBUSINESSApplication • eBusinessuse case based on a commercial application, the SAP software customers management. • A SAP system is a three-tiers system consistingof a presentationlayer, applicationlayer and a database layer. • The maincomponents are:• • DialogueInstance (DI)hosts the work processesthatexecute the ABAP programsas a responsetouserrequests. • Thereisonly a single CentralInstance (CI) per SAP system. The CIcommunicateswith the DIs and performscentralservicessuchaslocking, messaging, registrationofDIs, and sessioninitiation and loadbalancingamongDis. • A single Database Management System (DBMS) serves the SAP system. The DBMS accessesitsstorageeitheras a Network-AttachedStorage (NAS) or by a Storage Area Network (SAN). • Intercommunicationamongall the physicalhosts and hypervisorswhere the VMsofDIs, CIs and DBMS are confined, even in partner clouds SPEDA 2010 - Atlanta, August 24 2010
University of Messina Motivations for the Cloud Name Space • A cloud environment includes many concrete and abstracted entities which need to be identified, whose states can frequently change • e.g. A “virtual machine” • It can be allocated, deallocated or migrated from a cloud to another. • A migration could trigger an identity alteration: a virtual resoruce being part of a virtual cloud service could later become part of another cloud service. • Cloud entities could have one or more names, identifiers, and representations in various cloud contexts SPEDA 2010 - Atlanta, August 24 2010
University of Messina Cooperating Clouds: Naming Issues • Clouds are heterogeneous: each cloud may have its own naming system (e.g. DNS, URI-based, P2P, …) • These naming systems, considered alone, are not enough. • The management and integration of Independent Cloud Name Spaces can be difficult. SPEDA 2010 - Atlanta, August 24 2010
