Cloud Computing (CC) is a multifaceted technology generally characterized by its Service Model (SM) type (Software as a Service – SaaS, Platform as a Service - PaaS, Infrastructure as a Service –IaaS). From a user’s perspective SaaS is the simplest, since the Cloud service provider provides everything (software, hardware, management of infrastructure, etc.). IaaS is the other extreme where the Cloud user must manage its own Virtual Machine (VM), but has the ability to configure it in any manner desired. This course will focus on Cloud Computing from the view of the SMs and presents a high level comparison of the three primary SMs, and where they may fit into a wireless networking environment. Students will be challenged throughout the course with review questions and relevant exercises, to reinforce the topics presented in the course material.
Learning Objectives
After completing this course, the student will be able to: • Explain the motivation for deploying each of the three CC SMs • Describe the differences between SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS • Describe the economics of each SM as viewed by the user • Describe the economics of each SM as viewed by the provider • Explain each SM in the context of a Wireless Provider domains • List the technologies upon which CC is based • Describe the “virtualization” process for IaaS • Illustrate changes for Next Generation Data Centers • Illustrate preferred operational scenarios for each SM • Explain the role and tasks of a Hypervisor (VMM) • Sketch the virtualized CC architecture • Describe the key management issues faced by each SM
Intended Audience
This course is intended for a technical audience interested in understanding the basics of Cloud Computing Service Models in the context of a Wireless Service Provider’s network.
