The definition of Cloud Computing (CC) is still evolving, but generally consists of an aggregation of computing resources that work cooperatively as a single computing resource. The course starts with a look at the definition and economics of CC and the IaaS model. This unified computing resource can be partitioned on request to define Virtual Machines (VMs) that CC user may request and pay on a usage basis. The primary CC service models are; SaaS (Software as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service), and IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service). Of the three models, IaaS offers the CC user the greatest flexibility and delegates to the CC user the most responsibility. Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a complementary technology to CC and this relationship will be briefly reviewed. Students will be challenged throughout 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 implementing IaaS • Describe the economics of and IaaS deployment • Explain IaaS in the context of a Telecom Providers’ domain • Define IaaS and Cloud Computing • List the technologies upon which CC is based • Describe the differences between SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS • Discuss when IaaS would be the preferred SPI model • Explain the role and tasks of a Hypervisor (VMM) • Discuss the role of Virtualization in CC • Describe where Data Centers and SANs fit into the CC architecture • Outline the key IaaS Management issues • Identify the key capacity planning issues
Intended Audience
