This document provides an overview of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud computing. It discusses the history and definitions of cloud computing, compares popular cloud platforms like AWS, OpenStack, CloudStack and Eucalyptus. It also explains key concepts in cloud computing like virtualization, containers, APIs, automation etc. Examples of how IaaS can benefit companies of different sizes are provided. The document encourages interaction and provides contact information for the cloud computing community.

“There are a time when every
household,town,farm,or village had
its own water well.Today,Shared
public utilities give us access to
clean water by simply turning on the
tap;Cloud computing works in a
similar fashion.”
10. By Krishnan Subramanian 2010
Electrical power generation and
delivery through electrical grid are
similar to the cloud provider taking
care of compute power and
delivering through internet.
Pay as you go pricing model.
Enormous cost savings that
accompanies large scale centralized
power/compute generation and
delivery.
11. –《the prehistory of Cloud》
“Stop thinking about ‘the cloud’ as a
noun and to begin to us ‘clouding’
as a verb,Now everything can be
clouded.Airbnb are modern versions
of housing clouds delivering
housing as a service,and
similarly,Zipcar and Uber are car
cloud.”
14. –AWS
“Cloud computing is the on-demand
delivery of IT resources and
applications via the Internet with
pay-as-you-go pricing.
Cloud computing provides a simple
way to access servers, storage,
databases, and a broad set of
application services over the
Internet.”
16. –Buyya et al.
““Cloud is a parallel and
distributed computing system consisting of a collection of
inter-connected
and virtualised computers that are dynamically provisioned
and presented as one
or more unified computing resources based on service-level
agreements (SLA)
established through negotiation between the service provider
and consumers.”
17. –Vaquero et al.
“clouds are a large pool of easily usable and
accessible virtualized resources (such as hardware, development platforms
and/or services). These resources can be dynamically reconfigured to adjust
to a variable load (scale), allowing also for an optimum resource utilization.
This pool of resources is typically exploited by a pay-per-use model in which
guarantees are offered by the Infrastructure Provider by means of customized
Service Level Agreements.”
18. – McKinsey and Co. report
““Clouds are hardware based
services offering compute, network,
and storage capacity where:
Hardware management is highly
abstracted from the buyer, buyers
incur
infrastructure costs as variable
OPEX, and infrastructure capacity is
highly
elastic.”
19. –University of California Berkeley
““(1) the illusion of infinite
computing
resources; (2) the elimination of an
up-front commitment by cloud
users; and
(3) the ability to pay for use ... as
needed ...”
24. –Eric Schmidt 2006
“We call it cloud computing – they
should be in a "cloud" somewhere.”
25. –aws on wikipedia
“Amazon EC2 was built by a team in
Cape Town, South Africa, under
Pinkham and lead developer Chris
Brown.”
26. –“cloud computing” on wikipedia
“In July 2010, Rackspace Hosting
and NASA jointly launched an open-
source cloud-software initiative
known as OpenStack. ”
