 Experiment No. 1
Objective: Working of Goggle Drive to make spreadsheet and notes.

Requirement: Google account, Internet Connection.

THEORY:

Google Docs is a free cloud-based suite of tools for creating documents, spreadsheets,
presentations, and more. This tutorial will cover the Spreadsheets application in Google Docs, in
addition to showing you how to access and store your Docs from Google Drive.

Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides are productivity apps that let you create different kinds of
online documents, work on them in real time with other people, and store them in your Google
Drive online — all for free. You can access the documents, spreadsheets, and presentations you
create from any computer, anywhere in the world. (There's even some work you can do without
an Internet connection!) This guide will give you a quick overview of the many things that you
can do with Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides.

Google Docs

Google Docs is an online word processor that lets you create and format text documents and
collaborate with other people in real time. Here's what you can do with Google Docs:

• Upload a Word document and convert it to a Google document

• Add flair and formatting to your documents by adjusting margins, spacing, fonts, and
colors — all that fun stuff
• Invite other people to collaborate on a document with you, giving them edit, comment or
view access
• Collaborate online in real time and chat with other collaborators — right from inside the
document
• View your document's revision history and roll back to any previous version
• Download a Google document to your desktop as a Word, OpenOffice, RTF, PDF,
HTML or zip file
• Translate a document to a different language
• Email your documents to other people as attachments

Google Sheets

Google Sheets is an online spreadsheet app that lets you create and format spreadsheets and
simultaneously work with other people. Here's what you can do with Google Sheets:

• Import and convert Excel, .csv, .txt and .ods formatted data to a Google spreadsheet
• Export Excel, .csv, .txt and .ods formatted data, as well as PDF and HTML files
• Use formula editing to perform calculations on your data, and use formatting make it
look the way you'd like

To create a new document, go to your Drive, click the Create button, and select Document.

A window with a new Google document will open, and you'll be able to edit the document, share
it with other people, and collaborate on it in real-time. Google Docs saves your document
automatically, and you can always access it from your Drive.

Name a document

When you create a new document, Google Docs will name it Untitled by default.

To choose a name other than Untitled, click the File menu, and select Rename. From here you
can choose and confirm your document's title. You can also edit the name by clicking the title
displayed at the top of the page, and making your changes in the dialog that appears. Titles can
be up to 255 characters long.

Delete a document

Delete an item that you own from your Drive

1. From your Drive, select the item(s) you want to delete.
2. From the More menu, choose Move to trash.
3. If you're deleting a shared document that you own, you'll see an option to change the
ownership of the document.
4. The item will be moved to the Trash.
5. To purge individual items from Trash, select them and choose Delete forever. To purge
all your items click Empty Trash in the upper left.

Create and save a document

There are different ways of getting started using Google documents: you can create a new online

work every few seconds. At the top of the document, you'll see text that indicates when your
document was last saved. You can access your document at any time by opening your Drive at-
[Link]

To save a copy of a document to your computer, you can download it. In your document, go to
the File menu and point your mouse to the Download as option. Select one of the following file
types: HTML (zipped), RTF, Word, Open Office, PDF, and plain text. Your document will
download to your computer.

Upload a document
You can upload existing documents to Google documents at any time. When you're uploading,
you can either keep your document in its original file type or convert it to Google Docs format.
Converting your document to Google Docs format allows you to edit and collaborate online from
any computer.

Note: When uploaded, images within a document are left as images (rather than being converted
to text by Optical Character Recognition technology).

You can upload the following file types:

• .html

 Experiment No. 4

Objective: Working in Codenvy to demonstrate Provisioning and Scaling of a

website.
Requirement: Login account in Codenvy, Cloud Bees.
THEORY:
PaaS Overview

One of the advantages of coding in the cloud with Codenvy is deploying to a PaaS of choice once
the app has been built, run and tested in Codenvy. Users do not need to install any plugins or
administer their workspaces in any way. Codenvy talks to API of most popular PaaS providers.
Currently, the following PaaS are supported:
• AppFog
• CloudBees
• AWS Elastic Beanstalk
• Google App Engine
• Heroku
• Openshift
• ManyMo (to run Android apps)
The mechanism of deploying, updating and configuring apps slightly differs depending on the
chosen PaaS provider. To be able to deploy to a PaaS authentication is required ( Login or Switch
Account in PaaS menus). Codenvy will handle connection to a PaaS account, retrieving
information on existing apps and providing tools to manage them.
Some providers will require deploy of SSH keys and git operations to update the apps (Heroku,
OpenShift), while others (GAE, AWS) make it possible to update apps in one click. When
deploying an application, it is created in Codenvy and then deployed to a PaaS. OpenShift is an
exception from this rule – the application is created there and then pulled to a Codenvy
workspace.

It is possible to import existing apps deployed to some PaaS (Heroku) or overwrite existing

Prof. Atul Kumar Shrivastava

Cse , Sirte
applications (Google App Engine). You can find detailed how-to guides on how to get started
with PaaS in Codenvy in a PaaS menu on the left sidebar. Check out PaaS support chart:

Registration and Login

There are several registration options available in Codenvy:
• The fastest and the easiest way is to register using your Google or GitHub account. Click
Sign in with Google or GitHub and follow the registration process. Your Codenvy
workspace name will be identical to your Google or GitHub ID. Note that you will need a
verified email associated with your GitHub account.
• If you do not have accounts with Gmail or GitHub or just want to choose a domain name
by yourself, enter your email and the desired domain name, and press Go.

Getting Started Using Codenvy Factories

You can find Codenvy Factorybuttons at his site, С[Link] or anywhere on the net. If you
click on a Factory button, we will create a temporary workspace for you with the project of your
choice. After a fruitful coding session in a temporary workspace you can create a permanent
account with Codenvy by pressing Create Account button in the top right corner of a temporary
workspace.

Create a Project from Scratch

Once logged in to Codenvy, the Welcome Screen and Get Started Wizard will help you make
your first steps. If this is your first visit to Codenvy and you do not have any created projects, you
will see the below window. Creation of a new project will barely take 1-2 minutes, and the
wizard will guide you through each step (entering project name, choosing a technology and
PaaS).

Prof. Atul Kumar Shrivastava

Cse , Sirte
You can also create a new project from the Welcome Screen - Create a New Project From
Scratch

A Smart Wizard will guide you through the process of creating your project. You need to choose
a Technology and the supported PaaS in case you want to deploy your application. Each
technology is tied up with the supported PaaS, thus, making your choice error-free.
• To complete a project creation procedure, choose a Template (there are several
templates to choose from, depending on the chosen technology and PaaS).

Prof. Atul Kumar Shrivastava

Cse , Sirte
The next stages depend on whether or not you want to deploy your application to PaaS right way,
and what PaaS you have chosen.

Please, have a quick look at the video demonstrating a new user friendly Create a Project Wizard.

Import GitHub Projects

Importing a project from GitHub will create a new project and by clone the content of a GitHub
repository. You will find a GitHub import option on the Welcome Screen

• Click OK to go to a GitHub authorization page.

• authorize the app

• Choose the repository you want to import (check Git Read-Only if necessary) and click

Architecture

Prof. Atul Kumar Shrivastava

Cse , Sirte
 Experiment No. 5
Objective: Installation and Configuration of Hadoop/Eucalyptus.
Requirement: Java 1.6, Eclipse Europa 3.3.2, Cygwin.
THEORY:
Hadoop is a powerful framework for automatic parallelization of computing tasks. Unfortunately
programming for it poses certain challenges. It is really hard to understand and debug Hadoop
programs. One way to make it a little easier is to have a simplified version of the Hadoop cluster
that runs locally on the developer's machine. This tutorial describes how to set up such a cluster
on a computer running Microsoft Windows. It also describes how to integrate this cluster with
Eclipse, a prime Java development environment.

Prerequisites
Before we begin, make sure the following components are installed on your workstation:
• Java 1.6
• Eclipse Europa 3.3.2

This tutorial has been written for and tested with Hadoop version 0.19.1. If you are using
another version, some things may not work.
Make sure you have exactly the same versions of the software as shown above. Hadoop will
not work with versions of Java earlier than 1.6 and versions of Eclipse later than 3.3.2 due to
plug-in API incompatibility.
Installing Cygwin
After installing the prerequisite software, the next step is to install the Cygwin environment.
Cygwin is a set of Unix packages ported to Microsoft Windows. It is needed to run the scripts
supplied with Hadoop because they are all written for the Unix platform.
To install the cygwin environment follow these steps:
1. Download cygwin installer from [Link]
2. Run the downloaded file. You will see the window shown on the screenshots below.

Prof. Atul Kumar Shrivastava

Cse , Sirte
Cygwin Installer
3. When you see the above screenshot, keep pressing the 'Next' button until you see the package
selection screen shown below. Make sure you select 'openssh'. This package is required for
the correct functioning of the Hadoop cluster and Eclipse plug-in.

4. After you selected these packages press the 'Next' button to complete the installation.

Set Environment Variables

The next step is to set up the PATH environment variable so that Eclipse IDE can access Cygwin
commands here.
To set environment variables follow these steps:
1. Find "My Computer" icon either on the desktop or in the start menu, right-click on
it and select Properties item from the menu.
2. When you see the Properties dialog box, click on the Environment Variables button as
shown below

Prof. Atul Kumar Shrivastava

Cse , Sirte
 3. When Environment Variables dialog shows up, click on the Path variable located in
the System Variables box and then click the Edit button.

4. When Edit dialog appears append the following text to the end of the Variable value
field:
c:\cygwin\bin; c:\cygwin\usr\bin

Note: If you installed cygwin in the non-standard location, correct the above value accordingly.

5. Close all three dialog boxes by pressing OK button of each dialog box.

Setup SSH daemon

Both Hadoop scripts and Eclipse plug-in need password-less SSH to operate. This section
describes how to set it up in the Cygwin environment.

Configure ssh daemon

6. Open the Cygwin command prompt.

7. Execute the following command: ssh-host config
8. When asked if privilege separation should be used, answer no.
9. When asked if sshd should be installed as a service, answer yes.
10. When asked about the value of CYGWIN environment variable, enter ntsec.
11. Here is an example session of this command. Note that the input typed by the user is
shown in pink and output from the system is shown in gray.

Prof. Atul Kumar Shrivastava

Cse , Sirte
Example of using ssh-host-config

Start SSH daemon

1. Find My Computer icon either on your desktop or in the start-up menu, right-click on it
and select Manage from the context menu.
2. Open Services and Applications in the left-hand panel then select the Services item.
3. Find the CYGWIN sshd item in the main section and right-click on it.
4. Select Start from the context menu.

Prof. Atul Kumar Shrivastava

Cse , Sirte
Start SSHD service
A small window should pop-up indicating the progress of the service start-up. After that window
disappears the status of CYGWIN sshd service should change to Started.

Setup authorization keys

Eclipse plug-in and Hadoop scripts require ssh authentication to be performed through
authorization keys rather than passwords. The following steps describe how authorization keys
are set up.
1. Open cygwin command prompt
2. Execute the following command to generate keys ssh-keygen
3. When prompted for filenames and pass phrases press ENTER to accept default values.
4. After the command has finished generating keys, enter the following command to change
into your
.ssh directory: cd ~/.ssh

5. Check if the keys were indeed generated by executing the following command: ls -l
You should see two files id_rsa.pub and id_rsa with recent creation dates. These files contain
authorization keys.

6. To register the new authorization keys enter the following command (note the sharply-
angled double brackets -- they are very important):
cat id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys

Setting up authorization keys

7. Now check if the keys were set up correctly by executing the following command:
ssh localhost
Since it is a new ssh installation, you will be warned that authenticity of the host could not be
established and will be asked whether you really want to connect. Answer yes and press
ENTER. You should see the Cygwin prompt again, which means that you have successfully
connected.

Prof. Atul Kumar Shrivastava

Cse , Sirte
8. Now execute the command again: ssh localhost
This time you should not be prompted for anything.

Download, Copy and Unpack Hadoop

The next step is to download and copy the Hadoop distribution.
1. Download hadoop 0.19.1 and place in some folder on your computer such as C:\Java.
2. Open Cygwin command prompt.
3. Execute the following command: cd
4. Execute the following command to enable your home directory folder to be shown in the
Windows Explorer:

5. Open another Explorer window and navigate to the folder that contains the downloaded
Hadoop archive.
6. Copy the Hadoop archive into your home directory folder.

Unpack Hadoop Installation

The next step is to unpack the downloaded and copied package
To unpack the package follow these steps:
1. Open a new Cygwin window.
2. After the new Cygwin window appears, execute the following command: tar -xzf hadoop-
[Link]

This will start unpacking the Hadoop distribution. After several minutes you should see a new
Cygwin prompt again as shown in the screenshot below:

Prof. Atul Kumar Shrivastava

Cse , Sirte
 3. When you see the new prompt, execute the following command:
ls -l
It will list the contents of your home directory. You should see a newly created directory
called hadoop-0.19.1
4. Next execute the following commands:
cd hadoop-0.19.1 ls –l
If you get output similar to the following, everything was unpacked correctly and you can go to
the next step.

Configure Hadoop
Now that Hadoop has been unpacked, we are ready to configure it.
1. Open a new Cygwin window and execute the following commands:
cd hadoop-0.19.1 cd conf

Bringing up explorer window

1. The last command will cause the Explorer window for the 'conf' directory to pop up.
Minimize it for now or move it to the side.

Prof. Atul Kumar Shrivastava

Cse , Sirte
2. Launch Eclipse.
3. Bring up the 'conf' Explorer window opened in Step 2 and drag the file hadoop-site to the
Eclipse main window.
4. Insert the following lines between <configuration> and </configuration> tags.
<property>

THEORY:

Deploying a New Application GAE

With Codenvy you can deploy Java, Python and PHP apps to Google App Engine.

• create a new project from scratch and choose either Java web application or Python and
Google App Engine as PaaS (if you have already created a project, then open it and go to
PaaS > Google App Engine > Create Application)
• enter project name and choose a Template
• check Use existing GAE ID if you want to overwrite an existing app
• click Create button
• if you deploy your first app to GAE from Codenvy you need to authenticate
• allow access to proceed
• enter required information at the GAE webpage (Application Title is optional)

Click to see a full sized image

8. once you click Create Application, the browser’s tab will be automatically closed in a
few seconds
9. when you are back to your Codenvy workspace, click Deploy to push the app to GAE

The process may take several minutes, and you will see a confirmation message in the Output
panel with the application url - [Link]

Prof. Atul Kumar Shrivastava

Cse , Sirte
Make sure you use the same Google ID to log in to Codenvy and Google App Engine. Using
different accounts may cause 401 or 404 errors. 401 error can be fixed by logging out, and then
logging in Google App Engine at PaaS > Google App Engine > Logout/Login

Watch the entire process of deploying an app to GAE in the below video

Updating an Existing Application GAE

Having deployed your application to GAE, you can make some changes to the code and easily
update it.

• The application is updated at Project > PaaS > Google App Engine
• The project is re-built and re-deployed once you press Application Update button. An
alternative way to update your GAE app is to go to PaaS > Google App Engine >
Update Application.

Three messages (project build, start and end of deployment) appear in the Output panel one by
on. Once done, changes are implemented in the application hosted on [Link].
Have a look at this short video demonstrating how you can update your GAE apps directly from
Codenvy:

Managing GAE Applications

You can manage your GAE application at Project >PaaS > Google App Engine.

It’s possible to modify and vacuum Indexes, PageSpeed, Queues, DoS as well as have a

Import an Existing GAE Application
If you have a GAE application which you need to import to Codenvy, here’s a workaround (this
is not a direct import of source code, so it will take a few minutes or so):
6. Download source code of your app (of course, this step can be omitted if you have in on
GitHub and sync it regularly). You can download source code of your Java and Python
apps using SDK command line (check out GAE documentation).
7. Push this code to GitHub or whatever remote repository you use
8. Clone your GitHub project to Codenvy
9. Open [Link] file and edit application ID, if necessary, for example
<application>javagae112</application> (enter the app ID you need to update on GAE)
10. if you want to create a new version of the same app, you can change
it as well, for example <version>2</version>
<appengine-web-app xmlns="[Link]
<application>java112</application>
<version>1</version>

2. update application at Project > PaaS > Google App Engine.

Once the app is updated, you can change and update it anytime directly from Codenvy. Since
Codenvy uses Maven as a build manager, the projects you clone should also be built with Maven,
i.e. contain [Link] file in the root project folder. You may have a look at this short video
demonstrating the procedure of importing an existing GAE app to Codenvy using GitHub.

Device Support
Codenvy currently supports all desktop and laptop devices. We currently provide touch device
support through the use of the Puffin Web Browser which virtualizes double clicks and right
clicks. We have not yet created a native touch UI design. Vote for this feature at our Uservoice

 Experiment No. 7

Objective: Working and installation of Microsoft Azure.

Requirement: Account on Microsoft Azure

THEORY:
Introduction:

In this article we are going to see how to create a new database stored procedure using the new
Azure portal instead of using the SQL Server Management Studio.

Overview:

Stored procedures are created normally using the SQL Serve management studio, with the
latest version of SQL Azure we have option to create a user stored procedure directly online
without need to have a local interface. This way we have some control of using it anywhere
anytime to do some updates regularly.

Let us see how to create the Stored procedure in Azure portal step by step.

Steps:

Log in to the Azure portal using the below link. You can see the screen look similar to below

[Link]

Login to the portal using your Microsoft Windows Live credentials with Azure credentials to the
management portal and you will see the screen as shown in the screen below

Prof. Atul Kumar Shrivastava

 Experiment No. 8
Objective: Working with Manjrasoft Aneka Software.
Requirement: ECMA Runtime Environment, Database
THEORY:
Aneka is a Cloud Application Development Platform (CAP) for developing and running compute
and data intensive applications. As a platform it provides users with both a runtime
environment for executing applications developed using any of the three supported
programming models, and a set APIs and tools that allow you to build new applications or
run existing legacy code. The purpose ofthis document is to help you through the process of
installing and setting up an Aneka Cloud environment. This document will cover everything from
helping you to understand your existing infrastructure, different deployment options, installing
the Management Studio, configuring Aneka Daemons and Containers, and finally running some
of the samples to test your environment.
An Aneka Cloud is composed of a collection of services deployed on top of an infrastructure.
This infrastructure can include both physical and virtual machines located in your local area
network or Data Centre. Aneka services are hosted on Aneka Containers which are managed by
Aneka Daemons. An Aneka Daemon is a background service that runs on a machine and helps
you to install, start, stop, update and reconfigure Containers.
A key component of the Aneka platform is the Aneka Management Studio, a portal for
managing your infrastructure and clouds. Administrators use the Aneka Management Studio
to define their infrastructure, deploy Aneka Daemons, and install and configure Aneka
Containers. The figure below shows a high-level representation of an Aneka Cloud, composed of
a Master Container that is responsible for scheduling jobs to Workers, and a group of Worker
Containers that execute the jobs. Each machine is typically configured with a single instance of
the Aneka Daemon and a single instance of the Aneka Container.

Installation
This section assumes that you have a copy of the Aneka distribution with you. If you do not have
a copy already, you can download the latest version from Manjrasoft’s Website.
Installing Aneka Cloud Management Studio
Aneka installation begins with installing Aneka Cloud Management Studio. The Cloud
Management Studio is your portal for creating, configuring and managing Aneka Clouds.
Installing Aneka using the distributed Microsoft Installer Package (MSI) is a quick process
involving three steps as described below.
Step 1 – Run the installer package to start the Setup Wizard

Prof. Atul Kumar Shrivastava

 Figure- Welcome Page
The Welcome Page is self-explanatory and you can proceed by clicking next.
Step 2 – Specifying the installation folder
In Step 2 you specify the installation folder. By default Aneka is installed in C:\Program Files\
Manjrasoft\Aneka.3.0.

Figure - Specifying the installation folder

Step 3 – Confirm and start the installation
At this point you are ready to begin the installation. Click “Next” to start the installation or
“Back” to change your installation folder.

Aneka Cloud Management Studio
The Aneka Cloud Management Studio is your portal for managing your infrastructure and clouds.
It provides facilities for defining your underlying cloud infrastructure and creating one or more
Aneka Clouds on top. It lets you create and manage Aneka user accounts, monitor the overall
performance of your Cloud, obtain detailed reporting information on resource usage, data
transfers, billing and application (job) execution. It also provides facilities for troubleshooting
your deployments by allowing you to access and examine remote logs.
Starting up Management Studio

Figure - Starting Aneka Cloud Management Studio for the first time.

When Aneka Cloud Management Studio is started up for the first time you’ll be asked to create a
Remote Repository for performing remote installations. Setting up a Remote Repository requires
selecting a suitable repository type and supplying valid credentials which remote machines can
use to connect and download required files. You may however choose to create this repository at
a late time before making remote installations. If no repository is defined, you will be restricted to
making local installations only.

Shutting down Aneka Management Studio
When attempting to shut down Aneka Management Studio, you will be given the choice of
saving all configuration data from the current session. It is highly recommended that you save
this information and restore it the next time you start using the Management Studio.
The Configuration File
The configuration file, [Link], contains all information that describes your
infrastructure, your Clouds, the machine credentials, repositories and authentication keys (see
section on installing the Master Container) that you defined when using Aneka Management
Studio. It is recommended that you save this information when you exit Management Studio so
that you can restore it at a later session, and get up-to-speed with your Cloud management
without having to redefine all settings again. Some configuration information, such as
authentication keys, must be maintained safely if you are to add new Containers to your existing
Cloud. Losing an authentication key however, is not detrimental as you will be able to
reconfigure your clouds with a new key.

Figure- Request to save configuration data when closing Management Studio

The configuration file is always encrypted before being written to disk for security reasons.
When saving configuration data you will be required to specify a password as show in Figure.

Figure - Password to encrypt configuration data

When starting up Aneka Management Studio at a later session, you will be given the choice of
restoring your configuration data. If you choose to do so, you must re-enter the same password
you used when saving.

 Viva Questions
Ques1: How does cloud computing provides on-demand functionality?
Ans: Cloud computing is a metaphor used for internet. It provides on-demand access to
virtualized IT resources that can be shared by others or subscribed by you. It provides an easy
way to provide configurable resources by taking it from a shared pool. The pool consists of
networks, servers, storage, applications and services.

Ques2: What is the difference between scalability and elasticity?

Ans: Scalability is a characteristic of cloud computing through which increasing workload can be
handled by increasing in proportion the amount of resource capacity. It allows the architecture to
provide on demand resources if the requirement is being raised by the traffic. Whereas, elasticity
is being one of the characteristic provide the concept of commissioning and decommissioning of
large amount of resource capacity dynamically. It is measured by the speed by which the
resources are coming on demand and the usage of the resources.

Ques3: What are the different layers of cloud computing?

Ans: Cloud computing consists of 3 layers in the hierarchy and these are as follows:
• Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provides cloud infrastructure in terms of hardware like
memory, processor speed etc.
• Platform as a Service (PaaS) provides cloud application platform for the developers.
• Software as a Service (SaaS) provides cloud applications which are used by the user directly
without installing anything on the system. The application remains on the cloud and it can be
saved and edited in there only.

Ques4: What resources are provided by infrastructure as a service?

Ans: Infrastructure as a Service provides physical and virtual resources that are used to build a
cloud. Infrastructure deals with the complexities of maintaining and deploying of the services
provided by this layer. The infrastructure here is the servers, storage and other hardware systems.

Ques5: How important is platform as a service?

Ans: Platform as a Service is an important layer in cloud architecture. It is built on the
infrastructure model, which provides resources like computers, storage and network. This layer
includes organizing and operate the resources provided by the below layer. It is also responsible
to provide complete virtualization of the infrastructure layer to make it look like a single server
and keep it hidden from the outside world.

Ques6: What does software as a service provide?

Ans: Software as Service is another layer of cloud computing, which provides cloud applications
like Google is doing, it is providing Google docs for the user to save their documents on the
cloud and create as well. It provides the applications to be created on fly without adding or
installing any extra software component. It provides built in software to create wide varieties of
applications and documents and share it with other people online.

Ques7: What are the different deployment models?

Ans: Cloud computing supports many deployment models and they are as follows:
- Private Cloud
Organizations choose to build their private cloud as to keep the strategic, operation and other
reasons to themselves and they feel more secure to do it. It is a complete platform which is fully
Prof. Atul Kumar Shrivastava
Cse , Sirte
functional and can be owned, operated and restricted to only an organization or an industry. More
organizations have moved to private clouds due to security concerns. Virtual private cloud is
being used that operate by a hosting company.
- Public Cloud
These are the platforms which are public means open to the people for use and deployment. For
example, Google, Amazon etc. They focus on a few layers like cloud application, infrastructure
providing and providing platform markets.
- Hybrid Clouds
It is the combination of public and private cloud. It is the most robust approach to implement
cloud architecture as it includes the functionalities and features of both the worlds. It allows
organizations to create their own cloud and allow them to give the control over to someone else
as well.

Ques8: What are the different datacenters deployed for this?

Ans: Cloud computing is made up of various datacenters put together in a grid form. It
consists of different datacenters like:
- Containerized Datacenters
These are the traditional datacenters that allow high level of customization with servers,
mainframe and other resources. It requires planning, cooling, networking and power to access
and work.
- Low-Density Datacenters
These datacenters are optimized to give high performance. In these datacenters the space
constraint is being removed and there is an increased density. It has a drawback that with high
density the heat issue also creeps in. These datacenters are very much suitable to develop the
cloud infrastructure.

Ques9: What are the different modes of software as a service?

Ans: Software as a Service provides cloud application platform on which user can create
application with the tools provided. The modes of software as a service is defined as:
• Simple multi-tenancy: in this each user has its own resources that are different from other
users. It is an inefficient mode where the user has to put more time and money to add more
infrastructure if the demand rises in less time to deliver.
• Fine grain multi-tenancy: in this the functionality remains the same that the resources can
be shared too many. But it is more efficient as the resources are shared not the data and
permission within an application.

Ques10: What is the security aspects provided with cloud?

Ans: Security is one of the major aspects which come with any application and service used
by the user. Companies or organizations remain much more concerned with the security
provided with the cloud. There are many levels of security which has to be provided within
cloud environment such as:
•Identity management: it authorizes the application service or hardware component to be used
by authorized users.
•Access control: permissions has to be provided to the users so that they can control the access
of other users who are entering the in the cloud environment.
•Authorization and authentication: provision should be made to allow the authorized and
authenticated people only to access and change the applications and data.

Ques11: What is the difference between traditional datacenters and cloud?

Ans: Cloud computing uses the concept of datacenter as it is the datacenter is based on the
tradition one so the difference between them are as follows:
Prof. Atul Kumar Shrivastava
Cse , Sirte
10. Cost of the traditional datacenter is higher, due to heating issues and other
hardware/software related issues but this is not the case with the cloud computing
infrastructure.
11. It gets scaled when the demand increases. Most of the cost is being spent on the
maintenance being performed on the datacenters, whereas cloud platform requires minimum
maintenance and not very expert hand to handle them.

Ques12: What are the three cost factors involves in cloud data center?
Ans: Cloud data center doesn't require experts to operate it, but it requires skilled people to see
the maintenance, maintain the workloads and to keep the track of the traffic. The labor cost is 6%
of the total cost to operate the cloud data center. Power distribution and cooling of the datacenter
cost 20% of the total cost. Computing cost is at the end and is the highest as it is where lots of
resources and installation has to be done. It costs the maximum left percentage.

Ques13: How the cloud services are measured?

Ans: Cloud computing provides the services to the organizations so they can run their
applications and install them on the cloud. Virtualization is used to deploy the cloud computing
models as it provides a hidden layer between the user and the physical layer of the system. The
cloud services are measured in terms of use. Pay as much as you use that can be on the basis of
hours or months or years. Cloud services allow users to pay for only what they use and according
to the demand the charges or the prices gets increased.

Ques14: What are the optimizing strategies used in cloud?

Ans: To optimize the cost and other resources there is a concept of three-data-center which
provides backups in cases of disaster recovery and allows you to keep all the data intact in the
case of any failure within the system. System management can be done more efficiently by
carrying out pre-emptive tasks on the services and the processes which are running for the job.
Security can be more advanced to allow only the limited users to access the services

Ques15: What are different data types used in cloud computing?

Ans: Cloud computing is going all together for a different look as it now includes different data
types like emails, contracts, images, blogs, etc. The amount of data increasing day by day and
cloud computing is requiring new and efficient data types to store them. For example if you want
to save video then you need a data type to save that. Latency requirements are increasing as the
demand is increasing. Companies are going for lower latency for many applications.

Ques16: What are the security laws which take care of the data in the cloud?
Ans: The security laws which are implements to secure data in the cloud are as follows: Input
validation: controls the input data which is being to any system. Processing: control that the data
is being processed correctly and completely in an application. File: control the data being
manipulated in any type of file. Output reconciliation: control the data that has to be reconciled
from input to output. Backup and recovery: control the security breaches logs and the problems
which has occurred while creating the back.

Ques17: How to secure your data for transport in cloud?

Ans: Cloud computing provides very good and easy to use feature to an organization, but at the
same time it brings lots of question that how secure is the data, which has to be transported from
one place to another in cloud. So, to make sure it remains secure when it moves from point A to
point B in cloud, check that there is no data leak with the encryption key implemented with the
data you sending.
Prof. Atul Kumar Shrivastava
Cse , Sirte
Ques18: What do you understand from VPN?
Ans: VPN stands for virtual private network; it is a private cloud which manages the security of
the data during the transport in the cloud environment. VPN allows an organization to make a
public network as private network and use it to transfer files and other resources on a network.

Ques19: What does a VPN consists of?

Ans: VPN is known as virtual private network and it consists of two important things: 1.
Firewall: it acts as a barrier between the public network and any private network. It filters the
messages that are getting exchanged between the networks. It also protects from any malicious
activity being done on the network. 2. Encryption: it is used to protect the sensitive data from
professional hackers and other spammers who are usually remain active to get the data. With a
message always there will be a key with which you can match the key provided to you.
Ques20: Name few platforms which are used for large scale cloud computing.
Ans: There are many platforms available for cloud computing but to model the large scale
distributed computing the platforms are as follows:
• Map Reduce: is software that is being built by Google to support distributed computing. It is a
framework that works on large set of data. It utilizes the cloud resources and distributes the data
to several other computers known as clusters. It has the capability to deal with both structured
and non-structured data.
• Apache Hadoop: is an open source distributed computing platform. It is being written in Java.
It creates a pool of computer each with hadoop file system. It then clusters the data elements and
applies the hash algorithms that are similar. Then it creates copy of the files that already exist.

Ques21: What are some examples of large cloud providers and their databases?
Ans: Cloud computing has many providers and it is supported on the large scale. The providers
with their databases are as follows: - Google big table: it is a hybrid cloud that consists of a big
table that is spilt into tables and rows. Map Reduce is used for modifying and generating the data.
- Amazon SimpleDB: is a web service that is used for indexing and querying the data. It allows
the storing, processing and creating query on the data set within the cloud platform. It has a
system that automatically indexes the data. - Cloud based SQL: is introduced by Microsoft and
it is based on SQL database. it provides data storage by the usage of relational model in the cloud.
The data can be accessed from the cloud using the client application.

Ques22: What are some open source cloud computing platform databases?
Ans: Cloud computing platform has various databases that are in support. The open source
databases that are developed to support it is as follows:
11. MongoDB: is an open source database system which is schema free and document
oriented database. It is written in C++ and provides tables and high storage space.
12. CouchDB: is an open source database system based on Apache server and used to store
the data efficiently
13. LucidDB: is the database made in Java/C++ for data warehousing. It provides features
and functionalities to maintain data warehouse.

 4. Cod envy
5. Cloud9
6. I9
Ques24: What essential things a user should know before going for cloud computing
platform? Ans: A user should know some parameters by which he can go for the cloud
computing services. The parameters are as follows:
3. User should know the data integrity in cloud computing: It is a measure to ensure integrity
like the data is accurate, complete and reasonable.
4. Compliance: user should make sure that proper rules and regulations are followed while
implementing the structure.
5. Loss of data: user should know about the provisions that are provided in case of loss of data
so that backup and recovery can be possible.
6. Business continuity plans: user should think about does the cloud services provide him
uninterrupted data resources.
7. Uptime: user should know about the uptime the cloud computing platform provides and how
helpful it is for the business.
8. Data storage costs: user should find out about the cost which you have to pay before you go
for cloud computing.

Ques25: What are system integrators?

Ans: Systems integrators are the important part of cloud computing platform. It provides the
strategy of the complicated process used to design a cloud platform. It includes well defined
architecture to find the resources and the characteristics which have to be included for cloud
computing. Integrators plan the users cloud strategy implementation. Integrators have knowledge
about data center creation and also allow more accurate private and hybrid cloud creation.

Ques26: What is the requirement of virtualization platforms in implementing cloud?

Ans: Virtualization is the basis of the cloud computing and there are many platforms that are
available like VMware is a technology that provides the provision to create private cloud and
provide a bridge to connect external cloud with private cloud. There are three key features that
have to be identified to make a private cloud that is:
•Cloud operating system.
•Manage the Service level policies
•Virtualization keeps the user level and the backend level concepts different from each other so
that a seamless environment can be created between both.

Ques27: What is the use of eucalyptus in cloud computing environment?

Ans: Eucalyptus stands for Elastic Utility Computing Architecture for Linking Your Programs to
Useful Systems and provides an open source software infrastructure to implement clusters in
cloud computing platform. It is used to build private, public and hybrid clouds. It can also
produce your own datacenter into a private cloud and allow you to extend the functionality to
many other organizations. Eucalyptus provides APIs to be used with the web services to cope up
with the demand of resources used in the private clouds.

Ques28: Explain different layers which define cloud architecture?

Ans: Cloud computing architecture consists of many layers which help it to be more organized
and can be managed from one place. The layers are as follows:
6. Cloud controller or CLC is the top most level in the hierarchy which is used to manage the
virtualized resources like servers, network and storage with the user APIs.

Prof. Atul Kumar Shrivastava

Cse , Sirte
7. Walrus is used for the storage and act as a storage controller to manage the demands of the
users. It maintains a scalable approach to control the virtual machine images and user data.
8. Cluster Controller or CC is used to control all the virtual machines for executions the virtual
machines are stored on the nodes and manages the virtual networking between Virtual machines
and external users.
9. Storage Controller or SC provides a storage area in block form that are dynamically attached
by Virtual machines.
10. Node Controller or NC is at the lowest level and provides the functionality of a
hypervisor that controls the VMs activities, which includes execution, management and
termination of many instances.

Ques29: How user will gain from utility computing?

Ans: Utility computing allow the user to pay per use means whatever they are using only for that
they have to pay. It is a plug in that needs to be managed by the organizations on deciding what
type of services has to be deployed from the cloud. Utility computing allows the user to think and
implement the services according to them. Most organizations go for hybrid strategy that
combines internal delivered services that are hosted or outsourced services.

Ques30: Is there any difference in cloud computing and computing for mobiles?
Ans: Mobile cloud computing uses the same concept but it just adds a device of mobile. Cloud
computing comes in action when a task or a data get kept on the internet rather then individual
devices. It provides users on demand access to the data which they have to retrieve. Applications
run on the remote server, and then given to the user to be able to, store and manage it from the
mobile platform.

Ques31: What do you understand by Map Reduce?

Ans: Map Reduce is a software framework that was created by Google. It`s prime focus was to
aid in distributed computing, specifically large sets of data on a group of many computers. The
frameworks took its inspiration from the map and reduce functions from functional programming.

Ques32: Explain how map reduce works?

Ans: The processing can occur on data which are in a file system (unstructured) or in a database
(structured). The map reduce framework primarily works on two steps:
• Map step: During this step the master node accepts an input (problem) and splits it into
smaller problems. Now the node distributes the small sub problems to the worker node so that
they can solve the problem.
• Reduce step: Once the sub problem is solved by the worker node, the node returns a solution
to the master node which accepts all the solutions of the worker node and re-compiles them into
a solution. This solution is for the input that was provided to the master node.

Ques33: What is an input reader in reference to map reduce?

Ans: The input reader as the name suggests primarily has two functions:
• Reading the Input
• Splitting it into sub-parts
The input reader accepts a user entered problem and then it divides/splits the problem into parts
which then each are assigned a map function. Also an input reader will always read data from a
stable storage source only to avoid problems.

Ques34: How is map reduce related to cloud computing?

Ans: The map reduce framework contains most of the key architecture principles of cloud
computing such as:
Prof. Atul Kumar Shrivastava
Cse , Sirte
•Scale: The framework is able to expand itself in direct proportion to the number of machines
available.
•Reliable: The framework is able to compensate for a lost node and restart the task on a different
node.
•Affordable: A user can start small and over time can add more hardware.
Due to the above features the map reduce framework has become the platform of choice for the
development of cloud applications.

Ques35: How does fault tolerance work in map reduce?

Ans: In a map reduce job the master pings each worker periodically. In case a worker does not
respond to that system then the system is marked as failed. Even completed tasks are rescheduled
because the output was stored in a in a local disk of a worker which failed. Hence map reduce is
able to handle large-scale failures easily by simply restarting a task. The master node always
saves itself at checkpoints and in case of any failure it simply restarts from that checkpoint.
Ques36: What is Hypervisor in Cloud Computing and its types?
Ans: The hypervisor is a virtual machine monitor (VMM) that manages resources for virtual
machines. The name hypervisor is suggested as it is a supervisory tool for the virtual machines.
There are mainly two types of hypervisors :
-> Type-1: the guest Vm runs directly over the host hardware, e.g. Xen, Hyper-V,
VMware ESXi -> Type-2: the guest Vm runs over hardware through a host OS, e.g.
Kvm, Oracle virtual box
Ques37: Are Type-1 Hypervisors better in performance than Type-2 Hypervisors and
Why?
Ans: Yes the Type-1 Hypervisors are better in performance as compared to Type-2 hypervisors
because Type-1 hypervisors does not run through a host OS, they utilize all resources directly
from Host hardware. In cloud implementation Type-1 hypervisors are used rather than Type-2
because Cloud servers need to run multiple OS images and it should be noted that if OS images
are run on host a OS as in case of Type-2, the resources will get wasted.
Ques38: What is the function of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud?
Ans: Amazon Elastic compute cloud is also known as Amazon EC2 is an Amazon web service
that provides scalable resources and makes the computing easier for developers. The main
functions of Amazon EC2 are:
•It provides easy configurable options and allow user to configure the capacity.
•It provides the complete control of computing resources and let the user run the computing
environment according to his requirements.
•It provides a fast way to run the instances and quickly book the system hence reducing the
overall time.
•It provides scalability to the resources and changes its environment according to the requirement
of the user.
•It provides varieties of tools to the developers to build failure resilient applications.
Ques39: What are the advantages of cloud architecture?
Ans: Cloud architecture uses simple APIs to provide easily accessible services to the user
through the internet medium. It provides scale on demand feature to increase the industrial
strength. It provides the transparency between the machines so that users don't have to worry
about their data. Users can just perform the functionality without even knowing the complex
logics implemented in cloud architecture. It provides highest optimization and utilization in the
cloud platform
Ques40: What are the different components required by cloud architecture?
Ans: There are 5 major components of cloud architecture.

1. Cloud Ingress:
Provides a mean to communicate with the outside world. This can be done with the help of
communication methods such as:
•Queue based communications
•HTTP communications
•REST/SOAP
•Service Bus
2. Processor Speed:
Processor speed is the major section on which the whole cloud architecture is based. It
provides on demand resources that can be dynamically allocated to the user. It saves lots of
cost and has many benefits of virtualization.
3. Cloud storage services:
Cloud services provide means to store data to user's applications. It is used to provide services
for different types of storages like: table data, files.
4. Cloud provided services:
Additional services are provided by the cloud, like data services, payment processing services,
and search or web functionality services.
5. Intra-Cloud communications:
it provides a way to communicate with other systems that are using cloud architecture.
Providers usually provide services so that one user can communicate easily with another
user by being on cloud.
Ques41: What is the relationship between SOA and cloud architecture?
Ans: Service oriented architecture (SOA) is an architectural style that supports service oriented
methodology that is being added in the cloud architecture as a mandatory component. Cloud
architecture support the use of on-demand access to resources and it provides lots of other
facilities that are being found in SOA as well.
SOA makes these requirements optional to use. But, to get the full functionality and more
performance based efficiency there is a requirement for the mixture of SOA and cloud
architecture.
Ques42: What does private cloud offer in building an infrastructure?
Ans: Private cloud offers complete set of development tools and easy to configure panel
where you can customize and deploy prototype applications.
1It keeps the private sensitive application separate and hidden from the world.
2It provides the provision to create high performance applications and include the concept of
elasticity.
3It uses a firewall and keeps all the resources in a pool that separates them with other resources
that are made public.
Ques43: What is cloud computing?
Ans: The cloud computing is the computing which is completely based on the Internet. It can
also be defined as the next stage in the evolution of the Internet. The cloud computing uses the
cloud (Internet) that provides the way to deliver the services whenever and wherever the user of
the cloud needs. Companies use the cloud computing to fulfill the needs of their customers,
partners, and providers. The cloud computing includes vendors, partners, and business leaders as
the three major contributors. The vendors are the one who provide applications and their related
technology, infrastructure, hardware, and integration. The partners are those who offer cloud
services demand and provide support service to the customers. The business leaders are the ones
who use or evaluate the cloud service provided by the partners.
Ques44: What is a cloud?
Ans: A cloud is a combination of hardware, networks, storage, services, and interfaces that helps

in delivering computing as a service. It has broadly three users which are end user, business
management user, and cloud service provider. The end user is the one who uses the services
provided by the cloud. The business management user in the cloud takes the responsibility of the
data and the services provided by the cloud. The cloud service provider is the one who takes care
or is responsible for the maintenance of the IT assets of the cloud. The cloud acts as a common
center for its users to fulfill their computing needs.
Ques45: What are the basic characteristics of cloud computing?
Ans: The four basic characteristics of cloud computing are given as follows:
2.1 Elasticity and scalability.
2.2 Self-service provisioning and automatic de-provisioning.
2.3 Standardized interfaces.
2.4 Billing self-service based usage model.
Ques46: How many types of deployment models are used in cloud?
Ans: There are 4 types of deployment models used in cloud:
0.4.12 Public cloud
0.4.13 Private cloud
0.4.14 Community cloud
0.4.15 Hybrid cloud
Ques47: Which services are provided by Window Azure operating system?
Ans: Windows Azure provides three core services which are given as follows:
f Compute
g Storage
h Management

Ques48: What are the advantages of cloud services?

Ans: Some of the advantages of cloud service are given as follows:
i Helps in the utilization of investment in the corporate sector; and therefore, is cost saving.
j Helps in the developing scalable and robust applications. Previously, the scaling took
months, but now, scaling takes less time.
k Helps in saving time in terms of deployment and maintenance.

Ques49: What is Web Service?

Ans: Web Services can convert your applications into [Link] Services are
published, found, and used through the [Link] basic Web services platform is XML + HTTP.
XML provides a language which can be used between different platforms and programming
languages and still express complex messages and functions.
The HTTP protocol is the most used Internet protocol.
Web services platform elements:
• SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol)
• UDDI (Universal Description, Discovery and Integration)
• WSDL (Web Services Description Language)
Ques50: What is UDDI?
Anss: UDDI is an XML-based standard for describing, publishing, and finding Web services.
 UDDI stands for Universal Description, Discovery and Integration.
 UDDI is a specification for a distributed registry of Web services.
 UDDI is platform independent, open framework.
 UDDI can communicate via SOAP, CORBA, Java RMI Protocol.
 UDDI uses WSDL to describe interfaces to web services.

  UDDI is seen with SOAP and WSDL as one of the three foundation standards of web
services.
 UDDI is an open industry initiative enabling businesses to discover each other and define
how they interact over the Internet.
UDDI has two parts:
 A registry of all a web service's metadata including a pointer to the WSDL description of a
service
 A set of WSDL port type definitions for manipulating and searching that registry
