Cloud Services and Models


IaaS infrastructure as a service

pic

  • share compute resources with others by virtualizing the hardware.
  • Each Virtual Machine has its own instance of an operating system
  • and you build and run applications on it with access to memory, file systems, networking interfaces, and the other attributes that physical computers also have.

  • But flexibility comes with a cost
    • the smallest unit of compute is a Virtual Machine together with its application
    • The guest operating system maybe large, even gigabytes
    • It can take minutes to boot up.
    • Virtual Machine

      • highly configurable
      • can install and run the tools of choice.
      • can configure the underlying system resources
        • such as disks and networking,
      • can install the own web server database or a middle ware.
    • But the application demand increases,
      • have to scale out in units of an entire Virtual Machine with a guest operating system for each.
      • the resource consumption grows faster

PaaS Platform as a Service

pic

  • like App Engine
    • Instead of getting a blank Virtual Machine, get access to a family of services that applications need.
    • write the code and self-contained workloads that use these services and include any dependent libraries.
  • As demand for the application increases
    • the platform scales the applications seamlessly and independently by workload and infrastructure.
    • scales rapidly
    • but you give up control of the underlying server architecture.
