Seminar : Building clouds with Eucalyptus


Abstract :
Cloud computing is becoming a well-known buzzword nowadays. It describes a new supplement, consumption and delivery model for IT services based on Internet, and typically involves the provision of dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources as a service over the Internet. Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo Securities, Gartner and other prominent observers of the technology industry predict that cloud computing is the most significant IT shift of this decade.
EUCALYPTUS – Elastic Utility Computing Architecture Linking Your Programs To Useful System enables hybrid cloud and private cloud deployments for enterprise data centers and requires no special purpose hardware or reconfiguration. Leveraging Linux and web service technologies that commonly exist in today's IT infrastructure, Eucalyptus allows customers quickly and easily to create computing clouds “on premise” that are tailored to their specific application needs. At the same time, Eucalyptus supports the popular AWS cloud interface allowing these on-premise clouds to interact with public clouds using a common programming interface. Along with managing virtual machines, the technology supports secure virtualization of the network as well as the storage infrastructure within the cloud environment.
Through this seminar, EUCALYPTUS is presented as an open source software framework for cloud computing that implements what is commonly referred to as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS); systems that give users the ability to run and control entire virtual machine instances deployed across a variety physical resources. This also outlines the basic principles of the EUCALYPTUS design, detail important operational aspects of the system, and discuss architectural trade-offs that allows Eucalyptus to be portable, modular and simpler to use on infrastructure commonly found within academic settings
