Agenda• Cloud Computing and Google Cloud

Platform• Google Compute Engine and the Cloud

Platform• Beyond GCE (Google Compute Engine)

Cloud Service LevelsIaaS: Infrastructure as a ServicePaaS: Platform as a ServiceSaaS: Software as a Service SaaS

PaaS

IaaS

Infrastructure as a Service• Simplest form: leasing a physical or virtual

server box: RackSpace, SoftLayer• Includes

• Hardware: servers, network, routers, load balancers,…

• Software: operating systems, databases (storage), application servers

Infrastructure as a ServiceAmazon AWS (Amazon Web Services) (+ S3 (Simple Storage Service) + EC2 (Elastic Cloud Compute))Microsoft Azure: VM RoleGoogle: Google Compute Engine (GCE)*

Platform as a Service• The provider takes care some higher level

functions in the service stack• Instead of getting servers, you get an

application framework• Less control over the lower level service

elements, but the abstraction should result in less hassle and more focus on the goal

Platform as a Service• Google: Google App Engine (GAE)*• Azure Web Role, Worker Role, Reporting

Services, etc.

Software as a Service• Software deployed on the internet• Designed for end-users• Delivered through the web• The back-end automatically scales, fault-

tolerant persistence

Software as a Service• Usually API (Application Programming

Interface) is available for usage or feature extension

• Example• Gmail, Google Docs, Google Spreadsheet• Office 365

Control + Cost Efficiency + Savings

Google Compute Engine

Google Compute Engine• IaaS level*• Minute-by-minute billing (10 minutes minimum)• Variety of virtual hardware selections (CPU

config and mem size)• Standard or custom VM images• Can be accessed through command line and

RESTful API

GCE Demo• Exploring Google Cloud developer console,

creating a VM• Starting steps for hosting a website

(installing Apache, etc.)

GCE Demo• Spinning up a Hadoop cluster

Hadoop• Hadoop is an open-source software

framework that supports data-intensive distributed applications

• A Hadooop cluster is composed of a single master node and multiple worker nodes

HadoopHas two main services:1. Storing large amounts of data: HDFS, Hadoop

Distributed File System2. Processing large amounts of data:

implementation of the MapReduce programming model
