Cloud Computing presentation given by myself and three others during a workshop, The Business Cloud Workshop:
A Roadmap to The What, Why and How,
at a Cloud Computing conference, The Business of Cloud Computing 2012 held on May 21-22 in Dallas, TX.
This document discusses how to build an open source cloud using tools like OpenStack. It recommends a three step process: 1) Build a resource pool with virtualization and automation tools. 2) Automate across domains like networking, storage, and service management. 3) Integrate service management by automating provisioning, configuration, monitoring, and deprovisioning. It provides examples of tools that can be used at each step like OpenStack, Chef, Puppet, Nagios, and RunDeck. It also discusses how to set up billing and a services catalog to offer resources via a portal. The overall goal is to build a scalable, automated open source cloud using commodity hardware.

Cloud computing involves delivering computing resources over a network, typically the Internet. It dates back to the 1950s but demand increased due to the need to make things easier and save on costs. By 2020, the cloud computing market is forecast to exceed $241 billion. There are three main deployment models - public cloud (external cloud), private cloud (internal cloud), and hybrid cloud (combination of both). The three main service models are Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). While cloud computing provides benefits like flexibility, cost savings, and scalability, there are also potential risks regarding security, ownership of data, and dependence on major providers.

14. Defining Cloud Computing
• “A style of computing in which scalable and elastic IT-enabled capabilities
are delivered as a service using Internet technologies” –
• “Cloud computing is the use of computing resources (hardware and
software) that are delivered as a service over a network” –
• “A pay per use model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand
network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources
(e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be
rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or
service provider interaction” – NIST
• “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 - McKinsey
