Cloud Computing Infrastructure

Cloud infrastructure consists of servers, storage devices, network, cloud management software,
deployment software, and platform virtualization.

Hypervisor

Hypervisor is a firmware or low-level program that acts as a Virtual Machine Manager. It allows to
share the single physical instance of cloud resources between several tenants.

Management Software

It helps to maintain and configure the infrastructure.

Deployment Software

It helps to deploy and integrate the application on the cloud.

Network

It is the key component of cloud infrastructure. It allows to connect cloud services over the Internet. It is
also possible to deliver network as a utility over the Internet, which means, the customer can customize
the network route and protocol.

Server

The server helps to compute the resource sharing and offers other services such as resource allocation
and de-allocation, monitoring the resources, providing security etc.

Storage

Cloud keeps multiple replicas of storage. If one of the storage resources fails, then it can be extracted
from another one, which makes cloud computing more reliable.

Infrastructural Constraints
Fundamental constraints that cloud infrastructure should implement are shown in the following diagram:

Transparency

Virtualization is the key to share resources in cloud environment. But it is not possible to satisfy the
demand with single resource or server. Therefore, there must be transparency in resources, load
balancing and application, so that we can scale them on demand.

Scalability

Scaling up an application delivery solution is not that easy as scaling up an application because it involves
configuration overhead or even re-architecting the network. So, application delivery solution is need to be
scalable which will require the virtual infrastructure such that resource can be provisioned and de-
provisioned easily.

Intelligent Monitoring

To achieve transparency and scalability, application solution delivery will need to be capable of intelligent
monitoring.

Security

The mega data center in the cloud should be securely architected. Also the control node, an entry point in
mega data center, also needs to be secure.
