    The document discusses cloud applications, defining them as programs that run on remote servers and provide services to users over the internet. Cloud apps incorporate advantages of both web and desktop apps by not needing to reside on local devices but allowing for offline use and rich experiences. Key features include data storage in the cloud, offline caching, customization for different users, and access via browsers or mobile apps. Cloud apps are classified into service, high-scale, and distributed applications depending on their architecture and how they consume services. Examples of cloud apps include G Suite, Salesforce, and Amazon Web Services.

    CLOUD

    APPLICATIONS

    WHAT IS AN APP?
    Its another word for a program.
    It usually refers to a program that runs on a phone
    or tablet but it can run locally, either as a program
    installed on a computer or device, or it can run in a
    browser using a scripting language like JavaScript,
    or it can run on a remote Web server.
    When a program has been built to run on a web
    server, its usually called SaaS, or software as a
    service.

    INTRODUCTION
    To start, we need to define a framework for how to
    think about the definition of cloud application. If
    presented with an arbitrary application, what criteria
    would we apply to determine whether that app is a
    cloud application or some other class of application?
    Would the list look something like this?
    How its built
    How its used
    Where its hosted
    Some other attribute

    CLOUD APPLICATION
    DEFINITION
    Cloud applications evolve from web apps.
    Cloud apps incorporate the advantages of both Web
    and desktop apps without absorbing many of their
    drawbacks.
    Like web apps, cloud apps need not permanently
    reside on the local device, but they can be easily
    updatedonline.
    Similar to desktop apps, cloud apps can provide
    offline mode, rich user experience and instant
    responses to user actions.

    FEATURES OF CLOUD
    APPLICATIONS
    Data is stored in a cloud / cloud-like infrastructure
    Data can be cached locally for full-offline mode
    Support for different user requirements, e.g., data
    backup cloud app with different features such as data
    compression, security, backup schedule
    Can be used from web browser and/or custom built
    apps installed on Internet connected devices such as
    desktops, mobile phones
    Can be used to access a wider range of services such
    as on-demand computing cycle, storage, application
    development platforms

    CLOUD APPLICATION
    HIERARCHY

    Essentially, all cloud applications must be Service


    Consumable that is, they can be accessed as a
    service.
    Additionally, a cloud application must have at least
    unit tenancy where it can provide segregation
    between individual end users.
    Once these base qualities are met, cloud
    applications can then mix any of the 3 sub-types for
    a composite architecture that defines that cloud
    applications total architectural foundation.
    The 3 sub-types are best understood as follows:

    SERVICE APPLICATIONS

    Applications whose architecture up-level the service


    consumption model away from individual end users
    and into an architecture that groups users together
    and can segregate data and execution among groups,
    but share that data and execution within a group.

    HIGH SCALE APPLICATIONS

    Applications whose architectures focus on


    achieving extreme levels of scale, needing to
    support high levels of concurrent access without
    compromise. Architectures rely on shared nothing
    models, data sharding, etc. to achieve this.

    DISTRIBUTED APPLICATIONS
    Applications that typical deal with large amounts of
    data or complex analytic requests that require
    parallel computation or divide and conquer models.
    In these architectures, multiple agents in a
    distributed topology coordinate and act against a
    common problem to derive a solution.

    EXAMPLES OF CLOUD
    APPLICATION
    SaaS Examples:Google Apps, Salesforce,
    Workday, Concur, Citrix GoToMeeting, Cisco
    WebEx
    IaaS Examples:Amazon Web Services (AWS),
    Cisco Metapod, Microsoft Azure, Google Compute
    Engine (GCE),
    SaaS Examples: Google App Engine, SalesForce
    VMforce, and Joyent Accelerator.

    DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CLOUD


    APPAND WEB APP
    CLOUD APP

    WEB APP

    Data is stored in a cloud /


    cloud-like infrastructure.

    Web apps on the other hand


    are almost exclusively
    designed to be used from a
    web browser.

    All cloud applications are web


    applications

    Not all web applications are


    cloud applications.

    Inherently Scalable

    Limited by scalability

    Very high Uptime

    Limited by availability

    User Data & Business Process


    store in a multiple replicated
    data centre's

    User Data & Business Process


    store in single data center

    Multi-tenancy

    Isolated -tenancy
