Unit VI - Advanced Techniques in Cloud Computing

Overview

This unit explores advanced topics and emerging trends in cloud computing. It covers mobile cloud, multimedia cloud, energy-aware cloud computing, and the convergence of IoT and cloud computing.

Topics

  1. Future Trends in Cloud ComputingFuture Trends in Cloud ComputingFuture Trends in Cloud Computing Definition Cloud computing refers to the delivery of computing services, including storage, processing, networking, software, and analytics, over the internet (the cloud). These services enable flexible resources, faster innovation, and economies of scale. Key Concepts Edge Computing** Serverless Computing** Quantum Computing** AI and Machine Learning Integration** Multi-cloud and Hybrid Cloud Strategies** Cloud-native Applications** IoT (Internet of Things)
  2. Mobile CloudMobile CloudMobile Cloud Definition Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) refers to an infrastructure where both data storage and data processing happen outside of the mobile device, typically on a cloud server. It combines mobile computing and cloud computing to enable rich mobile applications and services. Key Concepts Mobile Backend as a Service (MBaaS)** Mobile Edge Computing (MEC)** Mobile Virtualization** Mobile Cloud Architecture** Data Synchronization** Context-aware Services** Security and Privacy** De
  3. Automatic Cloud Computing - Comet CloudAutomatic Cloud Computing - Comet CloudAutomatic Cloud Computing - Comet Cloud Definition CometCloud is an autonomic computing engine that provides a cloud computing platform for the dynamic and on-demand management of resources. It integrates autonomic computing, cloud computing, and grid computing to provide a flexible, self-managing environment for the deployment and execution of applications. Key Concepts Autonomic Computing** Elasticity and Scalability** Workflow Management** Dynamic Resource Provisioning** Federated Clouds*
  4. Multimedia Cloud - IPTV, Energy Aware Cloud Computing, Jungle ComputingMultimedia Cloud - IPTV, Energy Aware Cloud Computing, Jungle ComputingMultimedia Cloud - IPTV, Energy Aware Cloud Computing, and Jungle Computing Definition Multimedia Cloud refers to a cloud computing framework that supports the storage, processing, and delivery of multimedia content such as video, audio, and interactive applications. It leverages cloud resources to provide scalable and efficient services. Specific applications in this domain include IPTV (Internet Protocol Television), Energy Aware Cloud Computing, and Jungle Computing. Key Concepts IPTV (In
  5. Distributed Cloud Computing vs. Edge ComputingDistributed Cloud Computing vs. Edge ComputingDistributed Cloud Computing vs. Edge Computing Definition Distributed Cloud Computing: A cloud computing model where computational resources and services are distributed across multiple locations and managed from a central point. It extends cloud capabilities closer to the end-user while maintaining centralized control. Edge Computing: A decentralized computing model that brings computation and data storage closer to the sources of data. It aims to reduce latency and bandwidth use by processi
  6. Containers, Docker, KubernetesContainers, Docker, KubernetesContainers, Docker, and Kubernetes Definition Containers: Containers are lightweight, standalone, executable software packages that include everything needed to run a piece of software, including the code, runtime, libraries, and system tools. Containers provide a *consistent* computing environment that can run uniformly across different environments, from development to production. Docker: Docker is a platform that uses OS-level virtualization to deliver software in packages called container
  7. Introduction to DevOpsIntroduction to DevOpsIntroduction to DevOps Definition DevOps: DevOps is a set of practices that combines software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops). It aims to shorten the development lifecycle and deliver high-quality software continuously by fostering a culture of collaboration between development and operations teams. Key Concepts Continuous Integration (CI)** Continuous Deployment (CD)** Automation** Infrastructure as Code (IaC)** Monitoring and Logging** Collaboration and Communication** Microservi
  8. IoT and Cloud ConvergenceIoT and Cloud ConvergenceIoT and Cloud Convergence Definition IoT (Internet of Things): IoT refers to a network of interconnected physical devices embedded with sensors, software, and other technologies to collect and exchange data with other devices and systems over the internet. Cloud Convergence: Cloud convergence involves integrating cloud computing resources with IoT devices to manage, process, and analyze the vast amounts of data generated by these devices. It leverages the scalability, Flexibility, and computa
