INTRODUCTION CLOUD DEFINITION Cloud computing is a set of service-oriented architectures, which allow users to access a number of resources in a way that is elastic, cost-efficient, and on-demand. 4

INTRODUCTION CLOUD DEFINITION Scalable resource allocation Tailored services Software as a Service (SaaS) Platform as a Service (PaaS) Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Billed like a utility public clouds 5

INTRODUCTION CLIENT/SERVER VS. CLOUD ARCHITECTURE Network Client Server Network Client Cloud Interface Compute Node Switch/ Router Storage Node Client/Server Architecture Cloud Architecture Storage Client Cloud Admin 6

LOCAL CLOUD ARCHITECTURES IAAS Local Cloud? Small to medium sized What resources would we need to do this? Compute Servers Persistent Storage Servers VM Image Server(s) Cloud Administrative Server(s) Network Infrastructure Copper 7

LOCAL CLOUD ARCHITECTURES IAAS Compute Servers CPU, RAM, Local disk (magnetic, SSD) resources given to the user. In the form of virtual machines. Hosts virtual machines using a hypervisor Xen, KVM, ESXi Grid VGX Hybrid approach to hypervisor selection is common. Windows Linux Mac OS X 8

LOCAL CLOUD ARCHITECTURES IAAS Persistent Storage Servers What they are: VMs hosted on the compute servers are stateless. What they do: Used for long term storage of data. Virtual Machine Image Server Modified Persistent Storage Server. Repository of available VM images. 9

CURRENT RESEARCH Private cloud architectures are great! But how can we expand while staying cost efficient? Current Research Areas: Deployment with limited networking resources. Power aware cloud resource control. Power Aware Load Consolidation (PALC) Power Aware Storage Consolidation (PASC) Virtualization: Migration, Performance, and Costs 10

CURRENT RESEARCH INTERFACE Great! Now how do I interface with all of these cloud resources? 13

CURRENT RESEARCH INTERFACE 14

CURRENT RESEARCH INTERFACE Now that we have the cloud infrastructure, time to start using the resources! One NAT router, one public IP address. Problem? Only the cloud resources are behind the NAT router. Solutions VPN for client devices Extra layer of complexity for user NAT port forwarding Uses DB to maintain protocols currently used by clients Update IP tables Hidden from user 15

CURRENT RESEARCH POWER CONSUMPTION Reducing costs by applying active power aware strategies. Power Aware Load Consolidation Power Aware Storage Consolidation Advantages lowers operational costs of cloud resources Issues Resource availability power state transitions 26

CURRENT RESEARCH POWER CONSUMPTION – PALC - RELATED Van, et al Power vs Performance in Clouds Barroso, Holzle 2012 Energy-Proportional Computing Hu, et al Scheduler for Load Balancing in Cloud Computing We provide a power aware strategy for consolidating virtual machine requests on compute nodes. Power down unused compute nodes 27

CURRENT RESEARCH POWER CONSUMPTION - PALC PALC Placement of virtual machines on as few compute servers as possible. Other compute servers in low power state Able to convert hot/cold depending on user demand 28

CURRENT RESEARCH POWER CONSUMPTION - PALC 29

CURRENT RESEARCH POWER CONSUMPTION - PALC Algorithm PALC consolidate: for all active compute nodes j ∈ [m] do n j  current utilization of compute node j end for if all n j > D t utilization //all available nodes are active boot vm on most underutilized compute node end if else boot vm on most utilized compute node end else upscale: if for all n > D t utilization if number of active compute nodes < m boot next available compute node end if downscale: if vm i idle > 6 hours or user initiated shutdown shutdown vm i end if if n j has no active vm shutdown active compute node end if 30

CURRENT RESEARCH POWER CONSUMPTION – PASC - RELATED Hasebe, et al Power-Savings in large scale storage systems Prada, et al Power-Aware Storage Architecture for HPC We provide macro management of storage devices based on current user utilization. Power down storage nodes during low utilization 33

CURRENT RESEARCH POWER CONSUMPTION - PASC PASC Persistent storage is necessary in cloud environments VMs are inherently stateless. How can we decrease the power consumption of storing persistent data without affecting availability? 34

Algorithm PASC Active: if user j becomes active: locate data j on cold storage node HS a  current utilization of hot storage node a if HS a can accommodate data j +(Quota j – data j ): power on cold storage node transfer data j  hot storage node a delete data j from cold storage node power off cold storage node else: //no hot storage node can accommodate data j perform cold-hot conversion In-Active: if user j becomes in-active: CS a  current utilization of cold storage node a if CS a can accommodate data j : power on cold storage node a transfer data j  cold storage node a delete data j from hot storage node power off cold storage node a Cold-Hot Conversion: CS a  current utilization of cold storage node a for CS a ε [m] do: minUtil  (if CS a utilization < minUtil) update CS a with minUtil to hot storage node perform In-active on CS a to transfer unused data to cold storage nodes Hot-Cold Conversion: for CS a ε [m] do: if ((CS a + CS a+1 utilization) < Threshold): transfer data CS a  CS a+1 delete data from CS a update CS a to cold storage node Backup: if day < 7: incremental backup else: full backup 35
