Cloud – short description
Modern way to get computing resources
and pay only for the usage.
HW infra and server operating systems are commodity.
What is OpenStack?
A freely available collection of cloud machinery elements that let's you create cloud environment.
The environment has well described both user and machine interfaces, and good documentation.
Different Clouds
● Private cloud
– For development environments
– Automatizing the existing server capacity in-house
– Small-scale production cloud● Hosted private cloud
– OpenStack can be hosted externally
– Smooth transition from private cloud to hosted private environment.● Public cloud
– There are operators that run public clouds using OpenStack.
Private vs. Public Cloud
● Use OpenStack for cloud privacy
– Keep your valuable data close to you (customer information, corporate sensitive data) -> private, or in trusted public
● Know who handles your private data (Trusted partner hosts your cloud)
● Identify who do you don't want to handle your data
– Do you trust the cloud vendor, their employees and officials?

Private vs. Public Cloud
● Use remote cloud near the user to deliver quick access
● Use global/foreign clouds to deliver the bulk data
● Store only run time information remotely, no registers
Design your cloud machinery to allow interoperability between the public and private clouds.
