Unit –I

1. Sketch a strategy reduce the power consumption in a lightly loaded cloud and discuss the steps for placing a computational server in standby mode and then bringing it back up to active mode.

2. Is cloud elasticity based on OverProvisioning sustainable?

Analyze Unit –I

1. Compare the 3 cloud computing delivery models from the point of view of application developers and users.

2. What are the major obstacles faced by the new technology cloud computing.

Evaluate

Unit –I1. Justify why the Computing Grid did not leave a big impact in the needs of information

processing2. Comment on P2P systems architecture.3. Compare and contrast the security and reliability of each delivery model.4. Justify how mobile devices could benefit from cloud computing. Discuss several cloud

applications for mobile devices.5. Do you believe that the homogeneity of large-scale distributed systems is an advantage?

Discuss reasons for your answers. What aspects of hardware and software homogeneity do you believe are the most relevant, and why?

6. An It company decides to provide free access to public cloud dedicated to higher education. Which one of the three cloud computing delivery models should it embrace, and why? What applications would be most beneficial for the students? Will this solution have an impact on distance learning? Why or why not?

7. OverProvisioning is the reliance on extra capacity to satisfy the needs of a large community of users when the average- to – peak resource demand ratio is very high. Give an example of large –scale system using over provisioning and discuss whether OverProvisioning is sustainable in that case and what its limitations are.

8. Compare the Oracle cloud offerings with the cloud services provided by Amazon, Google and Microsoft.
