Distributed and Parallel Computing Technologies: Virtualization Report

This report delves into the concepts of cloud computing and virtualization, highlighting their significance in modern technology. It explores the different service models within cloud computing, including Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), and Data as a Service (DaaS). The report then examines the advantages and disadvantages of virtualization in cloud environments, such as cost efficiency, workload reduction, and security concerns. A key focus is on hypervisors, differentiating between Type 1 (bare metal) and Type 2 (client) hypervisors and their roles in managing virtual machines. The report concludes by emphasizing the widespread adoption of cloud computing and virtualization in large enterprises and their impact on service delivery and cost optimization, referencing various virtualization techniques like hardware virtual machines, full software virtualization, and hardware-assisted virtualization. The provided assignment brief includes the 2nd International Conference on Electrical and Information Technologies ICEIT’2016 details with a paper on virtualization in cloud computing.

INTRODUCTION
• Cloud computing is considered the biggest
technology which can be easily used for
making changes in the thinking of various
people around the globe.
• The ultimate goal of computing is to easily
provide various kinds of services which as
per the need of various users.
• Virtualization comes up with the ability
which can be used for running a higher
number of virtual machines rather than
physically available for various users.

DISCUSSION
Cloud computing comes with
various kinds of architecture
components like
 Software as a Service (SaaS)
 Platform as a Service (PaaS)
 Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
 Data as a service (DaaS)

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
Advantages of virtualization in cloud computing are
 It is cheaper
 It is considered to be cost predictable
 It reduces work load
Disadvantages of virtualization in cloud computing
 It comes up with high cost of virtualization
 It creates various kinds of security risk
 It is time consuming

HYPERVISOR
• There are mainly two of hypervisor like type 1 and type 2.
• Type- 1 hypervisor is also known to be native or bare metal. This particular
type of hypervisor mainly runs directly which can be used for the proper
managing guest operating system. It does not depend on the type of
operating system.
• While Type -2 hypervisors are known to be a client hypervisor which
resides on the top of any operating system. Different type of software
virtualization is carried out on the hypervisor because it totally depends on
the type of operating system

CONCLUSION
• From the above discussion, it can easily conclude that this presentation is all about cloud
computing and virtualization. There are a large number of virtualization technique which
are available currently in the market like hardware virtual machine, full software,
paravirtualization, resource virtualization and lastly hardware-assisted virtualization has
been discussed in details. In the last few years’ cloud computing has been used in large
enterprises which provides various kinds of services to users. The amount of money to be
paid by the user mainly depends on its need. Virtualization is a well-known technique
which is used in cloud computing for cost saving.
