DESCRIPTION
Cloud computing is a well-known paradigm in the IT industry. Numerous IT vendors are promising to offer computation, storage, and application hosting services and to provide coverage in several continents, offering service-level agreements (SLA)-backed performance and uptime promises for their services. While these "clouds" are the natural evolution of traditional data centers, they are distinguished by exposing resources (computation, data, and applications) as standards-based Web services and following a "utility" pricing model where customers are charged based on their utilization of computational resources, storage, and transfer of data. They offer subscription-based access to infrastructure, platforms, and applications that are popularly referred to as IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service), and SaaS (Software as a Service).
The IT industry is rapidly shifting its focus from developing applications for PCs to Clouds, which deliver application services to millions of users simultaneously. This is creating a huge demand of manpower with skills in Cloud computing and development of applications.
