Cloud
Computing
Five essential characteristics:
•
1. On-demand self-service.
•
2. Broad network access.
•
3. Resource pooling.
•
4. Rapid elasticity.
•
5. Measured service.

1. Clouds In Processing

2. Clouds In Memory
• storing and processing data directly in the main memory (RAM)
of servers
• allows for the efficient storage and retrieval of large volumes of
data in the cloud using high-performance, memory-based
systems.
• can be particularly beneficial for applications that require realtime analytics, high-speed data processing, and rapid data
access.

3. CLOUD IN I/O
• I/O operations involve
transferring data
between the cloud
environment and
external systems, such as
client devices or other
cloud services.
• Cloud in I/O allows
organizations to
leverage the scalability
and flexibility of cloud
computing to handle
data-intensive
operations efficiently

1. Processes in VMware
VMkernel: The
VMkernel is the core
component of VMware
ESXi.
Hypervisor: The
hypervisor, such as
VMware ESXi, is
responsible for
managing and
executing VMs.
VMware bases its
virtualization
technologies on the
ESX or ESXi bare metal
hypervisor in the x86
architecture
Virtual Machine
Monitor (VMM): The
VMM is a component
of the hypervisor that
supervises the
execution of VMs
Guest Operating Systems:
Each VM in VMware runs
its own guest operating
system

2. Memory Management in VMware
•
•
•
•
Memory Overcommitment.
Memory Ballooning.
Memory Compression.
Memory Page Sharing.

3. Input/Output Operations
• Virtual Disk Controllers
• Storage Virtualization
• I/O Scheduler
• Network Virtualization

4. File Systems in VMware:
• NFS and iSCSI Support: VMware
supports Network File System
(NFS) and Internet Small Computer
System underlying hardware, but
instead have it always match some
configuration composed of
selected, canonical I/O devices.
• Virtual Machine File System
(VMFS): VMFS is a clustered file
system designed by VMware
specifically for storing virtual
machine disk files. It provides
features like thin provisioning,
snapshots, and support for large
file sizes.
