Cloud Computing

-

You might have heard of the famous proverb:
"Necessity is the mother of invention."
Let's tokenize this proverb, as a wise-man said:"Tokenization makes things easy to understand."

So first thing is Necessity...

Once upon a time, there was  a large company who wanted to create a website for e-commerce. The website was for 24/7 and large amount of data needed to be managed and maintained. For this the management team of the company decided to launch their website onto the server. Initially the website got Launched successfully, but one day in the fine morning the CEO woke up from his/her slumber and got the Phone call from the manager. The manager told the CEO that their site was down last night due to heavy traffic on the server. CEO called an emergency meeting, in the meeting, the company decided to buy more servers as their data as well as the users were increasing. So in order to deal with  the large amount of data and heavy traffic, they need more servers. So they spent huge amount of money and got more servers. The servers were so powerful but one day, one of the servers got crashed and the company hired the maintenance team for their servers' maintenance. Which resulted in company's economic down fall.
Now what ? The CEO and the other officials were thinking about the solution to that very problem...And then the Cloud Computing came to rescue.

Invention...(may be)

Cloud Computing was invented in 2000's  and is the solution to all of the problems mentioned above. 
Cloud Computing is a huge, large and enormous network of high performance computers called servers. Those servers are maintained by particular firms. These firms have full control over those servers. And they provide cloud computing services to the users. Companies, individuals or states can use these services and may launch their websites, save big data,  and serve other users through the cloud computing service. 
When you have cloud computing service then you need not to deploy your website on any local server like xampp, or on your computer. Let's say you need to increase the number of servers then you can simply do it by using cloud computing service without any hardware interaction. You can also decrease the number of servers in case of less traffic, as Cloud computing is Scalable.

The first cloud computing service provider is Amazon Web Services (AWS). There are some other top cloud computing service providers as:
  • Microsoft Azure
  • Dropbox
  • IBM Cloud
  • Google Cloud Platform
  • Adobe
  • Salesforce
  • Oracle Cloud
  • VMware
You can go to any of these CCSP (Cloud Computing Service Provider's) website and make your account on it. So get your own cloud and launch your own sites... (or other things...)

Like other structures, cloud computing is also based on some models. There are two basic models of cloud computing, which are also subdivided:


    • IAAS
    • PAAS
    • SAAS
    • Public Cloud
    • Private Cloud
    • Hybrid Cloud

Service Models


The service models can be defined as what kind of service is provided by the cloud computing service provider. There are 3 basic service models.
    • IAAS is a service model which deals with providing the access to the Operating System (OS) to the user. User can use IAAS model to select the OS on which the task is to be run.
    • PAAS is a service model, which provides buttons and user friendly interface to select the service options. But you have no access to OS.
    • SAAS is a service model, which neither provides any access to the platform nor to an OS. But you only get the software and use it for your cloud computing task. You need not to manage any thing at all. Just take the software like CRM (Customer Resource Management System) and use it. that's it!

A COMPARISON BETWEEN IAAS, PAAS, and SAAS

Here the sea-green blocks are showing the layers that  you can manage, and orange blocks are showing what cloud computing service providers can manage.

Now what are the Deployment Models...

Deployment Models

These models deal with what type of deployment cloud you are using for your task. These are of 3 basic types:
    • As the name suggests, public cloud is a server/servers that can be used by  many other users along with you. 
    • Private cloud is your, just your, cloud. No one without your permission is able to use it. You can put sensitive data into that cloud. 
    • Hybrid is a mixture of both the public and private cloud. It allows you to have some of your data to be accessed by everyone on the public cloud, while your sensitive record could be on private cloud.

The selection of service and deployment models depends, totally on the type of your task. These days most of the companies are using cloud computing in order to take their business on high levels.

Advantages Of Cloud Computing

There are many advantages of Cloud Computing, some of them are:
  • Scalability 
  • Cost effectiveness
  • Could be accessed from any where, anytime
  • Portable
  • Ease of use

You could or could you ? have your own cloud computing service, and sell it to others..May be... (think about it and comment on it down below : )

 Happy Learning !

Pintos : Series : Part3 : Project 1 : Alarm Clock

-
Image
The PintOS project has 27 test cases that we need to pass. In the first project we are just going for the five test cases related to alarm clock that are as under: alarm_multiple alarm_single alarm_simultaneous alarm_negative alarm_zero But before jumping into the code, let's first understand the basic structure of PintOS and how it runs. Consider the following diagram: Here QEMU is an emulator on which pintOS runs. Test cases are the processes that we run on the PintOS (Operating System). So we only need to modify the PintOS code, we are not allowed to make any change to the test cases code as this would be a cheating. When you open up the PintOS directory, in tests/threads/tests.c all the test cases are declared. And in the tests/threads/ directory you can observe files with the extension " .ck " and " .c ". So the " test_Name.c " files are the files in which test cases are defined, while " test_Name.ck " file

1-Machine Learning : Start...

John went to the cafeteria 10 times at 1:00 P.M. on 10 Fridays, each time the cafeteria was closed at that particular time. John decided not to go to cafe at 1:00 P.M. on Friday because the cafe will be closed.  But wait! How did John know that the cafe will  also be closed on next Friday at 1:00 P.M.??? Yes, you are absolutely right.  "John Learned from his Experience that the Task of going to the cafeteria at 1:00 P.M. on Fridays resulted in waste of time, since the cafe was closed on each Friday, so it will Perform the same on the next Friday." In the above scenario, John learned something so we can call it " John Learning ". Similarly, if we replace John with some sort of Machine, that can learn from the Experience or from the History about how the tasks were performed in the past given certain situation. Such that the Machine will perform the same if the same task happen again in near future. Then this will be called as Machine Learning. To mak

Relational Data Model

In the previous blog post, we covered Data Modeling. We have seen that data modeling is really important before jumping into predictive modeling.  In this article, we will cover the Relational Data Model (RDM). Let's start from the very basics, relational means anything which is linked with some other thing. This link is called "Relationship". In RDM or RM there are major three types of relationship cardinalities (also called Multiplicities or Cardianalities): 1. One to one 2. One to many 3. Many to many We can understand these with the help of a few simple examples;  One to one: One department has one manager. One to many: One class has many students. Many to many: Many teachers can teach many students. Okay, so we have got an abstract overview of the term " Relational ", now the next thing is " Data ", data covers everything, anything... And finally, " Model " means something in the form of a template, design, a kind of blueprint.  To store

Data Modeling

source: https://searchdatamanagement.techtarget.com/definition/data-modeling A wise person once said a picture is worth a thousand words . In real-world data is not just a few rows of excel sheet, yet it comprises several billion rows expanded through hundreds  of tables. A table is usually made up of rows and columns. Each table represents an Entity . Entity means an Object or thing. That Entity has several properties called Attributes . Those attributes represent the qualities or characteristics of the entity. Since there is more than one entity, so there should be a Relationship between those entities. If we look at the tables we cannot get a clear idea of the relationship between several tables/Entities. Hence, we need to represent the tables/data in the form of a picture or a flow graph. That flow graph or Entity-Relationship diagram is called a Data Model .  Data Modeling is a technique to represent how the tables are related to each other and to represent the structure of da

Yes, you have to take notes in the university class!  Before talking about the notetaking strategy, we will understand the importance of taking notes. Importance Of Taking Notes No doubt there are a few students who can produce good results without even taking notes in the class. But their number is least. Most of us need to make good notes in the class especially when we are in university. Notes are important because: They help us to keep track of what we have studied in the whole semester. Notes help us to prepare for the exams, in a very short time. We can refer to our notes for short quizzes in the eleventh hour. In addition to reading and listening, writing notes increases the ability to memorize the important concepts. It helps you to realize that you have done something in the class.

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit. ~Aristotle Have you ever noticed? When you were a kid, your parents used to correct you all the time, whenever you did some mistake. Why did they do so? Because at that time you were growing at the conscience and the sub-conscience level. Your mind was setting some patterns at that time. And today, you are mostly acting out of those patterns. Your parents want great patterns for you, that's why they used to scold you at an early age. The patterns set at that time is what you repeatedly do and that is what we call, "the habit".  Similarly, when you are a fresher you could adopt certain habits that could make or break you in the long run. Every one of us wants to have constructive habits. so here are some habits that you could adopt as a fresher in order to function well in coming years... Habits to Have 1.

Before digging into E-commerce platforms, let's first understand what an E-commerce actually is? E-Commerce... According to the Tokenization Rule , E-commerce is the combination of "E" and "Commerce".  The word Commerce means trade or buying and selling of items, goods, services, hardwares and, softwares... etc. And " E " stands for "Electronic", electronic means something like electricity, like signals, like something in the form of electrons (at lower level).  Image Source So, the word " E-COMMERCE " means: " A type of trade, that is done using electronic devices (computer, mobile or ATM machines etc). "   And to achieve electronic commerce, what's the most important thing? think over it!  Yeah that's correct! your own Internet is the most important thing to do E-commerce.  Major areas of E-commerce are: On-line shopping or retailing On-line bidding or auction On-line soft
