One does not simply explain "cloud". A continuum from virtual machines to the cloud, with a Star Trek bias. Holodeck, virtual machines, hypervisors, pulbic cloud, private cloud, hybrid cloud, VirtualBox, Ubuntu, OpenStack, and finally, Make it so!

Holodeck on StarTrek Enterprise TNG
Holodeck
● Star Trek: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodeck
● A simulated reality, where 3D worlds could be simulated with force fields and projections.
● Load, run, freeze and store programs.
As it was in the beginning
● Mainframe virtualization.● IBM's CP-40 research system in 1967.● Compartmentalize large processing
capabilities.● Run processes separately.● Lease “slices” to different customers.
Too many servers?
● Data center challenges● One physical server for one application
– Web
– Storage
– Authentication
– Network
Power, Cooling, Bandwidth...
= 4
Rise of Apache
● Apache VirtualHost.● Multiple virtual web hosts in each physical
server.● Led to the adoption of Apache in server
rooms.● Eventually led to Linux to run these websites.● Still one underlying OS.
Single point of failure?
Hypervisor
This is not a hypervisor
...although it is a VISOR http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geordi_La_Forge#VISOR

Moving up to the cloud
*aaS
● Software as a Service (SaaS)– Salesforce.com, GoogleDocs
● Platform as a Service (PaaS)– Google App Engine, Heroku, OpenShift
● Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)– OpenStack, Eucalyptus, CloudStack
● Metal as a Service (MaaS)– Ubuntu MaaS
