Distributed Systems 1 2  The Hype! Forrester in 2010 – Cloud computing will go from $40.7 billion in 2010 to $241 billion in 2020. Goldman Sachs says cloud computing will grow at annual rate of 30% from 2013-2018 Hadoop market to reach $20.8 B by by 2018: Transparency Market Research Companies and even Federal/state governments using cloud computing now: fbo.gov 3  Many Cloud Providers AWS: Amazon Web Services – EC2: Elastic Compute Cloud – S3: Simple Storage Service – EBS: Elastic Block Storage Microsoft Azure Google Cloud/Compute Engine/AppEngine Rightscale, Salesforce, EMC, Gigaspaces, 10gen, Datastax, Oracle, VMWare, Yahoo, Cloudera And many many more! 4  Two Categories of Clouds Can be either a (i) public cloud, or (ii) private cloud Private clouds are accessible only to company employees Public clouds provide service to any paying customer: – Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service): store arbitrary datasets, pay per GB-month stored As of 2015: 1-3 c per GB month – Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud): upload and run arbitrary OS images, pay per CPU hour used As of 2015: 1.3 c per CPU hr to $5.52 per CPU hr (depending on strength) – Google cloud: similar pricing as above – Google AppEngine/Compute Engine: develop applications within their appengine framework, upload data that will be imported into their format, and run 5  Customers Save Time and $$$ Dave Power, Associate Information Consultant at Eli Lilly and Company: “With AWS, Powers said, a new server can be up and running in three minutes (it used to take Eli Lilly seven and a half weeks to deploy a server internally) and a 64-node Linux cluster can be online in five minutes (compared with three months internally). … It's just shy of instantaneous.” Ingo Elfering, Vice President of Information Technology Strategy, GlaxoSmithKline: “With Online Services, we are able to reduce our IT operational costs by roughly 30% of what we’re spending” Jim Swartz, CIO, Sybase: “At Sybase, a private cloud of virtual servers inside its datacenter has saved nearly $US2 million annually since 2006, Swartz says, because the company can share computing power and storage resources across servers.” 100s of startups in Silicon Valley can harness large computing resources without buying their own machines. 6 But what exactly IS a cloud? 7  What is a Cloud? It’s a cluster! It’s a supercomputer! It’s a datastore! It’s superman! None of the above All of the above Cloud = Lots of storage + compute cycles nearby 8  What is a Cloud? A single-site cloud (aka “Datacenter”) consists of – Compute nodes (grouped into racks) – Switches, connecting the racks – A network topology, e.g., hierarchical – Storage (backend) nodes connected to the network – Front-end for submitting jobs and receiving client requests – (Often called “three-tier architecture”) – Software Services A geographically distributed cloud consists of – Multiple such sites – Each site perhaps with a different structure and services 9 A Sample Cloud Topology So then, what is a cluster? 10  “A Cloudy History of Time” The first datacenters! Timesharing Companies Clouds and datacenters 1940 & Data Processing Industry 1950 Clusters 1960 Grids 1970 1980 PCs 1990 (not distributed!) 2000 Peer to peer systems 2012 11  “A Cloudy History of Time” First large datacenters: ENIAC, ORDVAC, ILLIAC Many used vacuum tubes and mechanical relays Berkeley NOW Project Supercomputers 1940 Server Farms (e.g., Oceano) 1950 1960 P2P Systems (90s-00s) Many Millions of users 1970 Many GB per day 1980 Data Processing Industry - 1968: $70 M. 1978: $3.15 Billion 1990 Timesharing Industry (1975): 2000 Market Share: Honeywell 34%, IBM 15%, Grids (1980s-2000s): 2012 Clouds Xerox 10%, CDC 10%, DEC 10%, UNIVAC 10% GriPhyN (1970s-80s) Honeywell 6000 & 635, IBM 370/168, Open Science Grid and Lambda Rail (2000s) Xerox 940 & Sigma 9, DEC PDP-10, UNIVAC 1108 12 Globus & other standards (1990s-2000s)  Trends: Technology Doubling Periods – storage: 12 mos, bandwidth: 9 mos, and (what law is this?) cpu compute capacity: 18 mos Then and Now – Bandwidth 1985: mostly 56Kbps links nationwide 2015: Tbps links widespread – Disk capacity Today’s PCs have TBs, far more than a 1990 supercomputer 13  Trends: Users Then and Now Biologists: – 1990: were running small single-molecule simulations – Today: CERN’s Large Hadron Collider producing many PB/year 14  Prophecies In 1965, MIT's Fernando Corbató and the other designers of the Multics operating system envisioned a computer facility operating “like a power company or water company”. Plug your thin client into the computing Utility and Play your favorite Intensive Compute & Communicate Application – Have today’s clouds brought us closer to this reality? Think about it. 15  Four Features New in Today’s Clouds I. Massive scale. II. On-demand access: Pay-as-you-go, no upfront commitment. – And anyone can access it III. Data-intensive Nature: What was MBs has now become TBs, PBs and XBs. – Daily logs, forensics, Web data, etc. – Humans have data numbness: Wikipedia (large) compressed is only about 10 GB! IV. New Cloud Programming Paradigms: MapReduce/Hadoop, NoSQL/Cassandra/MongoDB and many others. – High in accessibility and ease of programmability – Lots of open-source Combination of one or more of these gives rise to novel and unsolved distributed computing problems in cloud computing. 16  I. Massive Scale Facebook [GigaOm, 2012] – 30K in 2009 -> 60K in 2010 -> 180K in 2012 Microsoft [NYTimes, 2008] – 150K machines – Growth rate of 10K per month – 80K total running Bing – In 2013, Microsoft Cosmos had 110K machines (4 sites) Yahoo! : – 100K – Split into clusters of 4000 AWS EC2 [Randy Bias, 2009] – 40K machines – 8 cores/machine eBay : 50K machines HP : 380K in 180 DCs 17 Google [2011, Data Center Knowledge] : 900K Quiz: Where is the World’s Largest Datacenter? 18  Quiz: Where is the World’s Largest Datacenter?

On-demand access: *aaS Classification On-demand: renting a cab vs. (previously) renting a car, or buying one. E.g.: – AWS Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2): a few cents to a few $ per CPU hour – AWS Simple Storage Service (S3): a few cents per GB-month HaaS: Hardware as a Service – You get access to barebones hardware machines, do whatever you want with them, Ex: Your own cluster – Not always a good idea because of security risks IaaS: Infrastructure as a Service – You get access to flexible computing and storage infrastructure. Virtualization is one way of achieving this (cgroups, Kubernetes, Dockers, VMs,…). Often said to subsume HaaS. – Ex: Amazon Web Services (AWS: EC2 and S3), OpenStack, Eucalyptus, Rightscale, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud. 23  II. On-demand access: *aaS Classification PaaS: Platform as a Service – You get access to flexible computing and storage infrastructure, coupled with a software platform (often tightly coupled) – Ex: Google’s AppEngine (Python, Java, Go) SaaS: Software as a Service – You get access to software services, when you need them. Often said to subsume SOA (Service Oriented Architectures). – Ex: Google docs, MS Office on demand 24  III. Data-intensive Computing Computation-Intensive Computing – Example areas: MPI-based, High-performance computing, Grids – Typically run on supercomputers (e.g., NCSA Blue Waters) Data-Intensive – Typically store data at datacenters – Use compute nodes nearby – Compute nodes run computation services In data-intensive computing, the focus shifts from computation to the data: CPU utilization no longer the most important resource metric, instead I/O is (disk and/or network) 25  IV. New Cloud Programming Paradigms Easy to write and run highly parallel programs in new cloud programming paradigms: – Google: MapReduce and Sawzall – Amazon: Elastic MapReduce service (pay-as-you-go) – Google (MapReduce) Indexing: a chain of 24 MapReduce jobs ~200K jobs processing 50PB/month (in 2006) – Yahoo! (Hadoop + Pig) WebMap: a chain of several MapReduce jobs 300 TB of data, 10K cores, many tens of hours (~2008) – Facebook (Hadoop + Hive) ~300TB total, adding 2TB/day (in 2008) 3K jobs processing 55TB/day – Similar numbers from other companies, e.g., Yieldex, eharmony.com, etc. – NoSQL: MySQL is an industry standard, but Cassandra is 2400 times faster! 26  Two Categories of Clouds Can be either a (i) public cloud, or (ii) private cloud Private clouds are accessible only to company employees Public clouds provide service to any paying customer You’re starting a new service/company: should you use a public cloud or purchase your own private cloud? 27  Single site Cloud: to Outsource or Own? Medium-sized organization: wishes to run a service for M months – Service requires 128 servers (1024 cores) and 524 TB – Same as UIUC CCT (Cloud Computing Testbed) cloud site (bought in 2009, now decommissioned) Outsource (e.g., via AWS): monthly cost – S3 costs: $0.12 per GB month. EC2 costs: $0.10 per CPU hour (costs from 2009) – Storage = $ 0.12 X 524 X 1000 ~ $62 K – Total = Storage + CPUs = $62 K + $0.10 X 1024 X 24 X 30 ~ $136 K Own: monthly cost – Storage ~ $349 K / M – Total ~ $ 1555 K / M + 7.5 K (includes 1 sysadmin / 100 nodes) using 0.45:0.4:0.15 split for hardware:power:network and 3 year lifetime of hardware 28  Single site Cloud: to Outsource or Own? Breakeven analysis: more preferable to own if: - $349 K / M < $62 K (storage) - $ 1555 K / M + 7.5 K < $136 K (overall) Breakeven points - M > 5.55 months (storage) - M > 12 months (overall) - As a result - Startups use clouds a lot - Cloud providers benefit monetarily most from storage 29  Academic Clouds: Emulab A community resource open to researchers in academia and industry. Very widely used by researchers everywhere today. https://www.emulab.net/ A cluster, with currently ~500 servers Founded and owned by University of Utah (led by Late Prof. Jay Lepreau) As a user, you can: – Grab a set of machines for your experiment – You get root-level (sudo) access to these machines – You can specify a network topology for your cluster – You can emulate any topology All images © Emulab 30  A community resource open to researchers in academia and industry http://www.planet-lab.org/ Currently, ~ 1077 nodes at ~500 sites across the world All images © PlanetLab Founded at Princeton University (led by Prof. Larry Peterson), but owned in a federated manner by the sites Node: Dedicated server that runs components of PlanetLab services. Site: A location, e.g., UIUC, that hosts a number of nodes. Sliver: Virtual division of each node. Currently, uses VMs, but it could also other technology. Needed for timesharing across users. Slice: A spatial cut-up of the PL nodes. Per user. A slice is a way of giving each user (Unix-shell like) access to a subset of PL machines, selected by the user. A slice consists of multiple slivers, one at each component node. Thus, PlanetLab allows you to run real world-wide experiments. Many services have been deployed atop it, used by millions (not just researchers): Application-level DNS services, Monitoring services, CoralCDN, etc. PlanetLab is basis for NSF GENI https://www.geni.net/ 31  Public Research Clouds Accessible to researchers with a qualifying grant Chameleon Cloud: https://www.chameleoncloud.org/ HaaS OpenStack (~AWS) CloudLab: https://www.cloudlab.us/ Build your own cloud on their hardware 32  Summary Clouds build on many previous generations of distributed systems Especially the timesharing and data processing industry of the 1960-70s.
