Introduction To Cloud Computing: Definition of Cloud – Evolution of Cloud Computing –Underlying
Principles of Parallel and Distributed Computing – Cloud Characteristics – Elasticity in Cloud –
On‐demand Provisioning.
AKTU 2024-25
1) Define cloud computing and trace its evolution.
2) Critically evaluate the challenges faced during the evolution of cloud computing.
3) Analyze the underlying principles of parallel computing in cloud environments. Derive equations
for workload balancing in a distributed cloud environment handling 10,000 tasks.
4) Compare traditional IT resource provisioning with cloud-based provisioning. Provide a cost
analysis model for a small business migrating to the cloud.
5) Evaluate the importance of elasticity in cloud computing. Provide a numerical model illustrating
elasticity when user traffic scales from 10,000 to 1 million users in a video streaming service.
AKTU 2023-24
6) Compare parallel computing and distributed computing.
7) List the characteristics of cloud computing.
8) Define the need of cloud computing and explain its evolution with suitable diagram.
AKTU 2022-23
9) Compare parallel computing and distributed computing.
10) List out and discuss the innovative characteristic of cloud computing.
