Explain third party cloud services with it's examples

 THIRD-PARTY CLOUD SERVICES

One of the most important aspects of cloud computing is the ability to combine services from multiple suppliers or integrate them with existing software systems. The service-oriented model, which is the foundation of cloud computing, promotes such an approach and allows for the development of a new class of service known as third-party cloud services. These are the results of adding value to pre-existing cloud computing services, therefore offering clients a more unique and complex solution. Added value may be provided by intelligently coordinating existing services or by integrating new features on top of an existing cor service. Aside from this broad description, there is no distinguishing attribute of this type of service. 



Examples of third-party cloud services are explained below:

METACDN

MetaCDN delivers a Content Delivery Network (CDN) service to consumers by using and exploiting heterogeneous storage clouds.

MetaCDN employs mass distributed elastic storage to store user material and employs a software overlay that coordinates the service offers of several cloud storage companies. MetaCDN offers consumers the MetaCDN employs high-level services of a CDN for content distribution and interacts with the low-level interfaces of storage clouds to efficiently position user content based on the predicted geography of its demand. By utilizing the cloud as a storage backend, small businesses may now access a complex and typically expensive content delivery service.

SPOTCLOUD

SpotCloud is not only an enabler for IaaS providers and resellers, but it also serves as a mediator for all transactions linked with the utilization of resources. Users fund their SpotCloud accounts with credit, while capacity sellers are compensated using the standard pay-per-use mechanism. SpotCloud keeps a portion of the money charged to the user. Furthermore, employing a consistent runtime environment and virtual machine management layer offers customers a vendor-agnostic solution that may be important for particular applications.

The two previously mentioned examples demonstrate how diverse third-party services may be: MetaCDN offers a different service to end-users than simple cloud storage options; SpotCloud does not modify the sort of service that is ultimately delivered to end-users, but it enriches it with extra capabilities that result in more effective usage. These are only two instances of the market sector that is currently emerging as a result of the consolidation of cloud computing as a means of making better use of IT resources.

Explain Parallel Efficiency of MapReduce.

 PARALLEL EFFICIENCY OF MAP-REDUCE It is worth trying to figure out what is the parallel efficiency of MapReduce. Now let us assume that the data produced after the map phase is σ times the original data size D (σD), further, we assume that there are P processors which in turn perform map and reduce operations depending on which phase they are used in, so we do not have any wastage of processors. Also, the algorithm itself is assumed to do wD useful work, w is not necessarily a constant it could be D^2 or something like that, but the point is that there is some amount of useful work being done even if you have a single processor and that's wD. Now let us look at the overheads of doing the computation wD using MapReduce. After the map operation, instead of D data items, we have σD data items in P pieces, so each mapper writes data to their local disk. So, P there is some overhead associated with writing this data. Next, this data has to be read by each reducer before it can begin ...

Suppose that a data warehouse consists of the four dimensions; date, spectator, location, and game, and the two measures, count and charge, where charge is the fee that a spectator pays when watching a game on a given date. Spectators may be students, adults, or seniors, with each category having its own charge rate. a) Draw a star schema diagram for the data b) Starting with the base cuboid [date; spectator; location; game], what specific OLAP operations should perform in order to list the total charge paid by student spectators at GM Place in 2004?

  b) The specific OLAP operations to be performed are: 1. Roll-up on date from date id to year. 2. Roll-up on spectator from spectator id to status. 3. Roll-up on location from location id to location name. 4. Roll-up on the game from game id to all. 5. Dice with status= “students”, location name= “GM Place”, and year=2004

Suppose that a data warehouse for Big-University consists of the following four dimensions: student, course, semester, and instructor, and two measures count and avg_grade. When at the lowest conceptual level (e.g., for a given student, course, semester, and instructor combination), the avg_grade measure stores the actual course grade of the student. At higher conceptual levels, avg_grade stores the average grade for the given combination. a) Draw a snowflake schema diagram for the data warehouse. b) Starting with the base cuboid [student, course, semester, instructor], what specific OLAP operations (e.g., roll-up from semester to year) should one perform in order to list the average grade of CS courses for each BigUniversity student. c) If each dimension has five levels (including all), such as “student < major < status < university < all”, how many cuboids will this cube contain (including the base and apex cuboids)?

a) A Snowflake Shema is shown in figure below: b) The specific OLAP operations to be performed: 1. Roll-up on course from course_id to department. 2. Roll-up on a student from student_id to university. 3. Dice on course, student with department ="CS" and university = "biguniversity" 4. Drill-down on a student from the university to student_name. c) N = 4 dimensions The cube will contain 54 = 625 cuboids.
