- 8. ENTERPRISE CLOUD COMPUTING Technology, Architecture, Applications Cloud computing promises to revolutionize IT and business by making computing available as a utility over the internet. This book is intended pri- marily for practicing software architects who need to assess the impact of such a transformation. It explains the evolution of the internet into a cloud computing platform, describes emerging development paradigms and tech- nologies, and discusses how these will change the way enterprise applications should be architected for cloud deployment. Gautam Shroff provides a technical description of cloud computing tech- nologies, covering cloud infrastructure and platform services, programming paradigms such as MapReduce, as well as ‘do-it-yourself’ hosted development tools. He also describes emerging technologies critical to cloud computing. The book also covers the fundamentals of enterprise computing, including a technical introduction to enterprise architecture, so it will interest program- mers aspiring to become software architects and serve as a reference for a graduate-level course in software architecture or software engineering. Gautam Shroff heads TCS’ Innovation Lab in Delhi, a corporate R&D lab that conducts applied research in software architecture, natural language process- ing, data mining, multimedia, graphics and computer vision. Additionally he is responsible for TCS’ Global Co-Innovation Network (COIN), which works with venture-backed emerging technology companies to create and take to market solutions that have disruptive innovation potential. Further, as a member of TCS’ Corporate Technology Board, he is part of the process of rec- ommending directions to existing R&D efforts, spawning new R&D efforts, sponsoring external research and proliferating the resulting technology and intellectual property across TCS’ businesses.

- 18. Preface In today’s world virtually all available information on any technical topic is just a few clicks away on the web. This is especially true of an emerging area such as cloud computing. So why write a book, and, who should read this book and why? Every few years a new ‘buzzword’ becomes the rage of the technology world. The PC in the 80s, the internet in the 90s, service-oriented architecture in the early 2000s, and more recently ‘cloud computing’: By enabling computing itself to be delivered as a utility available over the internet, cloud computing could transform enterprise IT. Such a transformation could be as significant as the emergence of power utilities in the early twentieth century, as eloquently elucidated in Nicholas Carr’s recent book The Big Switch. Over the years large enterprises have come to rely on information technol- ogy to run their increasingly complex business operations. Each successive technology ‘revolution’ promises tremendous gains. It falls upon the shoul- ders of the technical architects in the IT industry to evaluate these promises and measure them against the often significant pain that is involved in adapt- ing complex IT systems to new computing paradigms: The transition to cloud computing is no exception. So, this book is first and foremost for technical architects, be they from IT departments or consulting organizations. The aim is to cover cloud comput- ing technology, architectures and applications in detail, so as to be able to properly assess its true impact on enterprise IT. Since cloud computing promises to fundamentally revolutionize the way enterprise IT is run, we also revisit many principles of enterprise architecture and applications. Consequently, this is also a book on the fundamen- tals of enterprise computing, and can therefore serve as a reference for a xi
- 19. xii PREFACE graduate-level course in software architecture or software engineering. Alter- natively, software professionals interested in acquiring the ‘architect’ tag may also find it a useful read. From a personal perspective this book is also an attempt to capture my experience of a decade in the IT industry after an initial career in academic computer science: The IT industry seemed ever busier dealing with constant changes in technology. At the same time, every generation of profession- als, in particular the technical architects, were constantly reinventing the wheel: Even though automation techniques, such as large-scale code genera- tion using ‘model driven architecture’ often actually worked in practice, these were far from the panacea that they theoretically appeared to be. Nevertheless, the academic in me continued to ask, what after all does an enterprise application do, and why should it be so complex? In 2004 I wrote an interpreter for what appeared to me to be a perfectly reasonable 3- tier architecture on which, I thought, any enterprise application should run. This was the seed of what became TCS’ InstantApps platform. At the same time Salesforce.com was also experimenting with an interpretive architecture that later became Force.com. While software as a service was the rage of the industry, I began using the term Dev 2.0 to describe such interpretive hosted development platforms. In the meantime Amazon launched its elastic computing cloud, EC2. Sud- denly, the entire IT infrastructure for an enterprise could be set up ‘in the cloud.’ ‘Dev 2.0 in the Cloud’ seemed the next logical step, as I speculated in a keynote at the 2008 ACM SIGSOFT FSE conference. After my talk, Heather Bergman from Cambridge University Press asked me whether I would be interested in writing a book. The idea of a book had been in my mind for more than a year then; I had envisaged a book on software architecture. But maybe a technical book on cloud computing was more the need of the hour. And thus this book was born. In my attempt to present cloud computing in the context of enterprise computing, I have ended up covering a rather vast landscape. Part I traces the evolution of computing technology and how enterprise architecture strives to manage change with continuity. Part II introduces cloud computing plat- forms and the economics of cloud computing, followed by an overview of technologies essential for cloud applications in Part III. Part IV delves into the details of cloud computing and how it impacts application development. The essentials of enterprise software architecture are covered in Part V, from an overview of enterprise data models to how applications are built. We also show how the essence of what an enterprise application does can be abstracted
- 20. PREFACE xiii using models. Part V concludes with an integrated picture of enterprise ana- lytics and search, and how these tasks can be efficiently implemented on computing clouds. These are important topics that are unfamiliar to many architects; so hopefully, their unified treatment here using matrix algebra is illuminating. Finally, Part VI presents an overview of the industry ecosys- tem around enterprise cloud computing and concludes by speculating on the possible future of cloud computing for enterprises. A number of people have helped bring this book to fruition: First of all, Heather Bergman who suggested that I write, helped me finalize the topic and table of contents, and led me through the book proposal process in record time. Once the first draft was written, Jeff Ullman reviewed critical parts of the book in great detail, for which I remain eternally grateful. Rob Schreiber, my PhD advisor from another lifetime, also took similar pains, even 20 years after doing the same with my PhD thesis; thanks Rob! Many of my colleagues in TCS also reviewed parts of the manuscript; in particular Ananth Krishnan, C. Anantaram, Puneet Agarwal, Geetika Sharma, Lipika Dey, Venkatachari Raghavan, Surjeet Mishra, Srinivasan Varadanarayanan and Harrick Vin. I would also like to thank David Tranah for taking over as my editor when Heather Bergman left Cambridge University Press soon after I began writing, and for shepherding the book through the publication process. Finally, I am grateful for the continuous encouragement and support I have received over the years from TCS management, in particular F.C. Kohli, S. Ramadorai and Phiroz Vandrevala, as well as, more recently, N. Chan- drasekaran. I would also like to thank E. C. Subbarao and Kesav Nori, who have been my mentors in TCS R&D, for serving as role models, influencing my ideas and motivating me to document my experience. I have learned that while writing is enjoyable, it is also difficult: Whenever my intrinsic laziness threatened this project, my motivation was fueled by the enthusiasm of my family. With my wife, sister-in-law and mother-in-law all having studied at Cambridge University, I suspect this was also in no small measure due to the publisher I was writing for! Last but not least, I thank my wife Brinda, and kids Selena and Ahan, for tolerating my preoccupation with writing on weekends and holidays for the better part of a year. I sincerely hope that you enjoy reading this book as much as I have enjoyed writing it.

The next consists of three chapters of literary studies: the first treats of the literary influences to which Virgil was subject, the second of his contemporaries, and the third about the growth of the myths about Aeneas. The third portion of the book deals, in three chapters, with the land and the nation, the three topics being Italy, Rome, and Augustus. The last part of the book is on Virgil’s interpretation of life, and here we have chapters on Dido, Aeneas, Hades, and Olympus, and a final summary.”— Nation. “In the long list of writings on Virgil and his poetry, Mr. Glover’s new book deserves a high place. The chapter about Dido is perhaps the best in the book, and certainly it is one of the

Wadsworth himself, is made to tell the story of the charter and its hiding, in language that is undisguisedly hodiernal, and with many interpolations of matter remotely or not at all connected with the main theme. The chapters on the Royal oak, on Cromwell, and on the regicides, are of this irrelevant nature. The wording, and still more the spelling, of Joseph Wadsworth’s will, which is printed in full, are so strikingly in contrast with the modernity of his supposed narrative, that not the faintest touch of illusion can cling to the latter.
