An Overview of Virtualization Technologies for Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is a new concept that incorporates many existing technologies, such as virtualization. Virtualization is important for the establishment of cloud computing. With virtualization, cloud computing can virtualize the hardware resources into a huge resource pool for users to utilize. This thesis begins with an introduction to how a widely used service model classifies cloud computing into three layers. From the bottom up, they are IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS. Some service provides are taken as examples for each service model, such as Amazon
Beanstalk and Google App Engine for PaaS; Amazon CloudFormation and Microsoft mCloud for IaaS. Next, we turn our discussion to the hypervisors and the technologies for virtualizing hardware resources, such as CPUs, memory, and devices. Then, storage and network virtualization techniques are discussed. Finally, the conclusions and the future directions of virtualization are drawn.
