Cloud computing
is an Internet Cloud, a technology emerging and advancing rapidly in
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) attributed
to its flexibility of using computing resources on a pay-as-you-go
basis. Computing resources are delivered on-demand over the Internet. Some of
the services include: Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service
(PaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), and all these services can be
deployed either in public, private or hybrid model. Today data centres are
highly configured with advanced servers supporting such kind of trends in
computing. Servers in data centres remain idle when not in use. This server can
be switched off or put in sleep mode to reduce energy consumption [1]. The Infrastructure
as a Service (IaaS) layer is the pool of computing resources, storage and network fabrics, the fast becoming
services in cloud computing, it provides computing resources for small to large
scale. Services like computer resource (Amazon EC2), database, and storage
(Amazon S3) are some of the services which are widely used. An API (Application
Programming Interface) is used to access the infrastructure with a dashboard to
control the server and to create and manage different Virtual Machines (VM) and
other services in the data centre.
