On Web Services Based Cloud Interoperability
Cloud Computing is a paradigm shift in the field of
Computing. It is moving at an incredible fast pace and one of
the fastest evolving domains of computer science today. It
consist set of technology and service models that concentrates
on the internet base use and delivery of IT applications,
processing capability, storage and memory space. There is a
shift from the traditional in-house servers and applications to
the next generation of cloud computing applications. With
many of the computer giants like Google, Microsoft, etc.
entering into the cloud computing arena, there will be
thousands of applications running on the cloud. There are
several cloud environments available in the market today
which support a huge consumer-base. Eventually this will lead
to a multitude of standards, technologies and products being
provided on the cloud. Consumers will need certain degrees of
flexibility to use the cloud application/services of their choice
and at the same time will need these applications/services to
communicate with each other. This paper emphasizes cloud
computing and provides a solution to achieve Interoperability,
which is in the form of Web Services. The paper will also
provide a Live Case Study where interoperability comes into
play – Connecting Google App Engine and Microsoft
Windows Azure Platform, two of the leading Cloud Platforms
available today. GAE and WAP are two Cloud Frameworks
which have very little in common, making interoperability an
absolute necessary.
