How to Create a Cloud Computing Diagram Using ConceptDraw PRO

Cloud computing is a model of remote access to shared computing resources that are physically distributed in many remote devices. Cloud Computing is a technology that allows to use the Internet to place computing resources and the provision of such services to customers. Using cloud computing means assigning responsibilities on applications and data storage service among special systems, which have a very high level of reliability and unlimited resources. The result is reducing the cost of service, and to providing users with ready-to-use service.
ConceptDraw's Cloud Computing Diagrams solution allows you to visualize cloud computing models of any configuration and complexity.

"Cloud computing allows application software to be operated using internet-enabled devices. Clouds can be classified as public, private, and hybrid. ...
Cloud computing relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economies of scale, similar to a utility (like the electricity grid) over a network. At the foundation of cloud computing is the broader concept of converged infrastructure and shared services.
Cloud computing, or in simpler shorthand just "the cloud", also focuses on maximizing the effectiveness of the shared resources. Cloud resources are usually not only shared by multiple users but are also dynamically reallocated per demand. This can work for allocating resources to users. ... This approach should maximize the use of computing power thus reducing environmental damage as well since less power, air conditioning, rack space, etc. are required for a variety of functions. With cloud computing, multiple users can access a single server to retrieve and update their data without purchasing licenses for different applications." [Cloud computing. Wikipedia]

"Network Mapping Software.
A number of software tools exist to design computer network diagrams / or generate visual maps of networks, servers, storage, services, data centers, and other peripherals. Broadly, there are two types of software tools - those that help create diagrams manually and those that generate them using automated / semi-automated approaches.
Type of Software.
(1) Manual - allows users to design and draw logical and physical topology diagrams by manually placing icons and connections.
(2) Automated - generate topology diagrams / maps by traversing the network and automatically discovering resident devices or by importing network data." [Comparison of network diagram software. Wikipedia]
ConceptDraw PRO is the software for manual design of computer network diagrams. The solutions of the Computer and Networks area in ConceptDraw Solution Park extend ConceptDraw PRO with vector stencils libraries, templates and examples for creating the computer network diagrams.

"Though service-oriented architecture advocates "everything as a service" (with the acronyms EaaS or XaaS or simply aas), cloud-computing providers offer their "services" according to different models, which happen to form a stack: infrastructure-, platform- and software-as-a-service.
Infrastructure as a service (IaaS)
In the most basic cloud-service model ... providers of IaaS offer computers — physical or (more often) virtual machines — and other resources. IaaS refers to online services that abstract the user from the details of infrastructure like physical computing resources, location, data partitioning, scaling, security, backup etc.
Platform as a service (PaaS)
PaaS vendors offer a development environment to application developers. The provider typically develops toolkit and standards for development and channels for distribution and payment. In the PaaS models, cloud providers deliver a computing platform, typically including operating system, programming-language execution environment, database, and web server. Application developers can develop and run their software solutions on a cloud platform without the cost and complexity of buying and managing the underlying hardware and software layers.
Software as a service (SaaS)
In the software as a service (SaaS) model, users gain access to application software and databases. Cloud providers manage the infrastructure and platforms that run the applications. SaaS is sometimes referred to as "on-demand software" and is usually priced on a pay-per-use basis or using a subscription fee.
In the SaaS model, cloud providers install and operate application software in the cloud and cloud users access the software from cloud clients. Cloud users do not manage the cloud infrastructure and platform where the application runs. This eliminates the need to install and run the application on the cloud user's own computers, which simplifies maintenance and support. Cloud applications differ from other applications in their scalability — which can be achieved by cloning tasks onto multiple virtual machines at run-time to meet changing work demand."

Grid computing system architecture

This example of cloud computing system architecture diagram was redesigned from the Wikimedia Commons file: ArchitectureCloudLinksSameSite.png. [commons.wikimedia.org/ wiki/ File:ArchitectureCloudLinksSameSite.png]
"An example showing a grid computing system connecting many personal computers over the Internet using inter-process network communication ...
In computer science, inter-process communication (IPC) is the activity of sharing data across multiple and commonly specialized processes using communication protocols. Typically, applications using IPC are categorized as clients and servers, where the client requests data and the server responds to client requests." [en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/ Inter-process_ communication]
"Grid computing is the collection of computer resources from multiple locations to reach a common goal. The grid can be thought of as a distributed system with non-interactive workloads that involve a large number of files. Grid computing is distinguished from conventional high performance computing systems such as cluster computing in that grid computers have each node set to perform a different task/ application. Grid computers also tend to be more heterogeneous and geographically dispersed (thus not physically coupled) than cluster computers." [Grid computing. Wikipedia]

Design elements - Azure architecture - Virtual machines

The vector stencils library "Azure architecture - Virtual machines" contains 17 Virtual machines symbols.
Use this cloud computing icon set to design your Azure architecture diagrams with ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software.
"A virtual machine (VM) is a software implementation of a machine (for example, a computer) that executes programs like a physical machine. Virtual machines are separated into two major classes, based on their use and degree of correspondence to any real machine:
(1) A system virtual machine provides a complete system platform which supports the execution of a complete operating system (OS). These usually emulate an existing architecture, and are built with the purpose of either providing a platform to run programs where the real hardware is not available for use (for example, executing on otherwise obsolete platforms), or of having multiple instances of virtual machines leading to more efficient use of computing resources, both in terms of energy consumption and cost effectiveness (known as hardware virtualization, the key to a cloud computing environment), or both.
(2) A process virtual machine (also, language virtual machine) is designed to run a single program, which means that it supports a single process." [Virtual machine. Wikipedia]

Scheduler agent supervisor pattern

This Azure cloud architecture pattern diagram template was created on the base of figure in the article "Scheduler Agent Supervisor Pattern" from the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) website.
"Scheduler Agent Supervisor Pattern.
Coordinate a set of actions across a distributed set of services and other remote resources, attempt to transparently handle faults if any of these actions fail, or undo the effects of the work performed if the system cannot recover from a fault. This pattern can add resiliency to a distributed system by enabling it to recover and retry actions that fail due to transient exceptions, long-lasting faults, and process failures. ...
An application performs tasks that comprise a number of steps, some of which may invoke remote services or access remote resources. The individual steps may be independent of each other, but they are orchestrated by the application logic that implements the task.
Whenever possible, the application should ensure that the task runs to completion and resolve any failures that might occur when accessing remote services or resources. ...
If the application detects a more permanent fault from which it cannot easily recover, it must be able to restore the system to a consistent state and ensure integrity of the entire end-to-end operation. ...
The Scheduler Agent Supervisor pattern defines the following actors. These actors orchestrate the steps (individual items of work) to be performed as part of the task (the overall process):
- The Scheduler arranges for the individual steps that comprise the overall task to be executed and orchestrates their operation. ...
- The Agent contains logic that encapsulates a call to a remote service, or access to a remote resource referenced by a step in a task. ...
- The Supervisor monitors the status of the steps in the task being performed by the Scheduler. ...
The Scheduler, Agent, and Supervisor are logical components and their physical implementation depends on the technology being used." [msdn.microsoft.com/ ru-RU/ library/ dn589780.aspx]
