The Future of Cloud ... Chandra Krintz Professor Dept. of Computer Science UC Santa Barbara ckrintz@cs.ucsb.edu Cloud Computing Status and Future Panel IEEE Services Conference Federation (SCF) June 26th, 2017
The First Decade of Cloud Technologies The Good Self service, low-cost access Scalable utility computing Configuration mgmt API and service oriented
The First Decade of Cloud Technologies The Bad Your credit card, pricing models Availability SLAs only + outages Learning curve Code and data gravity DevOps vs NoOps The Good Self service, low-cost access Scalable utility computing Configuration mgmt API and service oriented
The Future of Cloud (Unsolved Challenges) The Bad Your credit card, pricing models Availability SLAs only + outages Learning curve Code and data gravity DevOps vs NoOps The Good Self service, low-cost access Scalable utility computing Configuration mgmt API and service oriented The Ugly Image/instance/service sprawl No incentive to reach across aisle Resources are increasingly heterogeneous Lacks debugging/opt/anomaly support Used for things it was NOT designed for
Some Potential Directions (Back to the Future?) Program components are smaller & increasingly functional! Functions-as-a-service and event-driven systems Execution contexts: Containerized env w/ quality control Cross-cloud programming systems API-driven & geo-distributed services (higher-level abstraction) Platform management of heterogeneity: from small to tall Autonomous management (subject to the SLA!) Degraded and disconnected: execution and resiliency Privacy guards, security response Programming language/runtime support for the best of above
