Abstract

Many people wonder how cloud computing is capable of providing resource sharing with elasticity using the same physical hardware infrastructure for different users who deal with different kinds of computing tasks. What is it that facilitates the offering of infrastructure or a platform or software to many users in a multi-tenancy environment? What are the key technologies that enable the cloud to take its solid shape? The objective of this chapter is to present answers to these questions. By the end of this chapter the reader should have an understanding of the key technological foundations of cloud computing.
