LINUX BASED CLOUD OPERATING SYSTEM

Abstract - Cloud computing is a type of computing in which dynamically scalable and virtualized resources are provided as a service. Users need not have knowledge of, expertise in, or control over the technology infrastructure in the cloud that supports them. Furthermore, cloud computing employs a model for enabling available, convenient and on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. The services mainly operating systems running on a single virtualized computing environment, middleware layers that attempt to combine physical and virtualized resources from multiple operating systems, and specialized application engines. In this paper, we discuss about the virtual distributed operating system, Cloud Operating System, to provide maximum features of cloud computing. The Cloud Operating System will work on the principle laid out by LINUX. The Cloud OS aims to provide simple programming abstractions to available cloud resources, strong isolation techniques be tween Cloud processes, and strong integration with network resources .
