Abstract

Recently, Cloud computing has become a very attractive computing paradigm which aims to provide reliable and customized computing environments for widespread Internet users. In our paper, we give a survey of cloud computing, which highlight its key concepts, architecture, state-of-the-art implementation, and some main challenges. The purpose of this paper is to provide a good guidance of the design challenges of cloud computing and also demonstrate several important research directions in this area.
