Cloud Computing
Cloud Overview
Cloud computing involves large numbers of computers connected through a network that can be physically located anywhere.
-
Cloud Models
Public Clouds
Cloud-based applications and services offered in a public cloud are made available to the general population.
Private Clouds
are intended for a specific organization or entity, such as the government
Hybrid Clouds
is made up of two or more clouds where each part remains a separate object, but both are connected using a single architecture.

Virtualization
-
Dedicated Servers
The major problem with this configuration is that when a component fails, the service that is provided by this server becomes unavailable.
Server virtualization
Server virtualization takes advantage of idle resources and consolidates the number of required servers. This also allows for multiple operating systems to exist on a single hardware platform.

Type 2 Hypervisors
A Type 2 hypervisor is software that creates and runs VM instances. The computer, on which a hypervisor is supporting one or more VMs, is a host machine.

Spine-Leaf Topology
The Cisco ACI fabric is composed of the APIC and the Cisco Nexus 9000 series switches using two-tier spine-leaf topology
SDN Types
Device-based SDN
In this type of SDN, the devices are programmable by applications running on the device itself or on a server in the network
-
Policy-based SDN
This type of SDN is similar to controller-based SDN where a centralized controller has a view of all devices in the network
APIC-EM Features
Cisco APIC-EM is an example of policy-based SDN. Cisco APIC-EM provides a single interface for network management
APIC-EM Path Trace
The APIC-EM Path Trace tool allows the administrator to easily visualize traffic flows and discover any conflicting, duplicate, or shadowed ACL entries. This tool examines specific ACLs on the path between two end nodes, displaying any potential issues.
