Abstract

Computing ‘on the cloud’ is about building Internet applications utilising the computing services and resources provided by a third party. With companies such as Amazon, Google and Microsoft offering inexpensive utility computing service, it is becoming an increasingly attractive option for hosting enterprise applications. This report proposes an architecture and design for hosting one such application, namely distributed file processing system, using the Amazon Web Services platform. The proposed design combines the best features of the work carried out by three MSc. SDIA groups as part of the Group Project module. It is extensible, scalable and addresses the challenges in ensuring at most once semantics.
