MPI primarily addresses the message-passing parallel

programming model: data is moved from the address space of one
process to that of another process through cooperative operations
on each process. Based on Master and slave concept.
Practical portable efficient flexible. [3]

1. INTRODUCTION

3.1 How does MPI works.

The importance of cloud computing is increasing dramatically,

now with more need to high computing capabilities. Resource,
service on demand, so in need to able cloud providers
e.g.(Amazon, OpenStack) to communicate with each other , here
is the need for modeling languages appears, if a customer have
some data on different servers he cant copy from provider to
other or merge them, as every provider have his own way of
deploying the cloud. Then we will talk about cloud Automat
models chef and puppet.

Master reads some data. Other processors wait for the master.
MPI transfer the data to slaves.
Slaves process tasks which were assigned to them by master.
Then return back the result to master.

2. Cloud Computing Characteristics

Cloud computing have many Characteristics
We will briefly discuss the main Characteristics here.

2.1 Virtual
As it is based on an infra-structure usually the customer
dont know about it, and the user create one virtual machine based
on his own needs.

2.2 Secure
It is almost secure as you need to provide username and
password for you own authentication and authorization. In
Amazon web server there are both AWS Identity and Access
Management (IAM) is AWS Multi-Factor Authentication (AWS
MFA).which provide extra layer of protection than AWS IAM.

2.3 Flexible and scalable

You can assign you required amount of virtual machines
based on your needs and also you can choose auto scaling which
increase the amount of resources based on your application.

2.4 Affordable
Many Providers now days give you cheap prices based on your
usage, even some providers gave you 1 month free trial like
Amazon.

3. Message Passing Interface MPI

MPI is a specification for the developers and users of message
passing libraries. By itself, it is NOT a library - but rather the
specification of what such a library should be.

4. Standardizing Cloud Technology

Its important problem which associated with cloud
computing which is the lack of standardization in the vendor
providers. Since no proper standards for cloud computing are set
yet, here is the need of Unified Modeling Language appears.[5]

servers or 500,000 servers. It's no wonder that Chef has been

chosen by companies like Facebook and Amazon for missioncritical challenges.

6.2 Puppet
Puppet is a declarative, model-based approach to IT automation,
helping you manage infrastructure throughout its lifecycle, from
provisioning and configuration to orchestration and reporting.
Using Puppet, you can easily automate repetitive tasks, quickly
deploy critical applications, and proactively manage change,
scaling from 10s of servers to 1000s, on premise or in the
cloud.[7]
Figure 3 Cloud Modeling language examples

6.2.1 How Puppet Works

Define the desired state of the infrastructure's configuration
using Puppet's declarative configuration language.

6.IT Automation

Simulate configuration changes before enforcing them.

When you do every day boring tasks when it can be done

by a software program can do it for you. Automation
software has made the lives of many business owners less
stressful by freeing up employee time for more important
jobs, and saving money.

Enforce the deployed desired state automatically, correcting

any configuration drift.

6.1 Chef
Chef is an automation platform that transforms infrastructure into
code. Stop thinking in terms of physical and virtual servers. With
Chef, your real asset is the code that brings those servers and the
services they provide to life.[6]

6.1.1Chef advantages
Whether your network is in the cloud, on-site, or a hybrid,
Chef can automate how you configure, deploy and scale your
servers and applications, whether you manage 5 servers, 5,000
