Fog computing is new buzz word in computing world after
cloud computing. Main aim of fog computing is to reduce
the burden on cloud by gathering workloads, services,
applications and huge data to near network edge. Here
we discus about the various characteristics of fog
computing. That are
 Mobility
 Location awareness
 Low latency
 Huge number of nodes
 Extensive geographical distribution
 Various real time application
 WHAT IS FOG

Fog consist of visible cloud water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the air at or

near the earth’s surface. Fog has affected many human activities, such as shipping,

travel, and warfare.

 FOG COMPUTING

Fog computing is a term created by Cisco that refers to extending cloud computing

to the edge of an enterprise's network. Also known as Edge Computing or fogging,

fog computing facilitates the operation of compute, storage and networking

services between end devices and cloud computing data centers.

 Fog computing

Fog computing is of two types

Service models

Deployments order
 Service model

 Software as a Service (SaaS)

 Platform as a Service (PaaS)

 Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

Software as a Service (SaaS)
Platform as a Service (PaaS)
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) : This model provide the facility
: This model provide the facility to
the user to pay for any
application or service to access
anywhere any time from the
cloud. This model uses third party
vendor.
: This model provide the facility to
the user to pay for the access to
the platforms, allow them to
deploy their own applications
and software in the cloud.
to the user to manage and
control the systems in terms of
the applications.
Deployment Order

Private cloud

Community cloud

Public cloud

Hybrid cloud
Private Cloud : This cloud infrastructure has been deployed, operated and is

maintained by a particular organization and not shared with

other organizations

Community cloud : This cloud infrastructure is shared with a number of

organizations with similar requirements and interests.

Public cloud : This cloud infrastructure is available to the public on a
commercial basis by a cloud service provider. This model
provides an on-demand solution Payment is made on a per
use basis.

Hybrid cloud : This cloud infrastructure is combination of clouds of any type.

This can be a combination of public and private clouds or
public or community cloud according to the need of services
and applications required by the end user.
 HISTORY

Cisco introduced its fog computing vision in January 2014 as a way of

bringing cloud computing capabilities to the edge of the network and
as a result, closer to the rapidly growing number of connected devices
and applications that consume cloud services and generate
increasingly massive amounts of data.
The design of fog architecture or the key components of fog architecture are discussed below:

 Heterogeneous Physical Resources

 Fog Abstraction Layer

 Fog Service Orchestration Layer

 Foglet Software Agent

 Distributed Database

 Policy-Based Service Orchestration

 Heterogeneous Physical Resources : Heterogeneous in nature, ranging from high-speed
links connecting enterprise data centers and the core
to multiple wireless access technologies towards the
edge. 3G/4G, LTE, Wi-Fi etc.

• Fog Abstraction Layer : - A uniform and programmable interface for seamless

resource management an d control.
- The layer provides generic APIs for monitoring,
provisioning and controlling physical resources such
as CPU, memory, network and energy.

 Fog Service Orchestration Layer : Provides dynamic, policy-based life-cycle

management of Fog services.
 Foglet Software Agent : Managing services on a large volume of Fog nodes with
a wide range of capabilities is achieved with the
following technology and components

 Distributed Database : It persistent storage to store policies and resource meta-

data

 Policy-Based Service
Orchestration : It provides policy-based service routing, i.e., routes an
incoming service request to the appropriate service
instance that confirms to the relevant business policies.
 Fog can be distinguished from Cloud by its proximity to end-users.

 The dense geographical distribution and its support for mobility.

 It provides low latency, location awareness, and improves quality-of- services(Qos) and real
time applications.
 Existing data protection mechanisms such as encryption was failed in securing the data from
the attackers.

 It does not verify whether the user was authorized or not.

 Cloud computing security does not focus on ways of secure the data from unauthorized
access.
I. Future work will expand on the Fog computing paradigm in Smart Grid. In this scenario,
two models for Fog devices can be developed. Independent Fog devices consult
directly with the Cloud for periodic updates on price and demands, while
interconnected Fog devices may consult each other.

I. Fog computing based SDN in vehicular networks will receive due attention.
Fog computing advantages for services in several domains, such as
Smart Grid, wireless sensor networks, Internet of Things (IoT) and
software defined networks (SDNs). We examine the state- of-the-art
and disclose some general issues in Fog computing including
security, privacy, trust, and service migration among Fog devices
and between Fog and Cloud.
