BUILDING APPLICATION IN THE CLOUD

V predstavitvi so opisani koncepti računalništva v oblaku. Najprej smo predstavili klasifikacijo po nivojih, na katerih lahko uporabljamo storitve v oblaku, in si pri tem ogledali ponudbe trenutno najpomembnejših ponudnikov posameznih nivojev. V nadaljevanju smo se osredotočili na ponudbo plaftorme Windows Azure, saj smo z njeno pomočjo razvili aplikacijo, ki se izvaja v oblaku. Pri tem smo preučili storitve, katere nam trenutno ponuja platforma Windows Azure, in si zraven tega ogledali še, kakšne so vizije zaračunavanja za posamezne storitve. Končni produkt diplomske naloge je bila spletna aplikacija, ki se izvaja v oblaku in za svoje delovanje uporablja množico storitev omenjene platforme.The present dissertation deals with the concepts of cloud computing. As there are several recognized layers in cloud computing, we first introduced classification by layers and studied the most important vendors offering services in one or more of the layers. In addition, we focused on the Windows Azure platform. We used Windows Azure to develop an application that runs in the cloud. We studied services currently offered by Windows Azure platform and pricing strategies for each service. The final result of the present dissertation is a web application that runs in a cloud, using a wide range of services provided by the above-mentioned platform
