Abstract

Cloud computing has a huge importance and big impact nowadays on the IT world. The idea of community clouds has emerged recently in order to satisfy several user expectations. Clouds are distributed technology platforms that leverage sophisticated technology innovations to provide highly scalable and resilient environments that can be remotely utilized by organizations in a multitude of powerful ways. To successfully build upon, integrate with, or even create a cloud environment requires an understanding of its common inner mechanics, architectural layers, and models, as well as an understanding of the business and economic factors that result from the adoption and real-world use of cloud-based services. Albanian Cloud Community is an Albanian project that aims to provide a design and implementation of a self-configured, fully distributed, decentralized, scalable and robust cloud for a community of users across a community network. One of the aspects to analyze in this design is which kind of Virtual Private Network (VPN) is going to be used to interconnect the nodes of the community members interested in access cloud services. In this thesis we will study, compare and analyze the possibility of using Tinc, IPOP or SDN-based solutions such as OpenFlow to establish such a VPN.
