I am doing a research project with my friend on cloud computing. The project requires us to create a web application using Drupal(content management system) and deploy the same on our own private cloud set up. I knew there are some third parties(like amazon, google etc) that provide us cloud set-up. But, our project requires us to create our own cloud environment with the available servers in our lab. We are new to this topic and kind of help up. Any help on this topic would be greatly Appreciated.

Sathish

Have you taken a look at the following pieces of software?
Eucalyptus: Very easy to install using the Ubuntu Enteprise Cloud distribution, offers the same API as AWS
OpenStack: Never used it personally (but considering it for a future project), development started by the NASA, now deployed on different high-profile providers, such as RackSpace

You can use our free Drupal AMIs in Amazon EC2 and with Eucalyptus. If you'd prefer to, you can download VMWare images from the same page (they are also free).

Eucalyptus and OpenStack are open source tools, you could set up private cloud with them, but will need time and effort. If you are not limited to use open source, try Nimbula Director 2.0 , this is a enterprise product to set up a private cloud that and is free to use up to 40 cores. Keep me posted on what you chose or if you found a better one.

I always host wordpress with Godaddy and bluehost but now my client asked if it will be possible to host it in Google cloud platform if it is better.
My question are:
1- What are the benefit I will get comparing to other hosting?
2- what is the annual price? I checked it in Google but it is not clearly mentioned. It only says you pay based on usage.

3- Does they provide an easy access to cpanel ( file manager – database and phpmyadmin).
4- Do I need to have developer skills to use it? Or they will provide 24 hours support?
Thanks in advance
That's totally different. Google cloud platform using Cloud server and it can't compare with traditional shared hosting and of course the fee will be more expensive.
Yes, you can check directly via that link. I never use Google, but I use Azure. My experience Azure is very costly, but the deployment is very easy. The cost that I need to pay at that time is 6 times higher than my shared hosting. So, I moved back to shared hosting again.
You can login directly to the server
You need to know about managing server

I have been learning about Rest APIs and I just created my first one in Visual Studio. Now I would like to put it on the internet so I can call to it rather than calling localhost. For the amount of information on how to create an API there isn't much information on how to deploy it.
My API is very simple and not very useful. It is more of a learning exercise to me. So I was wondering what is the free or cheap way of getting it on the internet.
Every ASP.NET project is deployed the same way. You hit publish and upload the files to a web server (be it your own computer with public IP address or hosting you pay for). If you are using a database you may need to setup that too and tweak the connection string in the config file.

I would like to integrate a "virtual blackboard" functionality with my e-learning website. I would like users to be able to participate in "meetings", with the following functionality:
chat (optionaly voice chat/videochat)
virtual blackboard (collaborative drawing)
screensharing (so one of the users can present material like pictures to other users)
ideally Flash or Java applet based (so users wouldn't have to install any additional software - but this is not a requirement, as long as setup wouldn't be too cumbersome)
I guess there are no free solutions, so I'm looking for a paid one. It would be best if users didn't have to set up separate accounts to participate in meetings. Perhaps they could just click on a link with the meeting id.
I googled a little and looked at Adobe Connect Pro. Are there any alternatives that you can recommend?
Checkout BigBlueButton http://www.bigbluebutton.org/
BigBlueButton is an active open source
project that focuses on usability,
modularity, and clean design -- both
for the user and the developer. The
project is hosted at Google Code
http://code.google.com/p/bigbluebutton/
It's not hard to create one with only JavaScript. Then the user really doesn't have to install anything, unlike with Flash or Java.
A pretty good tutorial is here, and additionally Ajax: The Definitive Guide has a good tutorial around Ch. 20 ish.
Influxis also has some Flash based meeting software apps and gives you the source code, so that you may extend them, if you are interested in that.

I am aware of a tool which MS has provided which tells you about coss site scripting attack etc.
The tool is http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=0178e2ef-9da8-445e-9348-c93f24cc9f9d&displaylang=en
But are there tools which you have used for ASP .NET applications which do similar to this and which one is widely used in ASP .Net applications ?
Unfortunately CAT.NET is as good as dead so you can rule that one out.
In terms of XSS detection, if you're wanting to test vulnerabilities in an existing app you need not constrain yourself to static code analysis or .NET specific tools. There are plenty of language agnostic scanners out there you can run against the URL of an existing site.
One I've found very useful in the past is Netsparker from Mavituna Security. This is really easy to get up and running with (download it, enter a URL in a nice UI, run the scan) and the results are easily interpretable. You can grab a free community version which will identify persistent and reflective XSS (among other vulnerabilities) or pay for a licensed edition with a heap of additional features.
Are you thinking of the Web Protection Library?

I have a web application deployed on a jboss server running on a unix machine.
I want to be able to monitor threads, CPU times ,requests, etc. , for gauging application performance on the server.
What might be the best way to do this?
The jboss.system:type=ServerInfo MBean provides several attributes that can be used to monitor the thread and memory usage in a JBoss instance.
A few open source tools for remote monitoring and administration using Java Management Extensions (JMX)
Jmanage
mx4j
mc4j
There is also RHQ that offers a lot more than just monitoring like alerting on (changed) values, can run operations on the servers (restart etc), can make config changes and also deploy applications on the server (or whole servers on a machine).
Solaris/Linux/*BSD? On Solaris and *BSD, you can consider using DTrace as a general application monitoring tool.
