E-learning system is the key technology development trend which provides delivery and distribution of the learning contents to the end users who are from diverse environment, and having different interest, and destined away from a classroom. It also facilitates maximization of the flexibility and effectiveness of the learning system. The recent advancement in the information and communication technology offers the better IT solution in E-learning which has the potential to provide the adequate information required by the end users where education field throughout the world becomes unexceptional case. Penetration of the contemporary tools and techniques of an E-learning system using cloud is an emerging trend. There is an increasing interest in E-learning systems based on cloud computing architecture for providing the resources on the demand basis. In this paper we developed and deployed an E-learning application in private cloud (Cluster based Environment) using open source technologies like Eucalyptus, VMware and euca2ools. This paper presents the cloud computing architecture for the E-learning system that helps to achieve scalability, persistent storage, distributed access, efficient resource usage and interoperability of the E-learning system objects.
