What Is Cloud Computing ?

Cloud computing is the on-demand delivery of computing resources like networks, servers, storage, applications and services over the internet on a pay-per-use basis. Resources can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort. Examples of resources include networks, servers, storage, applications and services. Cloud computing has characteristics like on-demand self-service, broad network access, resource pooling, rapid elasticity, and measured service. There are public, private, hybrid and community deployment models as well as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS) service models.

What is Cloud Computing ?

Cloud computing is the ​delivery ​of the on-demand ​resources ​that can be rapidly provisioned
and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction over the
internet for a ​pay-for-use basis​.
What are these resources ?
Examples of computing resources include: networks, servers, storage, applications, and
services.
Characteristics of Cloud Computing:
1. On-demand self service:​ We can choose the services we want using a simple
interface without any interactions with the service’s provider.
2. Broad-network access: ​We can access the resources via the network through
standard mechanisms and platforms such as mobile phones, tablets, laptops …
3. Resource Pooling​: Resources are dynamically assigned and reassigned, according
to demand, without customers needing to concern themselves with the physical
location of these resources.
4. Rapid Elasticity:​ means that you can access more resources when you need them,
and scale back when you don’t need them.​.
5. Measured service:​ means that we pay for only what we use.
Deployment models of Cloud Computing services:
1. Public cloud:​ when we use cloud services over the internet on hardware owned by
the cloud provider, but its usage is shared by other companies.
2. Private cloud:​ means that cloud is dedicated for exclusive use by a single
organization.
3. Hybrid cloud:​ When we use a mix of both public and private cloud, working together
continuously.
4. Community cloud​: ​The cloud infrastructure is managed and built by a leading
organization of a specific community and shared between the organizations of that
community.

Service models of Cloud Computing:


These service models are based on 3 layers, infrastructure, platform and applications.
1. IaaS - infrastructure as a service:​ You ​get access​ to infrastructure and physical
computing resources such as servers, networking, storage and data center space
without the need to manage or operate them.
2. Paas - platform as a service:​ You g ​ et access ​to the hardware and software tools
needed
3. Saas - software as a service:​ is a software licensing and delivery model in which
software and applications are centrally hosted and licensed on a subscription basis.
