INTRODUCTION TO

CLOUD COMPUTING
BY: JERIMAR MACATUGGAL, MSIT
WHAT IS CLOUD
COMPUTING?
Cloud Computing

- The official definition from the National Institute of


Standards and Technology reads:
"Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-
demand network access to a shared pool of configurable
computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage,
applications and services) that can be rapidly provisioned
and released with minimal management effort or service
provider interaction."
Cloud Computing
- the term "cloud" in cloud computing comes from the use of cloud-shaped
symbols to represent the internet in diagrams and network diagrams. These
symbols were used to denote a network that was not well-defined or
controlled, but rather, appeared to be a hazy or undefined mass of
computing resources.

- the term was later adopted by the technology industry to refer to the
collection of computing resources that are available over the internet. Cloud
computing is based on the idea of providing on-demand access to shared
computing resources, such as servers, storage, applications, and services,
over a network, usually the internet.
Cloud Computing

The use of the term "cloud" in cloud computing implies that the
underlying infrastructure is not visible to the end-user, and that the
computing resources are abstracted away from the physical
hardware that provides them. This allows users to access the
computing resources they need without having to worry about
the underlying infrastructure or where it is located.
Cloud Computing
On-Demand Self-Service

With cloud computing, you can provision computing


services, like server time and network storage,
automatically. You won’t need to interact with the service
provider. Cloud customers can access their cloud
accounts through a web self-service portal to view their
cloud services, monitor their usage, and provision and de-
provision services.
Broad Network Access

Another essential cloud computing characteristic is broad


network access. You can access cloud services over the
network and on portable devices like:
- mobile phones, tablets, laptops, and desktop
computers.
A public cloud uses the internet; a private cloud uses a
local area network. Latency and bandwidth both play a
major role in cloud computing and broad network access,
as they affect the quality of service.
Resource Pooling

 multiple customers can share physical resources using a multi-


tenant model. This model assigns and reassigns physical and
virtual resources based on demand. Multi-tenancy allows
customers to share the same applications or infrastructure
while maintaining privacy and security. Though customers
won't know the exact location of their resources, they may be
able to specify the location at a higher level of abstraction,
such as a country, state, or data center. Memory, processing,
and bandwidth are among the resources that customers can
pool.
Rapid Elasticity

customers can scale quickly based on demand. The


capabilities available for provisioning are practically
unlimited. Customers can engage with these capabilities
at any time in any quantity. Customers can also scale
cloud use, capacity, and cost without extra contracts or
fees. With rapid elasticity, you won’t need to buy
computer hardware. Instead, can use the cloud
provider's cloud computing resources/storage.
Measured Service

In cloud systems, a metering capability optimizes resource


usage at a level of abstraction appropriate to the type of
service. For example, you can use a measured service for
storage, processing, bandwidth, and users. Payment is
based on actual consumption by the customer via a pay-
for-what-you-use model. Monitoring, controlling, and
reporting resource use creates a transparent experience
for both consumers and providers of the service.
Measured Service

Every component is measured to deliver a precisely


configured product to the consumer. CPU performance,
memory utilization, available applications, network
bandwidth, and any aspect of your cloud solution is
measured. This allows the IT staff to deliver a service that
performs at a level that meets the end user’s
expectations, while at the same time provides upper
management with accurate numbers with which to
measure the total cost of ownership and return on
investment generated by the infrastructure.
Other Cloud Computing Characteristics

 Resiliency and Availability


Resilience in cloud computing refers to the ability of a service to recover quickly from any disruption.
Cloud resiliency is measured by how fast its servers, databases, and networks restart and recover after any
damage. To prevent data loss, cloud services create a copy of the stored data. If one server loses data for
any reason, the copy version from the other server restores.
 Availability is a related key concept in cloud computing. The benefit of cloud services is that you can
access them remotely, so there are no geographic restrictions when using cloud resources.
 Flexibility
Companies need to scale as their business grows. The cloud provides customers with more freedom to
scale as they please without restarting the server. They can also choose from several payment options to
avoid overspending on resources they won't need.
 Remote Work
Cloud computing helps users work remotely. Remote workers can safely and quickly access corporate
data via their devices, including laptops and smartphones. Employees who work remotely can also
communicate with each other and perform their jobs effectively using the cloud.
Deployment Methods

4 Deployment Models
Community Cloud
Provisioned for exclusive use by a specific
community of consumers from organizations
that have shared concerns (e.g., mission,
security requirements, policy, and
Public Cloud compliance considerations). The cloud
Provisioned for open use by any consumer (e.g., infrastructure may be owned, managed,
business, academic, government). The cloud and operated by one or more of the
infrastructure may be owned, managed, and organizations in the community, a third
operated by the consumer, a third party, or a party, or some combination of them, and it

Hybrid Cloud
Private Cloud A composition of two or more distinct cloud
Provisioned for exclusive use by a single deployment models (i.e., private,
consumer. The cloud infrastructure may be community, public) that remain unique

(e.g., cloud bursting for load balancing
between clouds).
Operational
Responsibilities

in Operations and
Management (O&M)
responsibilities between
the cloud consumers and
the Cloud Service
Providers (CSPs) for each
cloud service model (i.e.,
IaaS, PaaS, SaaS).
