Introduction to Cloud Computing

Introduction ● Cloud Computing is the delivery of
computing services such as servers, data
storage, databases, networking, software,
analytics, and intelligence over the internet
(“cloud”) to offer flexible resources, faster
innovation, and economies of scale.
● Instead of owning data centers,
organizations can rent access to someone
else’s infrastructure like storage,
computing servers, and databases from a
cloud computing service provider and only
pay for resources that they use.

 Public Cloud

Cloud Deployment The public cloud is one in which cloud

infrastructure services are provided over the
Models internet to the general people or major industry
groups.

The infrastructure in this cloud model is owned by

the entity that delivers the cloud services, not by the
consumer. It is a type of cloud hosting that allows
customers and users to easily access systems and
services. This form of cloud computing is an
excellent example of cloud hosting, in which
service providers supply services to a variety of
customers.

Amazon Web Services (AWS), Dropbox, Google

Workspace, Microsoft Azure.
Cloud Deployment Public Cloud Model Advantages

● Minimal Investment
Models ● No setup cost
● Infrastructure Management is not required
● No maintenance
● Dynamic Scalability

Public Cloud Model Disadvantages

● Less secure
● Low customization
 Private Cloud

Cloud Deployment It’s a one-on-one environment for a single user (customer).

There is no need to share your hardware with anyone else.

Cloud Deployment Hybrid Cloud

By bridging the public and private worlds with a layer of

Models proprietary software, hybrid cloud computing gives the best
of both worlds.

Private cloud: fully customizable, robust management,

secure by design

Public cloud: low entry cost, pay as you go, highly elastic

Hybrid cloud (private + public): Scalability, flexibility,

security, cost efficiency

Cloud Deployment Community Cloud

Community clouds are distributed systems created by

Models integrating the services of different clouds to address the
specific needs of an industry, a community, or a business
sector. Community clouds are commonly used in industries
with shared compliance standards, such as healthcare and
government. They facilitate secure collaboration and data
exchange while ensuring compliance with specific
regulations within these sectors.

Community cloud is a social platform from Salesforce.com

that is designed to connect and facilitate communication
among an organization’s employees, partners and
customers.
Cloud Computing 1. Infrastructure
Computing)
as a Service (IaaS in Cloud

Services IaaS provides virtualized computing resources over the

internet. It allows users to rent infrastructure components
like virtual machines, storage, and networking resources on
a pay-as-you-go basis. Users have control over the
operating systems, applications, and development
frameworks running on the infrastructure.

Examples include Amazon Web Services (AWS) EC2,

Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines, and Google Compute
Cloud Computing 2. Platform as a Service (PaaS in Cloud Computing)

PaaS provides a platform allowing customers to develop,

Services run, and manage applications without dealing with the
complexities of building and maintaining the underlying
infrastructure.

It typically includes development tools, database

management systems, middleware, and operating systems.

Users focus on application development and deployment

while the PaaS provider manages the infrastructure.
Examples include Heroku, Google App Engine, and
Microsoft Azure App Service.
Cloud Computing 3. Software as a Service (SaaS in Cloud Computing)

SaaS delivers software applications over the internet on a

Services subscription basis.

Users access the software through a web browser or an API

without needing to install or maintain the application
locally.

The software is hosted and maintained by the SaaS

provider, who handles updates, security, and infrastructure.

Examples include Salesforce, Google Workspace, and

Microsoft Office 365.
Data Analytics Businesses have long used data analytics
to help direct their strategy to maximize
profits. Ideally data analytics helps
eliminate much of the guesswork involved
in trying to understand clients, instead
systemically tracking data patterns to best
construct business tactics and operations to
minimize uncertainty. Not only does
analytics determine what might attract new
customers, often analytics recognizes
existing patterns in data to help better
serve existing customers, which is
typically more cost effective than
establishing new business.
Data Analytics In an ever-changing business world subject
to countless variants, analytics gives
companies the edge in recognizing
changing climates so they can take initiate
appropriate action to stay competitive.
Alongside analytics, cloud computing is
also helping make business more effective
and the consolidation of both clouds and
analytics could help businesses store,
interpret, and process their big data to
better meet their clients’ needs.

Virtualization Virtualization is technology that you can use to create
virtual representations of servers, storage, networks, and
other physical machines.

Virtual software mimics the functions of physical hardware

to run multiple virtual machines simultaneously on a single
physical machine.

Businesses use virtualization to use their hardware

resources efficiently and get greater returns from their
investment. It also powers cloud computing services that
help organizations manage infrastructure more efficiently.

They are installed as any other software application in the

system and perform the task of virtualization. It acts as a
connection between the physical system and virtual
machines to ensure the proper access of the hardware
resources.

known as a bare-metal hypervisor.
● Type2: This type of hypervisor runs as a software
