Types of Cloud Computing
- Public Cloud o Services are delivered over the public internet and shared among multiple organizations.
o Examples: Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform.
- Private Cloud o Services are maintained on a private network, providing more control and security. o Examples: Internal corporate clouds, dedicated data centers.
- Hybrid Cloud o Combines public and private clouds, allowing data and applications to be shared between them. o Examples: A company uses private cloud for sensitive data and public cloud for scalable resources.
- Community Cloud o Shared infrastructure for a specific community of users with common concerns. o Examples: Government agencies sharing resources and compliance requirements.
Key Concepts and Terminologies
- Virtualization: Creating virtual versions of physical resources, allowing multiple virtual machines to run on a single physical machine.
- Scalability: The ability to increase or decrease resources as needed to handle varying workloads.
- Elasticity: The ability to automatically scale resources up or down based on demand.
- Pay-as-You-Go: Billing model where users are charged based on actual resource usage.
- Multi-Tenancy: Multiple customers share the same physical infrastructure while keeping their data isolated.
o Allows for quick scaling of resources to meet changing demands. o Provides flexibility to access resources from anywhere with an internet connection.
- Disaster Recovery o Offers robust backup and recovery solutions, minimizing downtime and data loss. o Ensures business continuity in case of disasters.
- Collaboration o Enhances collaboration by providing access to shared data and applications. o Facilitates real-time collaboration among team members, regardless of location.
- Innovation o Facilitates rapid deployment of new services and applications. o Encourages experimentation and innovation with minimal upfront costs.
Understanding these fundamentals lays the groundwork for exploring more advanced topics and practical applications of cloud computing. It sets the stage for a deeper dive into the various aspects of cloud services, architecture, security, and more in the following chapters.
- Hosting websites and applications.
- Storage and backup solutions.
- High-performance computing. Platform as a Service (PaaS) PaaS provides a platform that allows developers to build, deploy, and manage applications without worrying about the underlying infrastructure. It includes
development tools, middleware, and database management systems. Features:
- Pre-configured development environment.
- Supports multiple programming languages and frameworks.
- Automates infrastructure management tasks. Examples:
- Google App Engine.
- Microsoft Azure App Service.
- Heroku. Use Cases:
- Developing web and mobile applications.
- API management.
- Data analytics and machine learning.
- No need for software installation or maintenance.
- Regular updates and security patches provided by the service provider. Examples:
- Google Workspace (formerly G Suite).
- Microsoft Office 365.
- Salesforce. Use Cases:
- Email and collaboration tools.
- Customer relationship management (CRM).
- Project management and productivity software.
