Introduction To Cloud Computing

Introduction to Cloud
Computing
Cloud computing is one of the emerging and transformative technologies
that is intended to revolutionize access to computing resources at quite a
different level for any business entity or individual. It allows for on-
demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources
over the internet.
What is Cloud Computing?
Cloud computing is a model for delivering computing services —including servers, storage, databases, networking, software,
analytics, and intelligence—over the Internet (“the cloud”).
On-Demand Self-S ervice Broad Network Access Resource Pooling

Users can access and provision Cloud services are available via a Cloud providers maintain a pool of
computing resources as needed, variety of devices, including resources that are shared among
without requiring human interaction computers, smartphones, and multiple users and dynamically

Rapid Elasticity Measured Service

Cloud computing enables the rapid scaling of resources Cloud services are typically priced based on usage,
up or down as needed, adapting to changing demands allowing users to pay only for the resources they
and workloads. consume.
Characteristics of Cloud Computing
Cloud computing is defined by a set of characteristics that set it apart from traditional
models of computing.
1 Shared Resources 2 Pay-as-you-go

Cloud providers pool resources In return, the consumers of cloud
and hence offer them to a large computing services pay only
number of users, creating according to their usage, thus
economies of scale and reducing avoiding upfront investments and
costs. lowering operational costs.
3 Scalability 4 Elasticity

will be rapid adjustments to
changing demands.
Cloud Computing Models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS)
Cloud computing models represent different levels of abstraction, offering varying levels of control and responsibility to us ers.
Infrastructure as a Service Platform as a Service (PaaS) Software as a Service (SaaS)

(IaaS)
PaaS provides a platform both for SaaS means providing software

self-managed infrastructure. in supporting development and
deployment processes.
Cloud Computing Deployment Models (Public, Private,
Hybrid)
Cloud computing deployment models define control, ownership, and access to the cloud computing resource.
Deployment Model Description
Public Cloud These resources are owned and operated by some third-party cloud
provider who, in turn, makes them available to the general public.
Private Cloud Resources are used for one organization only and managed
internally or by a third-party provider.
Hybrid Cloud This technology combines public and private cloud resources, thus
giving an organization all the benefits of both models.
Benefits of Cloud Computing
Cloud computing offers numerous benefits to businesses and individuals, including cost savings, scalability, and flexibility.
1 Cost Reduction 2 Scalability and Flexibility

Cloud computing comes with a lot of perks for businesses and With cloud resources, organizations can easily adjust to
individuals. It helps cut costs, allows you to scale your changing demands and workloads by scaling up or down as
resources as needed, and provides great flexibility. needed. This flexibility makes it easier to stay responsive and
efficient.
3 Increased Productivity 4 Improved Collaboration

Cloud services take care of tasks automatically and simplify Cloud-based applications make it easy for teams and
management, which frees up resources and boosts productivity. individuals to collaborate and share information.
Limitations of Cloud Computing
When it comes to cloud computing there are plenty of advantages to enjoy. It also
comes with its share of obstacles and boundaries that users must take into account.
Security Concerns
When considering cloud computing there are benefits to appreciate.
However it also presents challenges and limitations that users need to
consider.
Vendor Lock-in
R elying much on cloud providers could restrict organizations freedom and
choices.
Network Dependency
Cloud services rely on network connectivity, which can affect performance
and availability.
Compliance Issues
Businesses must make sure they follow all the rules and regulations
related to data security and privacy.
Cloud Computing Applications and Use
Cases
Cloud computing has revolutionized various industries, enabling new applications and use cases that were
previously infeasible.
Email and Collaboration Data Storage and Management

Cloud-based email services like Gmail and Cloud storage services like Amazon S3 and Google
Microsoft Outlook provide reliable and accessible Cloud Storage offer scalable and cost-effective
communication and collaboration tools. solutions for data storage and management.
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) Web Hosting and Content Delivery

VDI solutions allow users to access virtual desktops Cloud hosting services provide reliable and
from any location, improving flexibility and scalable platforms for websites and web
accessibility. applications, ensuring optimal performance and
availability.
Cloud Computing Security and
Privacy Concerns
Security and privacy are paramount concerns in cloud computing, requiring
organizations to implement robust measures to protect sensitive data.
1 Data Encryption 2 Access Control

Encrypting data both in transit Implementing access controls to

vulnerabilities is essential. recovery plans ensures business
continuity in case of data loss or
breaches.
Future Trends and Developments in Cloud
Computing
Cloud computing continues to evolve rapidly, with new trends and technologies emerging to enhance its
capabilities and address emerging challenges.
1 Edge Computing 2 Serverless Computing

Edge computing brings cloud resources Serverless computing allows developers to
closer to users and devices, reducing latency execute code without managing servers,
and improving performance. simplifying development and reducing costs.
