Study Notes
Cloud Computing Pricing and Models
- The pricing model that enables AWS customers to pay for resources on an as-needed basis is known as the pay-as-you-go pricing model.
Cloud Computing Models
- The text mentions three cloud computing models: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS).
Cloud Benefits
- Having hundreds of thousands of customers aggregated in the cloud results in economies of scale, which leads to lower costs and increased efficiency.
AWS Services
- EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) is a compute service in AWS that provides resizable computing capacity.
Cloud Computing Benefits
- The benefits of cloud computing over on-premises computing mentioned in the text include:
- Scalability and flexibility: cloud computing resources can be scaled up or down as needed.
- Lower costs: cloud computing eliminates the need for upfront capital expenditures and reduces operational expenditures.
- Increased reliability and uptime: cloud providers typically have multiple data centers and built-in redundancy, ensuring high availability and reliability.
- Faster deployment: cloud computing resources can be provisioned quickly, reducing the time it takes to deploy new applications and services.
