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.
