Study Notes
Cloud Computing
- Cloud computing is a model for delivering IT services over the internet, allowing users to access and use computing resources on-demand.
Cloud Service Provider (CSP)
- A Cloud Service Provider (CSP) is responsible for building and managing large-scale data centers, then renting out computing resources, storage, and applications to customers over the internet.
Traditional On-Premise Networks vs. Cloud Computing
- Traditional on-premise networks store and process data locally within an organization's premises, whereas cloud computing stores and processes data remotely in the cloud.
Data Centers in Cloud Computing
- Data centers provide the infrastructure for cloud computing, housing large numbers of servers, storage systems, and network devices that deliver computing resources and services over the internet.
Consuming Storage and Services from a CSP
- Companies can consume storage and services from a Cloud Service Provider (CSP) through various models, including Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS), allowing them to access the resources they need without maintaining them in-house.
