Cloud Computing Basics
- Growing ICT industry demands higher compute, storage, and networking resources.
- Cloud computing offers on-demand resources, promoting business innovation.
Background of Cloud Computing
- Rise of mobile Internet leads to increased device usage and data volumes, challenging conventional ICT.
- Evolution from PC era (networked computers) to mobile era (smartphones) to Internet of Everything (IoE) encourages ecosystem competition.
- Major enterprises (Intel, Microsoft, ARM, Google) have historically dominated each era.
Challenges of Conventional IT Architecture
- Traditional IT requires significant hardware investments and has slow deployment times due to long procurement cycles.
- Centralized architecture limits scalability; relies heavily on software for reliability.
- Heterogeneous devices complicate management, causing high costs and low utilization.
Migration to Cloud Architecture
- Traditional IT includes local hardware and software, consuming space and capital.
- Virtualization enhances hardware utilization, streamlining software configuration.
- Cloud transformation shifts from resource siloing to pooling, centralization to distribution, allowing for self-service and automatic service.
Definition of Cloud Computing
- Cloud computing provides network access to shared computing resources, enabling rapid provisioning and minimal management effort.
- It acts as a metaphor for the Internet infrastructure, delivering on-demand services over the web.
Services and Automation in Cloud Computing
