Study Notes
Cloud Computing Concepts
- NIST Definition of Cloud Computing: On-demand network access to shared resources
- Cloud Computing Characteristics: On-demand self-service, broad network access, resource pooling, rapid elasticity, and measured services
- Cloud Computing Benefits: Lower IT costs, flexible, efficient, secure, and faster time to market
- Cloud Deployment Models: Public, Private, Hybrid
- Cloud Computing Advantages: Agility, DevOps, efficiency, integration, and stability
- Cloud Considerations for Banks: Regulatory and compliance standards, market trends
Cloud Computing Deployment Models
- Public Cloud: Multiple users access the same shared resources
- Private Cloud: Used internally and accessed by a limited group of users
- Hybrid Cloud: Combines public and private cloud environments
Cloud Benefits
- Reduced IT Costs: Fixed operating expenses instead of capital expenditures
- Scalability and Elasticity: Quickly increasing or reducing resource allocation as project requirements change
- Globalization and Remote Collaboration: Simplifies communication and collaboration across regions and time zones
- Security & Compliance: Cloud providers often have multi-layered security architecture built into their solutions, ensuring compliance with regulations
IBM Cloud Roles
- IBM Cloud Architect: Designs cloud solutions
- IBM Cloud Site Reliability Engineer: Assists clients with critical business problems
- IBM Cloud Sales Engineer: Works with clients to offer solutions
- IBM Cloud Security Engineer: Writes and maintains cloud applications
Cloud Service Models
- IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service): Cloud provider manages the infrastructure (servers, storage, networks). The customer manages the operating system, applications, and data
- PaaS (Platform as a Service): Cloud provider manages infrastructure (servers, storage, networks), and platform (OS, programming tools). The customer manages applications and data
- SaaS (Software as a Service): Cloud provider manages everything. Customers consume the software through a web browser without having to manage the underlying infrastructure or software
- Database-as-a-service (DBaaS): Cloud providers manage databases but customers control related data and applications
Cloud Storage Types
- File Storage: Best for projects that require file sharing and access, less performance focused
- Block Storage: Best for applications needing high performance, high I/O, and high availability, frequently accessed files
- Object Storage: Best for unstructured data requiring infrequent access and large storage capacity, such as backup and archival
Cloud Computing Security and Compliance
- Security Groups: Allow users to monitor and control the inbound and outbound traffic in a virtual private cloud instance
- IBM Cloud Security and Compliance Center: A set of tools for continuous security posture monitoring and analysis
Other Concepts
- Virtualization: Enables efficient use of physical computer hardware
- Shadow IT: Unauthorized use of cloud services. This can add security risks and compliance challenges and conflicts with corporate governance policies.
- Cloud Monitoring: Continuous monitoring of cloud resources and compliance
- Access Control Lists (ACLs): A set of rules that control access to cloud resources
- API Connect: A comprehensive integration tool connecting applications, data, and processes.
- IBM Cloud Services: Offer a variety of tools, such as databases, messaging, API management, and containerization and orchestration.
