Study Notes
Cloud Computing Concepts
- Cloud computing involves on-demand access to shared resources like computers and storage over a network.
- Key characteristics of cloud computing include:
- Resource Pooling, where resources are shared
- Measured Service, where resource usage is tracked
- Rapid Elasticity, where resources can be adjusted quickly
- Cloud computing enables automatic control and optimization of resource use through metering.
Types of Cloud Services
- Software as a Service (SaaS) provides applications as a service, like Google Docs.
- Platform as a Service (PaaS) provides a platform for developers to create and run applications, like App Engines.
- Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provides virtualized computing resources like servers and storage.
- Functions as a Service (FaaS) allows users to execute code without managing the underlying infrastructure.
- Business-Process-as-a-Service (BPaaS) is a part of XaaS (Anything-as-a-Service), providing business process automation as a service.
Network Function Virtualization (NFV)
- NFV allows network functions to be implemented in software that runs on standard servers.
- This enables greater flexibility and scalability in network infrastructure.
Cloud Deployment Models
- Private cloud: dedicated to a single organization, accessible only by authorized users.
- Public cloud: available to the general public via providers like Amazon Web Services (AWS).
- Community cloud: shared by a group of organizations with a common goal.
Client-Server Model
- The client-server model is a distributed computing architecture, where separate clients interact with a central server.
- It is not inherently load-balanced or virtualized.
- Clients are typically desktop computers, while the server provides resources and data to clients.
PaaS Benefits
- PaaS enables developers to create and deploy software applications rapidly.
- It provides simplified access to web services, databases, and related resources.
