Study Notes
Cloud Computing
Service Models
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
- Provides virtualized computing resources (servers, storage, networks)
- Users manage and configure resources
- Examples: AWS EC2, Azure Virtual Machines, Google Compute Engine
Platform as a Service (PaaS)
- Provides a complete development and deployment environment
- Users manage applications and data
- Examples: Heroku, Google App Engine, Azure App Service
Software as a Service (SaaS)
- Provides software applications over the internet
- Users manage user data
- Examples: Salesforce, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace
Deployment Models
Public Cloud
- Resources are provided over the internet
- Open to the general public
- Examples: AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform
Private Cloud
- Resources are provided within an organization
- Not open to the general public
- Examples: VMware vCloud, OpenStack
Hybrid Cloud
- Combines public and private cloud resources
- Allows for scalability and flexibility
- Examples: AWS Outposts, Azure Stack
Community Cloud
- Resources are shared among multiple organizations
- Supports a specific community or industry
- Examples: Google Cloud Platform for Education, Microsoft Azure for Research

Service Models
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
- Provides virtualized computing resources, including servers, storage, and networks
- Users manage and configure the resources
- Examples include AWS EC2, Azure Virtual Machines, and Google Compute Engine
Platform as a Service (PaaS)
- Provides a complete development and deployment environment for applications
- Users manage applications and data, but not the underlying infrastructure
- Examples include Heroku, Google App Engine, and Azure App Service
Software as a Service (SaaS)
- Provides software applications over the internet, eliminating the need for local installation
- Users manage user data, but not the underlying application or infrastructure
- Examples include Salesforce, Microsoft 365, and Google Workspace
Deployment Models
Public Cloud
- Resources are provided over the internet, making them accessible from anywhere
- Open to the general public, and can be scaled up or down as needed
- Examples include AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform
Private Cloud
- Resources are provided within an organization, behind a firewall
- Not open to the general public, and typically used for sensitive data and applications
- Examples include VMware vCloud and OpenStack
Hybrid Cloud
- Combines public and private cloud resources to achieve scalability and flexibility
- Allows for the integration of on-premises infrastructure with public cloud services
- Examples include AWS Outposts and Azure Stack
Community Cloud
- Resources are shared among multiple organizations with a shared interest or goal
- Supports a specific community or industry, such as education or research
- Examples include Google Cloud Platform for Education and Microsoft Azure for Research
