Study Notes
On-Premises & Traditional IT
- On-premises refers to traditional IT infrastructure where hardware, software, and data are stored and maintained at the owner's physical location.
Cloud Computing
- Cloud computing utilizes a network of remote servers via the internet for data storage, management, and processing instead of relying on local servers or personal computers.
- Effective cloud computing provides computing services through remote servers hosted online for data analysis and storage.
Cloud Computing Models
- Two main models govern cloud computing: Deployment Model and Service Model.
Deployment Models
-
Public Cloud
- Operated and owned by third-party cloud service providers, delivering resources like servers and storage over the internet.
- Examples include Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
-
Private Cloud
- Often sold as an all-in-one package of hardware and software for user premises.
- Can be managed by either the vendor or the user.
- Examples include HPE GreenLake and Azure Stack.
-
Hybrid Cloud
- Combines on-premises infrastructure or private cloud with public cloud resources.
- Enables the movement of data and applications between environments, integrating multiple resources into a centralized computing ecosystem.
- Facilitates management of both traditional and cloud-native workloads, allowing use of the most appropriate resource for each situation.
- A common configuration involves using public cloud alongside private cloud services and on-premises infrastructure, although configurations can vary widely.
