Emerging Technologies in Computer Science

Cloud Computing Overview

• Cloud computing is a model for delivering information technology services where resources are provided as a service over the internet.

Cloud Computing vs On-Premises Datacenter

• The primary difference between cloud computing and on-premises datacenter is that cloud computing resources are provided over the internet, while on-premises datacenter resources are managed and maintained within an organization's premises.

IoT in Cloud Computing

• In the context of cloud computing, IoT stands for Internet of Things.

Components of Cloud Computing Services

• The components of cloud computing services include Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS).
• None of the following is NOT a component of cloud computing services: Database as a Service (DaaS).

Cloud Computing in Emerging Technologies

• Cloud computing plays a crucial role in emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and Robotics by providing the necessary infrastructure and resources for development and deployment.

Cloud Computing Services Delivery

• Cloud computing services are delivered over the internet.
• The term that accurately defines cloud computing services being delivered over the internet is "On-Demand Self-Service".

Advantages of Cloud Computing

• The primary advantage of using Cloud Computing over an on-premises datacenter is the scalability and flexibility it provides.

Cloud Service Models

• The cloud service model that can be compared to renting a house instead of renting the tools and equipment necessary for building a house is Platform as a Service (PaaS).
• The cloud service model that involves breaking down cloud applications into smaller components that only run when they are needed is Function as a Service (FaaS).
• The cloud service model that provides everything necessary for building an application, including development tools, infrastructure, and operating systems, over the internet is Platform as a Service (PaaS).
• The cloud service model that allows a company to rent the servers and storage they need from a cloud provider to build their applications is Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).
• The cloud service model that provides software applications over the internet is Software as a Service (SaaS), and an example that best illustrates this concept is Google Workspace.

Analogies for Cloud Service Models

• The statement "Imagine if it were possible to rent a house one little bit at a time" best describes Function as a Service (FaaS).
• The analogy "IaaS is like a company leasing a plot of land on which they can build whatever they want" best describes Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).
