Study Notes
Essential Characteristics of Cloud Computing
- Shared characteristic: on-demand self-service, broad network access, resource pooling, rapid elasticity, and measured service
Scalability in Cloud Computing
- Rapid elasticity: allows resources to scale up or down rapidly in response to business demands
Importance of Cloud Computing in Business
- Cloud computing is a weighty business decision for an enterprise due to its impact on costs, infrastructure, and IT strategy
On-Demand Self-Service in Cloud Computing
- On-demand self-service: enables users to provision and de-provision resources without human intervention
Resource Pooling in Cloud Computing
- Resource pooling: supports multi-tenant model by dynamically allocating and re-allocating resources based on demand
Measured Service in Cloud Computing
- Measured service: provides transparency and control over resource usage, allowing users to only pay for what they use
