Lecture Learning Objectives
- Define and describe cloud computing's key features, business adoption cases, and evolution.
- Explore cloud service models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) characteristics and use cases.
- Examine deployment models (Public, Private, Hybrid, Community) and infrastructure concepts.
Cloud Computing Features
- Flexibility, scalability, and availability are critical benefits over traditional hosting.
- NIST defines cloud computing as a model for convenient, on-demand network access to shared computing resources.
Essential Characteristics of Cloud Computing
- On-Demand Self-Service: Users can access resources at any time, similar to an ATM service, ensuring constant availability.
- Broad Network Access: Cloud services can be accessed via various devices over the internet, ensuring widespread usability.
- Resource Pooling: Cloud provider resources are dynamically assigned and reassigned to multiple consumers, optimizing resource usage.
Service Models
- IaaS: Manages physical resources and provides networking, storage, and compute services.
- PaaS: Manages platform infrastructure, facilitating an environment for application development with scalability.
- SaaS: Offers managed software applications delivered over the internet with multi-tenant architecture and subscription models.
PaaS Benefits and Risks
- Benefits include scalability, faster time-to-market, and increased innovation.
- Risks involve information security threats and dependency on service provider infrastructure.
SaaS Characteristics and Benefits
- Multitenant architecture with easy privilege management.
- Benefits include no upfront capital, increased workforce productivity, and cost spreading over time.
- Common uses involve CRM, email, and collaboration tools.
Public Cloud Features
- Owned and managed by providers, providing virtualized multi-tenant architecture.
- Pay-as-you-go model with on-demand resources, but raises concerns around security and data sovereignty.
Private Cloud Features and Benefits
- Infrastructure dedicated to a single organization, allowing for stronger control, flexibility, and security.
- Benefits include reduced costs and improved scalability.
Hybrid Cloud Advantages
- Combines public and private clouds, allowing data and application integration while ensuring security.
- Provides interoperability, scalability, and enables efficient resource optimization at reduced costs.
Summary of Key Points
- The course covers essential cloud characteristics, deployment models, and service models.
- Cloud computing offers significant advantages over traditional IT models, enabling better resource management and flexibility.
Thank You
- Course concludes with appreciation for engagement and learning.
