New Mansoura University Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering FDTC Cloud Computing © 2024 The Central Unit of IT Training Supreme Council of Universities. What is Cloud Computing Cloud computing is a method for delivering information technology (IT) services in which resources are retrieved from the Internet through web-based tools and applications, as opposed to a direct connection to a server. Rather than keeping files on a proprietary hard drive or local storage device, cloud-based storage makes it possible to save them to a remote database. As long as an electronic device has access to the web, it has access to the data and the software programs to run it. 2 Why Cloud Computing? Cost saving Scale technical capabilities based on fluctuations in demand or workload for potential cost savings. Agility Adapt to growth and change without changes to technical hardware or assets. Control inheritance Perform varying levels of management and upgrades depending on cloud computing category. High availability Maintain a presence in multiple regions of the world. 3 Why Cloud Computing? Less costs The services are free from capital expenditure. There are no huge costs of hardware in cloud computing. You just have to pay as you operate it and enjoy the model based on your subscription plan Availability Most of the cloud providers are truly reliable in offering their services, with most of them maintaining an uptime of 99.9%. The workers can get onto the applications needed basically from anywhere. Some of the applications even function off-line Flexibility in Capacity It offers flexible facility which could be turned off, up or down as per the circumstances of the user. For instance, a promotion of sales is very popular, capacity can be immediately and quickly added to it for the avoidance of losing sales and crashing servers. 4 Why Cloud Computing? Automated Updates on Software In cloud computing, the server suppliers regularly update your software including the updates on security, so that you do not need to agonize on wasting your crucial time on maintaining the system. Security Cloud computing offers great security when any sensitive data has been lost. Carbon Footprint Organizations utilize only the amount of resources they need, which helps them to avoid any over- provisioning. 5 Why Cloud Computing? Enhanced Collaboration Cloud applications enhance collaboration by authorizing diverse groups of people virtually meet and exchange information with the help of shared storage. Control on the Documents Moving to cloud computing has facilitated central file storage. Easily Manageable You get to enjoy a basic user interface without any requirement for installation. Plus you are assured guaranteed and timely management, maintenance, and delivery of the IT services. 6 Disadvantages of the Cloud Security has always been a big concern with the Cloud especially when it comes to sensitive medical records and financial information. While regulations force cloud computing services to shore up their security and compliance measures, it remains an ongoing issue. Encryption protects vital information, but if that encryption key is lost, the data disappears. Servers maintained by cloud computing companies may fall victim to natural disasters, internal bugs, and power outages, too. 7 Cloud computing providers The three Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) have similar offerings, but differ in pricing structures: Amazon Web Services (AWS) Microsoft Azure Google Cloud Platform 8 Google Drive: To use Google Drive you need to create Google account (if you do not have one) by clicking on: https://accounts.google.com/signup 9 Google Drive: Create Google Account step2 10 Google Drive: The interface contains 'Privacy and Terms' will appear to ensure that you agree to the 'Terms of Service' 11  Google Drive: After click 'I agree button' congratulation you have Google account now 12  Google Drive: To use Google Drive click on point square beside your account profile image, then click on 'Drive' from the appeared menu 13 Google Drive: 14  Google Drive: To upload file from your local device, click on upload file from new menu.

To delete the file. 18  Google Drive: Folder menu actions on Google Drive To select color for this folder icon. To search for file in the selected folder To show folder properties and also the activities applied on it. Microsoft OneDrive : The software is a simple way to make your files accessible on any Windows device, both for data transfer across devices and backing up these files in case they become corrupted on your local machine. Register or Log In to OneDrive 20 Microsoft OneDrive A popup window appears instead if you are registered, showing any recently synced files 21 Microsoft OneDrive Choose Which Folders Get Synced Choose ‘Settings‘ from the ‘Account’ tab, as shown 22 Microsoft OneDrive Backup Your Local Files to OneDrive Use the popup options to choose what folders to back up Select ‘Manage Backup. in OneDrive 23 Microsoft OneDrive Share Files from OneDrive Right-click the file in File Explorer and select the blue cloud that says ‘Share.’ 24 Microsoft OneDrive Restore Deleted Files or Previous File Versions 25 Microsoft OneDrive Remove OneDrive from Your PC Option 1: Logout/unlink OneDrive from your Windows 10 PC After you click ‘Unlink this PC,’ a local copy of OneDrive files is still saved, so you’ll need to delete them manually from the OneDrive folder in File Explorer, 26  Microsoft OneDrive Remove OneDrive from Your PC Option 2: Uninstall OneDrive Completely from Windows 10 PC If step 1 doesn’t work, try going to ‘Settings -> Apps & features Click the ‘Start Menu,’ right-click on ‘OneDrive,’ and select ‘Uninstall 27 Cloud Computing Architecture Cloud computing architecture is divided into the following two parts:- Front End The front end is used by the client. It contains client-side interfaces and applications that are required to access the cloud computing platforms. The front end includes web servers (including Chrome, Firefox, internet explorer, etc.), clients, tablets, and mobile devices. Back End The back end is used by the service provider. It manages all the resources that are required to provide cloud computing services. It includes a huge amount of data storage, security mechanism, virtual machines, deploying models, servers, traffic control mechanisms. 28 Components of Cloud Computing Architecture 1- Client Infrastructure Client Infrastructure is a Front end component. It provides GUI (Graphical User Interface) to interact with the Cloud 2- Application The application may be any software or platform that a client wants to access. 3- Service A Cloud Services manages that which type of service you access according to the client's requirement Cloud computing offers the following three type of services: Software as a Service (SaaS) - It is also known as cloud application services. Example: Google Apps, Salesforce Dropbox, Slack, Hubspot, Cisco WebEx. Platform as a Service (PaaS) - It is also known as cloud platform services. It is quite similar to SaaS, but the difference is that PaaS provides a platform for software creation, but using SaaS, we can access software over the internet without the need of any platform. Example: Windows Azure, Force.com, Magento Commerce Cloud, OpenShift. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) – It is also known as cloud infrastructure services. It is responsible for managing applications data, middleware, and runtime environments. Example: Amazon Web Services (AWS) EC2, Google Compute Engine (GCE), Cisco Metapod. 29 Components of Cloud Computing Architecture 4- Runtime Cloud Runtime Cloud provides the execution and runtime environment to the virtual machines. 5- Storage Storage is one of the most important components of cloud computing. It provides a huge amount of storage capacity in the Cloud to store and manage data. 6- Infrastructure It provides services on the host level, application level, and network level. Cloud infrastructure includes hardware and software components such as servers, storage, network devices, virtualization software, and other storage resources that are needed to support the cloud computing model. 7- Management Management is used to manage components such as application, service, runtime cloud, storage, infrastructure, and other security issues in the backend and establish coordination between them. 8- Security Security is an in-built back end component of cloud computing. It implements a security mechanism in the back end. 9- Internet The Internet is medium through which front end and back end can interact and communicate with each other 30 Types of Clouds (Deployment Models) We can classify Cloud as: Public, Private, Hybrid, and Community cloud. Private Cloud Private Cloud provides the same benefits of Public Cloud, but uses dedicated, private hardware. Private Cloud means using a cloud infrastructure (network) solely by one customer/organization. It is not shared with others, yet it is remotely located. Advantages of Private Cloud: 1. Increased redundancy 2. Decreased provisioning time for new servers 3. Saved capital by eliminating hardware support contracts 4. Quicker expendability compared to hosting your own physical servers 5. Use of dedicated, private hardware 31 Types of Clouds (Deployment Models) Community Cloud It implies an infrastructure that is shared between organizations, usually with the shared data and data management concerns. Public Cloud When we talk about public Cloud, we mean that the whole computing infrastructure is located on the premises of a cloud computing company that offers the cloud service. Hybrid Cloud Hybrid Cloud, of course, means, using both private and public clouds, depending on their purpose. 32 Cloud Computing Services (Service Models) 1- Software as a Service (SaaS) Allows a business to connect to and access an application over the Internet. One example would be Microsoft Office Online, an online version of the office suite in the form of web applications. 2- Platform as a Service (PaaS) If the Cloud offers a development platform, and this includes operating system, programming language execution environment, database, and web server, the model is known as Platform-as a-Service (PaaS), examples of which are Google App Engine, Microsoft Azure, Salesforce. 3- Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Provides virtual computer resources to build a technical environment or platform. This eliminates the need to maintain physical infrastructure and data centers. 33 Cloud Computing-Technologies 1- Virtualization It is the process of sharing license keys to physical instances of application among different users of the enterprise. The main purpose of this technology is to provide a standard version of the cloud application to all clients. Few types of virtualization are hardware virtualization, operating system virtualization, server virtualization, storage virtualization. 2- Service-Oriented Architecture SOA is an application which divides the services into individual business functions and procedure daily. 3- Grid Computing This is a process of connecting multiple servers from multiple to achieve a common goal. 4- Utility Computing It gives computational services on demand for a metered benefit. 34 Cloud Computing Infrastructure Cloud computing infrastructure is the collection of hardware and software elements needed to enable cloud computing. It includes computing power, networking, and storage, as well as an interface for users to access their virtualized resources. Cloud infrastructure also includes an abstraction layer that virtualizes and logically presents resources and services to users through application program interfaces and graphical interfaces. 35 Cloud Computing Infrastructure Cloud infrastructure components: 1- network Cloud resources are typically delivered to users over the internet. This infrastructure includes physical wiring, switches, load balancers and routers that help ensure cloud infrastructure is always available for customers. 2- server A server is simply a computer or device that has been programmed to provide a service to a customer or user. 3- storage Cloud storage services allow organizations to store and manage data on off-site file servers instead of building their own physical data centers. 4- virtualization Virtualization software abstracts the available data storage and computing power away from the actual hardware, enabling users to interact with their cloud infrastructure through a graphical user interface. 36 Training on Word processing cloud applications Google Docs Google Docs is a free, web-based word processor that Google offers as part of its comprehensive office suite—Google Drive—to compete with Microsoft Office.

Nowadays cloud computing operations have become famous & widely used by many or IT enterprise & business organizations because it allows performing all tasks over the internet. Users can perform cloud operations using web-applications or via mobile based applications. Cloud can perform some operations. These are listed below: ▪ Electronic Mail (Email) ▪ Content Management ▪ Human Resource (HR) management ▪ Accounting Services ▪ Online Marketplace ▪ Systemwide Reporting ▪ Security 57 Cloud Operation Management There are several procedures to handle and manage cloud operations. These are listed below: Use efficient processes: Well-organized tasks & processes can save efforts and time also. High QoS (Quality of Service): QOS should have to be maintained to avoid further work on the same thing. Proper Resource Selection: Selection of the appropriate resource is also required to be done carefully for cloud operation management. Time is working: Cloud related tasks should have to be done at the right time keeping in mind the cost allotted to it. Standardization: The processes should have to be standard to manage tasks efficiently and automatically. Use of right tools: Using proper tools & resources to do appropriate tasks and functions in the Cloud. Security: Security has to be a part of any discussion and operation as the structure and organization of the cloud infrastructure also depends on cloud security. 58 Training on Spreadsheet Cloud Applications google sheets There are three ways to create a new spreadsheet in Google Sheets: 1.
