What is “Cloud Computing”?
With cloud computing, organizations can consume shared
computing and storage resources rather than building, operating,
and improving infrastructure on their own.
Cloud computing enables organizations to obtain a flexible, secure,
and cost-effective IT infrastructure.
These capabilities include compute power, storage, databases,
messaging, and other building block services that run business
applications.

Cloud Computing Service Models
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), which provides only a base infrastructure,
leaving the end user responsible for platform and environment configuration
necessary to deploy applications. Amazon’s AWS and Microsoft Azure are prime
examples of IaaS.
Software as a Service (SaaS) like Gmail
or Salesforce.com.
Platform as a Service (PaaS), which
helps to reduce the development
overhead (environment configuration)
by providing a ready-to-use platform.
PaaS services can be hosted on top of
infrastructure provided by an IaaS.

Cloud Computing & Amazon Web Services
Amazon had spent over a decade building and managing the large-
scale, reliable, and efficient IT infrastructure that powered one of the
world’s largest online retail platforms.
Amazon has decentralized IT infrastructure.
Using AWS, you can demand compute power, storage, and other
services in minutes .
Have the flexibility to choose the development platform or
programming model .
This arrangement enabled our development teams to access compute
and storage resources on demand, and it has increased overall
productivity and agility.
You pay only for what you use, with no up-front expenses or long-term
commitments, making AWS a cost-effective way to deliver
applications.

workload demands
Fault Tolerance : Ability of a system to operate without interruption in
