Deployment models(Part 1)
Objectives
• Private cloud
• Public cloud
Introduction
Private Cloud’s
Characteristics
• Secure: Usually the private cloud is deployed and managed by the
organization itself, and hence there is least chance of data being
leaked out of the cloud.
– In the case of outsourced cloud, the service provider may view the cloud
(though governed by SLAs), but there is no other risk from anybody else
as all the users belong to the same organization.
• Central control: The organization mostly has full control over the
cloud, private cloud is managed by the organization
• Weak SLAs: Formal SLAs may or may not exist in a private cloud
– But if they exist they are weak as it is between the organization and the
users of the same organization
Private cloud’s Suitability
• Highly scalable
– The resources in the public cloud are large in number and the
service providers make sure that all the requests are granted
• Affordable:
– The public cloud is offered to the public on a pay-as-you-go basis;
hence, the user has to pay only for what he or she is using
• Less secure
– The public cloud is less secure out of all the four deployment models.
This is because the public cloud is offered by a third party and they
have full control over the cloud. Though the SLAs ensure privacy,
still there is a high risk of data being leaked
Public Cloud’s Characteristics
• Security is an issue.
• Privacy and organizational autonomy are not possible.
