Lecture 6

The document discusses the architecture of cloud computing. It describes the key components of cloud computing architecture including the front-end and back-end. The front-end includes applications and interfaces for users, while the back-end includes large data storage, virtual machines, security systems and servers. It also explains cloud-based delivery models like SaaS, PaaS and IaaS, and defines the core components that make up the architecture like hypervisors, management software, deployment software, routes of connectivity, cloud servers and storage.

Cloud Computing Architecture – Components & Saas,


PaaS, IaaS
BY DATAFLAIR TEAM · PUBLISHED NOVEMBER 23, 2018 · UPDATED JANUARY 30, 2019

1. Objective
In our last tutorial, we discussed the best Cloud Computing Tutorial. Here,
we will explore Cloud Computing architecture with diagram and example.
Moreover, we will learn important components of Cloud Computing
architecture and some cloud-based delivery like Saas, PaaS, IaaS.
So, let’s start Cloud Computing Architecture.

Cloud Computing Architecture – Components & Saas, PaaS, IaaS


2. Cloud Computing Architecture
Cloud Computing is an emerging technology which is skyrocketing nowadays.
This technology is often used by big companies as well as the startups as it is
flexible for both. Every company is in need to store the data so they require
cloud to store their information. The data is secured and can access anytime and
from anywhere.

Cloud Computing architecture basically comprises of the two parts. They are
the front-end and the back-end. The front end is the end which uses by the user
and the back-end manages by the host. Both the end connects to each other
with the means of internet.
Do you know How Cloud Computing Works?
i. Front End
The front end is the client part of Cloud Computing which uses as per the
requirement of the user. Front-end comprises of the applications and the
interfaces which help to access the cloud computing. Example- Browser or an
app created by the company itself.

ii. Back End


The back end is a part which manages by the allotted authorities of the
company and their back end has large data storage facilities, Virtual machines,
security system, and servers. They are also engaged in traffic management
along with security management.

3. Components of Cloud Computing Architecture


Let’s discuss some components of Cloud Computing Architecture:
Components of Cloud Computing Architecture

i. Hypervisor
The hypervisor is also known as Virtual Machine Monitor. This consists of the
software, hardware, and firmware which makes and runs the virtual machines.
The Hypervisor provides a user with a platform which is known as Virtual
Operating Platform. This allows us to manage the guest’s operating system to
use the cloud. This can be also known as the traditional term of the kernel in an
operating system.
ii. Management Software
Management software consists of various plans and the strategies which help to
increase the performance of the cloud. This management software provides
many features such as on-time delivery of storage, proper security, all-time
access, and many other facilities. This is one of the important parts of Cloud
Computing architecture. One of the important features of this is the compliance
auditing, management of overseeing disaster, and contingency plans.

iii. Deployment Software
Cloud deployment simply means to initiate the working of the SaaS, PaaS, and
IaaS. This initiates the solutions that can access by the users or the customers.
This deployment consists of all the mandatory installations and configurations
of the cloud. This emerges from the back end and implements before the
provisioning occurs.
iv. Route of Connectivity
It is an important part of the Cloud Computing architecture, through which the
whole cloud gets connected. The speed of transfer depends on the network
which is the internet connection. There are many cloud servers present which
connects with the help of this virtual route. This also provides a facility to the
user by allowing them to customize the route and protocol.

v. A server of the Cloud


A cloud server is a virtual server running in cloud computing premises. It’s
engineered, hosted and delivered via a cloud computing platform via the web. It
can be accessed from anywhere.

Cloud servers are stable, quick and secured. They avoid the hardware problems
seen with physical servers, and that they are seemingly to be the foremost
stable choice for businesses. Also, call as virtual servers. Cloud servers have all
the software they need to run and can operate as non-dependent units. It also
has the profit because it is incredibly simple and fast to upgrade by adding
memory and disk space, further as being more cost-effective.

vi. Storage of the Cloud


Cloud storage service, construct to produce applications, services and
organizations with access to offsite storage capability that may provision
instantly are versatile in scaling automatically at runtime and is globally
accessible. An Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) service model delivers
scalable, flexible and redundant storage capability through net services API,
online interfaces and thin client applications.

Cloud Storage also benefits the user by providing remote access with the help
of internet. The storage services are very quick to access. Cloud information is
often held on, altered and retrieved from a remote cloud storage server over the
web below a utility computing model.

4. Cloud-Based Delivery
Cloud-Based delivery includes three major types they are-
Cloud Computing Architecture – Cloud-Based Delivery

i. SaaS
SaaS stands for Software as a service where the cloud provider provides
software with the help of internet. It is scalable and provides a benefit that the
system administrators can upload the applications to each of their own servers.
The customers using SaaS can also access the application without installing the
software.
ii. IaaS
IaaS stands for Infrastructure as a service. This means that taking the
physical hardware and providing the virtual services. In this, there are
businesses which pay the fee to run virtual servers, network, and storage from
the cloud. This infrastructure maintains by the back end.
iii. Paas
PaaS stands for Platform as a service in this the third party provider delivers
hardware and software tools. This basically benefits those who are need of
application development. The host providing this service provides the hardware
and software on its own. This benefits the user by not installing the software at
their premises.
So, this was all about Cloud Computing Architecture Tutorial. Hope you liked
our explanation,

5. Conclusion
The architecture of the cloud is simple and lucid which clearly states the
components embedded in it. This service is very economical and one can start
using it for free. The entire cloud computing architecture has the abilities to
provide higher bandwidth which allows the user to access the cloud anytime.
Furthermore, if you have any query/doubt? Feel free to ask in the comment
section.
