Cloud Computing Concepts

1. Three Models of Cloud Computing


Cloud computing is categorized into three models:

• Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) – Provides virtualized computing resources over the


internet, such as virtual machines, storage, and networking. Example: AWS EC2, Google
Compute Engine.

• Platform as a Service (PaaS) – Offers a development platform with tools for application
deployment without managing underlying infrastructure. Example: Google App Engine,
AWS Elastic Beanstalk.

• Software as a Service (SaaS) – Delivers software applications over the internet on a


subscription basis. Example: Google Workspace, Microsoft 365.

2. Major Cloud Services


Cloud computing provides various services:

• Compute Services – Virtual machines, containers, and serverless computing (AWS EC2,
Azure Virtual Machines).

• Storage Services – Cloud-based storage solutions like AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage.

• Networking Services – Virtual networks, load balancers, and VPNs (Azure Virtual
Network, AWS VPC).

• Database Services – Managed databases like Amazon RDS, Google Cloud SQL.

• Security Services – Identity and access management (IAM), firewalls, and encryption tools.

3. Detailed Example of Cloud Services


A company like Netflix uses AWS cloud services:

• Compute: Uses Amazon EC2 for hosting streaming servers.

• Storage: Amazon S3 to store video content.

• Database: DynamoDB for managing metadata.

• CDN: AWS CloudFront for faster content delivery.

4. Cloud Architecture
Cloud architecture consists of:

• Frontend: User interface (browsers, mobile apps).


• Backend: Cloud services, databases, and management.

• Networking: Ensures communication between frontend and backend via the internet.

5. Cloud Scalability
Scalability refers to a system’s ability to handle increased workloads.

Advantages:

• Cost-efficient

• High performance

• Flexibility

Types of Cloud Scalability:

• Vertical Scaling: Adding more resources (CPU, RAM) to a single server.

• Horizontal Scaling: Adding more machines to handle traffic.

6. Cloud Adoption Steps for Business Strategy


Key steps include:

1. Assess Business Needs – Identify goals and requirements.

2. Select Cloud Model – Choose between IaaS, PaaS, or SaaS.

3. Plan Migration – Develop a strategy for moving applications.

4. Security and Compliance – Implement necessary security measures.

5. Optimize Costs – Manage expenses efficiently.

6. Monitor Performance – Ensure reliability and scalability.

7. Cloud Adoption Framework & Its 6 Stages


A structured approach for cloud transition:

1. Strategy – Define objectives.

2. Plan – Develop a roadmap.

3. Ready – Prepare resources.

4. Adopt – Implement migration.

5. Govern – Manage compliance.

6. Manage – Continuously monitor and optimize.


8. Benefits and Challenges of Cloud Service Providers
Benefits:

• Cost savings

• Scalability

• High availability

Challenges:

• Security risks

• Downtime issues

• Compliance and regulations

9. Business Example: Amazon (E-Commerce Cloud Implementation)


Amazon uses:

• AWS EC2 for hosting e-commerce applications.

• AWS S3 for storing product images and data.

• Amazon RDS for managing customer transactions.

• AWS CloudFront for fast content delivery.
