Cloud Computing (BCS601) Question bank module1

1. List and describe the main characteristics of cloud computing


systems.

Characteristics of Cloud Computing



There are many characteristics of Cloud Computing here are few of them :
1. On-demand self-services: The Cloud computing services does not require any
human administrators, user themselves are able to provision, monitor and
manage computing resources as needed.
2. Broad network access: The Computing services are generally provided over
standard networks and heterogeneous devices.
3. Rapid elasticity: The Computing services should have IT resources that are
able to scale out and in quickly and on a need basis. Whenever the user require
services it is provided to him and it is scale out as soon as its requirement gets
over.
4. Resource pooling: The IT resource (e.g., networks, servers, storage,
applications, and services) present are shared across multiple applications and
occupant in an uncommitted manner. Multiple clients are provided service from
a same physical resource.
5. Measured service: The resource utilization is tracked for each application and
occupant, it will provide both the user and the resource provider with an
account of what has been used. This is done for various reasons like monitoring
billing and effective use of resource.
6. Multi-tenancy: Cloud computing providers can support multiple tenants (users
or organizations) on a single set of shared resources.
7. Virtualization: Cloud computing providers use virtualization technology to
abstract underlying hardware resources and present them as logical resources to
users.
8. Resilient computing: Cloud computing services are typically designed with
redundancy and fault tolerance in mind, which ensures high availability and
reliability.
9. Flexible pricing models: Cloud providers offer a variety of pricing models,
including pay-per-use, subscription-based, and spot pricing, allowing users to
choose the option that best suits their needs.
10. Security: Cloud providers invest heavily in security measures to protect their
users’ data and ensure the privacy of sensitive information.

11. Automation: Cloud computing services are often highly automated, allowing
users to deploy and manage resources with minimal manual intervention.
12. Sustainability: Cloud providers are increasingly focused on sustainable
practices, such as energy-efficient data centers and the use of renewable energy
sources, to reduce their environmental impact.
