Introduction
Cloud computing means using the internet to store, manage, and process data
instead of using your own computer or hard drive

What is Cloud Computer

Cloud computing is the delivery of computing resources—
including servers, storage, databases, networking, software,
analytics, and intelligence—over the Internet, allowing users to
access and use them on-demand without needing to manage the
underlying infrastructure.
 Types Of Cloud Computer

1. Public cloud

2. Private cloud
3. Hybrid cloud

1.Public cloud

Public Cloud

The public cloud is a type of cloud computing in which a service provider makes
computing resources—such as servers, storage, and applications—available to the
general public over the Internet. These resources are owned and operated by
third-party companies like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, or
Google Cloud, and users share the same infrastructure with other customers.

Public cloud services are highly scalable, cost-effective, and flexible. Organizations
only pay for what they use, which eliminates the need to invest heavily in physical
hardware and infrastructure. It is especially popular among startups, small
businesses, and companies that need quick and affordable access to computing
resources.

A major advantage of the public cloud is its ease of access and reliability. Since
public cloud providers maintain large data centers with backup systems and
strong cybersecurity measures, users benefit from high availability and strong
protection without needing to manage it themselves.

However, because resources are shared among multiple customers, public clouds
may not be ideal for organizations that handle highly sensitive data or require
very strict security and privacy controls.

Example:
Netflix uses Amazon Web Services (AWS) public cloud to stream
millions of videos daily to customers around the world.
2.Private Cloud
Private Cloud

A private cloud is a type of cloud computing where the entire

infrastructure is exclusively used by a single organization. Unlike public
clouds, where resources are shared among many customers, private
clouds are dedicated to just one organization, offering greater control,
security, and customization.

Private clouds can be physically located in a company’s own on-site

data center, or they can be hosted by a third-party provider. In either
case, the infrastructure is maintained on a private network, and the
hardware and software are solely for that organization’s use.

The major advantage of a private cloud is enhanced security. Since

resources are not shared with other organizations, private clouds are
ideal for businesses that handle sensitive data, such as banks,
government agencies, and healthcare providers. They also offer greater
customization, allowing companies to tailor the cloud environment to
meet specific business and compliance needs.

However, private clouds are generally more expensive than public

clouds because the organization must either purchase and maintain the
infrastructure itself or pay a third-party provider for dedicated hosting.

Example:
A government agency might use a private cloud to
securely store classified data and manage
confidential communication system
Hybrid Cloud

Hybrid cloud

A hybrid cloud is a combination of both public and private cloud environments,

designed to allow data and applications to move seamlessly between them. This
approach gives organizations greater flexibility by enabling them to keep sensitive
operations on a private cloud while using the public cloud for less-critical
resources.

Hybrid cloud models are ideal for businesses that want the best of both worlds—
the scalability and cost savings of the public cloud along with the security and
control of the private cloud. By strategically choosing where to place their
workloads, companies can optimize performance, improve security, and reduce
costs.

For example, a business might use the private cloud to store sensitive customer
information, while using the public cloud to host its company website or handle
spikes in web traffic. Hybrid clouds are especially popular among large enterprises
that need to meet regulatory requirements while still being agile and innovative.

However, managing a hybrid cloud can be more complex, since it requires

maintaining both public and private infrastructures and ensuring they work
together smoothly.

Example:
A hospital might store patient medical records in a
secure private cloud while using a public cloud service
to run a mobile health app for patients.
 Cloud Security

Cloud security refers to the set of policies, technologies, and controls deployed to protect data,
applications, and infrastructure in cloud environments. Since cloud services are accessed over e
Hybrid cloud Internet, ensuring strong security is critical to prevent data breaches, loss of
sensitive information, and cyberattacks.

Cloud security covers a wide range of practices, including:

Data Protection: Ensuring that sensitive data stored in the cloud is encrypted and
backed up securely.




Access Control: Implementing authentication and authorization systems so that only

authorized users can access cloud resources.




Threat Prevention: Using firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and antivirus tools to
protect against cyber threats.



 Compliance Management: Meeting regulatory requirements like GDPR, HIPAA, or ISO
standards that govern how data must be stored and processed.




Disaster Recovery: Creating plans for quickly recovering data and systems in case of
outages, attacks, or other emergencies.

Leading cloud providers like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud invest heavily in advanced security
measures, but cloud security is a shared responsibility. This means that while the provider
secures the infrastructure, users must protect their own data, manage access permissions, and
follow best practices.

Example:
A company using Microsoft Azure must ensure strong password
policies and data encryption for its own applications, while
Microsoft secures the underlying servers and networks.
1. On-Demand Self-Service

Users can provision computing resources like storage, processing power, and networking
automatically, without human interaction with the service provider. Resources are available
whenever needed, reducing delays and increasing efficiency.

Example:
A user can quickly create a virtual machine through a cloud
portal without calling IT support.

2. Broad Network Access

Cloud services are available over the Internet and can be accessed from a wide range of devices such as
laptops, smartphones, tablets, and desktops. This ensures flexibility and convenience for users working
from anywhere.

Example:
Accessing a cloud-based CRM tool from both a desktop in the office
and a smartphone while traveling.

Benefits of Cloud Computing

Cloud computing offers a wide range of benefits that have revolutionized
how businesses and individuals use technology. These advantages make
cloud solutions attractive across industries of all sizes.

Example:
Instead of buying servers, a company rents virtual servers from
a cloud provider and pays monthly.
