Introduction to

Cloud Computing
Cloud computing is a revolutionary paradigm shift in technology,
enabling on-demand access to computing resources - like
servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics,
and intelligence - over the internet.

by Dr. R.Ravinder Reddy Professor


What is Cloud Computing?
Imagine a vast network of data centers, housing massive computing power and
storage capacity. Cloud computing provides access to these resources virtually,
on demand, like electricity from a power grid.

Virtualization On-Demand Services


Cloud computing relies on Users can access computing
virtualization to create multiple resources as needed, scaling up
virtual machines on a single or down based on demand,
physical server, increasing without the need for upfront
resource utilization and investments in hardware.

Internet-Based Pay-As-You-Go
Cloud computing resources are Users only pay for the resources
accessible over the internet, they use, eliminating the need for
enabling access from anywhere upfront capital expenditure and

Key Characteristics of Cloud
Computing
Cloud computing exhibits several key characteristics that distinguish it from
traditional computing models. These features contribute to its flexibility, scalability,
and cost-effectiveness.

1 Self-Service 2 Broad Network Access


Users can independently access Cloud resources can be accessed
and provision computing from various devices and
resources without requiring IT locations via the internet,

savings. ensuring resource availability.
Cloud Deployment Models
Cloud deployment models dictate the physical location and management of cloud infrastructure, each offering
distinct advantages and considerations.

Public Cloud Private Cloud Hybrid Cloud

Public cloud providers offer A private cloud is dedicated to a Hybrid cloud combines the
computing resources over the single organization, providing benefits of public and private

Cloud Service Models
Cloud service models describe the level of service offered by cloud providers, encompassing infrastructure, platforms, and applications.

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)


IaaS provides access to fundamental computing resources, such as servers, storage, and networking, allowing
users to build and manage their own applications.

Platform as a Service (PaaS)


PaaS offers a platform for developing and deploying applications, providing pre-configured environments, tools, and
services, simplifying the development process.

Software as a Service (SaaS)


SaaS delivers ready-to-use software applications over the internet, eliminating the need for installation and
maintenance, and making applications accessible to users through a web browser.
Benefits of Cloud Computing
Cloud computing offers numerous advantages, making it an attractive solution for businesses of all sizes.

Cost Savings Reduced upfront investment and pay-as-


you-go pricing models contribute to cost
optimization.
Scalability and Flexibility Cloud resources can be scaled up or down
effortlessly, enabling organizations to adapt
to changing demands.

Increased Efficiency Cloud services automate tasks, streamline


processes, and reduce administrative
overhead.
Enhanced Security Cloud providers invest heavily in security
measures, ensuring robust protection for
data and applications.

Global Access Cloud resources are accessible from


anywhere with an internet connection,
enabling global collaboration.

Future Trends in Cloud Computing
Cloud computing is constantly evolving, driven by technological advancements and changing user
needs. Future trends will shape the industry and offer new possibilities.

1 Edge Computing
Edge computing brings processing and data storage closer to users, reducing
latency and improving responsiveness for real-time applications.

2 Serverless Computing
Serverless computing allows developers to run code without managing servers,
simplifying development and reducing operational overhead.

3 Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML)


Cloud-based AI and ML services enable organizations to leverage advanced
analytics, automation, and intelligent insights.

4 Quantum Computing
Quantum computing has the potential to revolutionize cloud computing, providing
unparalleled processing power for complex calculations and simulations.
