Introduction to Cloud
Computing
Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services - including
servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and
intelligence - over the internet ("the cloud"). It provides on-demand
access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources.
Key Benefits of Cloud Computing
→ Cost Savings:- Cloud computing eliminates the need for expensive on-premise
hardware and IT infrastructure, allowing businesses to pay only for the resources they
use
→ Accessibility:- Data and applications hosted in the cloud can be accessed from
anywhere with an internet connection, enabling remote work and collaboration.
→ Cost savings:- Whatever cloud service model you choose, you only pay for the
resources you actually use.
Popular Cloud Computing Services
• Public Cloud
• Cloud resources are owned and operated by a third-party provider and
1 made available to the general public over the internet.
• Private Cloud
• Cloud infrastructure is operated solely for a single organization, either on-
2 premises or hosted by a third party.
• Hybrid Cloud
• A combination of public and private cloud services, allowing data and
3 applications to be shared between them.
Challenges and Limitations of Cloud Computing
→ Data Privacy and Security:- Concerns about data breaches and unauthorized
access to sensitive information stored in the cloud.
→ Cost Management:- all cloud service providers have a “Pay As You Go” model, which
reduces the overall cost of the resources being used, there are times when there are huge
costs incurred to the enterprise using cloud computing.
→ Mobile and Edge Computing:- Cloud computing supports mobile apps and
edge devices by providing backend infrastructure, data storage, and real-time
processing.
→ Data Analytics:- The scalable storage and processing power of the cloud enable
advanced data analytics and machine learning on big data sets.
Future of Cloud Computing
→ Edge Computing:- The rise of edge computing brings cloud capabilities closer
to devices, enabling real-time data processing and reduced latency for IoT
applications.
→ Cloud computing has revolutionized the way businesses and individuals access and
utilize technology. As we look to the future, the continued growth and innovation in
cloud technologies
→ Emerging trends, such as edge computing, multi-cloud strategies, and the increasing
adoption of cloud-native applications, will further enhance the flexibility, scalability,
and efficiency of cloud-based solutions. With the ongoing advancements in areas like
artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and serverless computing, the future of
cloud computing holds immense potential for transformative applications and
services.
