Easy Maintenance: What Is Cloud Computing, in Simple Terms?

Cloud computing allows users to access computing resources like applications, storage, and processing power over the internet on a pay-per-use basis. It offers various services from basic storage and networking to artificial intelligence applications. There are three main cloud computing models: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) which provides basic computing infrastructure like servers and storage; Platform as a Service (PaaS) which provides platforms for building and deploying applications; and Software as a Service (SaaS) which provides ready-to-use software applications to end users.

What is cloud computing, in simple terms?

Cloud computing is the delivery of on-demand computing services -- from applications to storage and processing
power -- typically over the internet and on a pay-as-you-go basis.

How does cloud computing work?


Rather than owning their own computing infrastructure or data centers, companies can rent access to anything from
applications to storage from a cloud service provider.

What cloud computing services are available?


Cloud computing services cover a vast range of options now, from the basics of storage, networking, and processing
power through to natural language processing and artificial intelligence as well as standard office applications. Pretty
much any service that doesn't require you to be physically close to the computer hardware that you are using can
now be delivered via the cloud.

Examples

Gmail,Big Organization Apllication,Netflix etc

Cloud computing can be broken down into three cloud computing models

compute, storage, networking, and other elements (security, tools) are


provided by the IaaS provider via public Internet, VPN, or dedicated network
connection. Users own and manage operating systems, applications, and
information running on the infrastructure and pay by usage.
Eg DigitalOcean,, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Compute Engine (GCE)

A virtual machine (VM) is a virtual environment that functions as a virtual computer system with its own CPU, memory, network interface, and
storage, created on a physical hardware system (located off- or on-premises). Software called a hypervisor separates the machine’s
resources from the hardware and provisions them appropriately so they can be used by the VM. 

Features

1. Easy Maintenance
The servers are easily maintained and the downtime is very low and even in some cases, there is no downtime. Cloud Computing comes up
with an update every time by gradually making it better. The updates are more compatible with the devices and perform faster than older
ones along with the bugs which are fixed.

2. Availability
3.  Pay as you go
4.Security

5. Measured Service
6.  Automatic System
7.Economical

8. Resources Pooling
 Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS)
refers to the fundamental building blocks of computing that can be rented: physical or virtual servers, storage and
networking .

This is attractive to companies that want to build applications from the very ground up and want to control nearly all
the elements themselves, but it does require firms to have the technical skills to be able to organize services at that
level.

n other words, Virtualization is a technique, which allows to share a single physical instance of a
resource or an application among multiple customers and organizations. It does by assigning a logical
name to a physical storage and providing a pointer to that physical resource when demanded.

The Cloud has the distinct ability that it is capable of resilience, meaning that it can rebuild or “bounce back” depending on the events which affect it.
So let’s take a look at the benefits of cloud resilience and what it cannot guarantee.
