Understanding Cloud Computing Slides

The document provides an introduction to fundamental cloud concepts for AWS. It discusses setting up an AWS account and activating it. It also reviews how traditional data centers are operated versus cloud computing. The benefits of cloud computing are explored, including trade of capital expense for variable costs and massive economies of scale. Types of cloud computing models like IaaS, PaaS and SaaS are defined. Cloud deployment models such as public cloud, private cloud and hybrid cloud are examined. Three scenarios are provided and the appropriate cloud solutions are identified.

“Elasticity is the ability to acquire


resources as you need them and
release resources when you no
longer need them. In the cloud, you
want to do this automatically. ”
Well-Architected Framework, Amazon Web Services
Reliability
A solution’s ability to provide functionality for its users
when it is needed. Amazon’s global infrastructure is built
to maximize reliability for your cloud workloads.
The cloud lowers the cost of trying new
ideas or business processes
Reduces the time required to maintain
Agility infrastructure
Reduces risk for the organization around
security and compliance
Provides access to emerging technologies

Types of Cloud Computing


“Cloud computing is the on-demand
delivery of compute power, database
storage, applications, and other IT
resources through a cloud services
platform via the Internet with pay-as-
you-go pricing.”
Amazon Web Services
