    Cloud computing architecture consists of front-end and back-end components connected via the internet. The front-end includes client interfaces like web browsers on devices. The back-end manages resources like data storage, servers, and security to provide cloud services. Key components include clients, applications, services, runtime environments, storage, infrastructure, management, security, and the internet connecting front-end and back-end.

    Cloud Computing Architecture

    javatpoint.com/cloud-computing-architecture

    As we know, cloud computing technology is used by both small and large organizations to
    store the information in cloud and access it from anywhere at anytime using the internet
    connection.

    Cloud computing architecture is a combination of service-oriented architecture and


    event-driven architecture.

    Cloud computing architecture is divided into the following two parts -

    Front End
    Back End

    The below diagram shows the architecture of cloud computing -

    Front End
    The front end is used by the client. It contains client-side interfaces and applications that
    are required to access the cloud computing platforms. The front end includes web servers
    (including Chrome, Firefox, internet explorer, etc.), thin & fat clients, tablets, and mobile
    devices.
    Back End
    The back end is used by the service provider. It manages all the resources that are
    required to provide cloud computing services. It includes a huge amount of data storage,
    security mechanism, virtual machines, deploying models, servers, traffic control
    mechanisms, etc.

    Note: Both front end and back end are connected to others through a network, generally
    using the internet connection.
    Components of Cloud Computing Architecture
    There are the following components of cloud computing architecture -

    1. Client Infrastructure

    Client Infrastructure is a Front end component. It provides GUI (Graphical User Interface) 
    to interact with the cloud.

    2. Application

    The application may be any software or platform that a client wants to access.

    3. Service

    A Cloud Services manages that which type of service you access according to the client’s
    requirement.

    Cloud computing offers the following three type of services:

    i. Software as a Service (SaaS) – It is also known as cloud application services. Mostly,


    SaaS applications run directly through the web browser means we do not require to
    download and install these applications. Some important example of SaaS is given below
    –

    Example: Google Apps, Salesforce Dropbox, Slack, Hubspot, Cisco WebEx.

    ii. Platform as a Service (PaaS) – It is also known as cloud platform services. It is quite
    similar to SaaS, but the difference is that PaaS provides a platform for software creation,
    but using SaaS, we can access software over the internet without the need of any
    platform.

    Example: Windows Azure, Force.com, Magento Commerce Cloud, OpenShift.

    iii. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) – It is also known as cloud infrastructure services. It


    is responsible for managing applications data, middleware, and runtime environments.
    Example: Amazon Web Services (AWS) EC2, Google Compute Engine (GCE), Cisco
    Metapod.

    4. Runtime Cloud

    Runtime Cloud provides the execution and runtime environment to the virtual machines.

    5. Storage

    Storage is one of the most important components of cloud computing. It provides a huge
    amount of storage capacity in the cloud to store and manage data.

    6. Infrastructure

    It provides services on the host level, application level, and network level. Cloud
    infrastructure includes hardware and software components such as servers, storage,
    network devices, virtualization software, and other storage resources that are needed to
    support the cloud computing model.

    7. Management

    Management is used to manage components such as application, service, runtime cloud,


    storage, infrastructure, and other security issues in the backend and establish
    coordination between them.

    8. Security

    Security is an in-built back end component of cloud computing. It implements a security


    mechanism in the back end.

    9. Internet

    The Internet is medium through which front end and back end can interact and
    communicate with each other.
