CLOUD COMPUTING
1
Technology is heading ever further through the cloud. It's not just a fad-the change
from conventional business models to service business, or Saas, has been gradually
gaining traction over the last 10 years. Looking ahead, cloud computing's next
decade offers even more opportunities to communicate, use mobile devices from
anywhere.

So what is cloud computing? Essentially, cloud computing is a kind of outsourcing

of software, data storage, and processing. Users access applications and files by
logging in from any device that has an internet connection. Information and
programs are hosted by outside parties and reside on a global network of secure
data centers instead of on the user’s hard drive. This frees up processing power,
facilitates sharing and collaboration, and allows secure mobile access regardless of
where the user is or what device is being used.
Cloud computing is a more efficient way of delivering computing resources. With
cloud computing, software and service environments are subscription-based —
users pay a monthly fee instead of buying licenses. Software and platforms are
managed by the providers and are updated continuously for maximum performance
and security. Computing power is remote instead of centralized, so users can tap
into extra capacity if business spikes. Multiple people can access a shared program
or file and collaborate in real time from different locations.
How was life before Cloud Computing?
Traditional business applications have always been very complicated and
expensive. The amount and variety of hardware and software required to run them
are daunting. You need a whole team of experts to install, configure, test, run,
secure, and update them.In other words, before Cloud Computing came around, the
owners of large companies would use expensive business apps that needed data
centers, office space, power, cooling, bandwidth, network, storage, servers and
several software along with a team of experts to install, configure and run them.

When you multiply this effort across dozens or hundreds of apps, it’s easy to see
why the biggest companies with the best IT departments aren’t getting the apps
they need. Small and mid-sized businesses don’t stand a chance. If there was a
problem with the app, the companies would have to look through dozens and
dozens of these resources to find it. And even then, it was hard to fix the problems.
If there was a newer version of a software you were using, you could update it but
it would cause all the other software to crash. And all this is only for one app. A
large corporation would be using hundreds of these!

Cloud computing has streamlined or eliminated many

former office characteristics:
Large servers — Businesses no longer need to house banks of servers in well-
ventilated closets or equipment rooms.
Dedicated in-house IT support — Tech talent is as prized as ever, but
businesses no longer need dedicated in-house workers to troubleshoot their
hardware and software systems. Tedious tasks like updating computers one by one
have been eliminated.
Data storage devices — Employees don’t have to manually back up data on
hard drives, discs, or external devices.
Limited geographic access — Employees and managers are no longer tethered
to the office. They can be just as productive when traveling or working remotely as
they can from the business’ headquarters. Access to processes and information is
not tied to a particular geographic location.
Outdated off-the-shelf software — Software updates used to require major
expenditures every few years to buy the latest version of important programs.
Applications had to be manually installed and maintained on every device. Only
the largest enterprises could hire developers to create customized software. Bugs
and security problems might go unaddressed for years.
Information loss — Managers used to fear that an emergency or natural disaster
could wipe out all of a company’s records. Data that is stored locally on office
computers is vulnerable to loss or failure, but data stored in the cloud has multiple
safeguards.
Duplicate versions of documents — Employees no longer have to email files
back and forth, with one person making changes at a time and different versions of
work products stored locally on multiple devices. Cloud-based files with shared
access are always up-to-date. Colleagues can be confident that they are all seeing
the same thing and working with the same information.

 What are the benefits of Cloud Computing?
Well, Cloud computing promises several attractive benefits for businesses and
end users. Three of the main benefits of cloud computing include:

• Self-service provisioning: End users can spin up computing resources

for almost any type of workload on-demand.
• Elasticity: Companies can scale up as computing needs increase and
then scale down again as demands decrease.
• Pay per use: Computing resources are measured at a granular level,
allowing users to pay only for the resources and workloads they use.

Three types of cloud computing

4
Cloud computing is a way of delivering technology resources to users from remote
hubs. There are three main models of cloud computing, based on the type of
resources being delivered. Software as a service (SaaS) is the delivery of fully
functional products to end users. Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) provides secure
network and storage capacity to system administrators. Platform as a service
(PaaS) is somewhere in between, giving developers the building blocks to create
apps while freeing them from tedious back-end concerns.
1)Software as a Service (SaaS)

SaaS is the most common type of cloud computing. It delivers complete, user-
ready applications over the internet. These typically do not have to be downloaded
and installed on each individual user’s computer, saving technical staff lots of
time. Maintenance and troubleshooting are handled entirely by the vendor.

Software programs perform specific functions and are generally intuitive to use.
Examples include Salesforce’s suite of customer relationship management tools,
Microsoft Office 365 products, Google Apps, QuickBooks, Dropbox, Zendesk, and
Slack. These are fully functional productivity tools that can be customized to the
users’ needs without coding or programming. SaaS provides the greatest amount of
custom

2) Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)er support.

IaaS is the most open-ended type of cloud service for organizations that want to do
a lot of customization themselves. The greatest benefit of IaaS is extra capacity,
which can be accessed on demand for long-term or short-term needs. IaaS makes it
possible for tech-savvy businesses to rent enterprise-grade IT resources and
infrastructure to keep pace with growth, without requiring large capital
investments.

With IaaS, a third party hosts elements of infrastructure, such as hardware, servers,
firewalls, and storage capacity. However, users typically bring their own operating
systems and middleware. A business that is developing a new software product
might choose to use an IaaS provider to create a testing environment before
deploying the program in-house. Clients typically access cloud servers through a
dashboard or an API. IaaS is fully self-service.

3)Platform as a Service (PaaS)

PaaS provides the building blocks for software creation, including development
tools, code libraries, servers, programming environments, and preconfigured app
components. With PaaS, the vendor takes care of back-end concerns such as
security, infrastructure, and data integration so users can focus on building,
hosting, and testing apps faster and at lower cost.

With a platform like Salesforce, resources are standardized and consolidated so

you don’t have to reinvent the wheel each time you build a new app. Multiple
developers can work on the same project simultaneously. In many cases, people
without coding skills can create problem-solving business applications with drag-
and-drop page layouts, point-and-click field creation, and customizable reporting
dashboards.

 DEPLOYMENT MODELS
First, you need to determine the type of cloud deployment or cloud computing
architecture, that your cloud services will be implemented on. There are three
different ways to deploy cloud services: on a public cloud, private cloud or hybrid
cloud

Public cloud
A public cloud is a type of computing in which a service provider makes resources
available to the public via the internet. Resources vary by provider but may include
storage capabilities, applications or virtual machines. Public cloud allows for
scalability and resource sharing that would not otherwise be possible for a single
organization to achieve.

Private cloud
A private cloud refers to cloud computing resources used exclusively by a single
business or organisation. A private cloud can be physically located on the
company’s on-site datacenter. Some companies also pay third-party service
providers to host their private cloud. A private cloud is one in which the services
and infrastructure are maintained on a private network.

Hybrid cloud
Hybrid clouds combine public and private clouds, bound together by technology
that allows data and applications to be shared between them. By allowing data and
applications to move between private and public clouds, a hybrid cloud gives your
business greater flexibility, more deployment options and helps optimise your
existing infrastructure, security and compliance.

Mobile cloud technologies

8
Rapid increase in the use of mobile devices (laptops, tablets, smartphones, etc.) in
the world and their connection to computing clouds via the Internet with the help
of appropriate telecommunications technologies (GPS, 3G, 4G, Wi-Fi, etc.), the
creation of a new technology - mobile cloud technology gives a boost. Data
processing and storage on the BSE is carried out outside of mobile devices. At
MHB, mobile devices connect to the cloud computing system via the Internet via
base stations (GPS, 3G, 4G, Wi-Fi, etc.) and use the services it needs.

Cloud technology is an information service that provides a service that can be

obtained at the local location of users without the need for any process, software,
data entry or service infrastructure. Thus, users can use the service they want
without creating any infrastructure on their devices. This theory has replaced a
need in information technology. Given the increase in the volume of applications
in information products, this system eliminates the need for additional costs and
time, such as the creation of new infrastructure, which increases the ability to
operate on the Internet in real time.
Cloud technology is characterized as a new service based on internet protocols for
internet technology services. Thanks to this system, many technological operations
carried out by software are now carried out virtually over the Internet. This is a
technique that allows you to access and work with your own files or information,
regardless of distance, along with the Internet. With the help of online network-
based tools and methods, network filters have become an area where many
programs come together and can be operated between computers.

 Cloud computing examples

Examples of cloud computing include:

Google Docs, Microsoft Office 365: Users can access Google Docs and Microsoft
Office 365 through the internet. Users can be more productive because they can
access work presentations and spreadsheets stored in the cloud at anytime from
anywhere on any device.

Email, Calendar, Skype, WhatsApp: Emails, calendars, Skype and WhatsApp take
advantage of the cloud's ability to provide users with access to data remotely so
they can access their personal data on any device, whenever and wherever they
want.

Zoom: Zoom is a cloud-based software platform for video and audio conferencing
that records meetings and saves them to the cloud, enabling users to access them
anywhere and at any time.

AWS Lambda: Lambda allows developers to run code for applications or back-end
services without having to provision or manage servers. The pay-as-you-go model
constantly scales with an organization to accommodate real-time changes in data
usage and data storage.

 Future of cloud computing
Over 30 percent of enterprise IT decision-makers identified public cloud as their
top priority in 2019, according to the "RightScale 2019 State of the CloudReport."
Still, enterprise adoption of the public cloud, especially for mission-critical
applications, hasn't been happening as quickly as many experts had predicted.
In 2020, however, organizations are likely to migrate mission-critical workloads to
public clouds. One of the reasons for this shift is that business executives who
want to ensure that their companies can compete in the new world of digital
transformation are demanding the public cloud.
Business leaders are also looking to the public cloud to take advantage of its
elasticity, modernize internal computer systems and empower critical business
units and their DevOps teams.
Additionally, cloud providers, such as IBM and VMware, are concentrating on
meeting the needs of enterprise IT, in part by removing the barriers to public cloud
adoption that caused IT decision-makers to shy away from fully embracing the
public cloud previously.
Generally, when contemplating cloud adoption, many enterprises have been
mainly focused on new cloud-native applications. They haven't been willing to
move their most mission-critical apps into the public cloud. However, these
enterprises are now beginning to realize that the cloud is ready for the enterprise if
they select the right cloud platforms, i.e., those that have a history of serving the
needs of the enterprise.
