    Introduction to Cloud and IoT Concepts

    Cloud Computing is the delivery of computing services such as servers, storage, databases,
    networking, software, analytics, intelligence, and more, over the Cloud (Internet).

    Advantages of cloud computing:

    o Cost: It reduces the huge capital costs of buying hardware and software.
    o Speed: Resources can be accessed in minutes, typically within a few clicks.
    o Scalability: We can increase or decrease the requirement of resources according to the
    business requirements.
    o Productivity: While using cloud computing, we put less operational effort. We do not
    need to apply patching, as well as no need to maintain hardware and software. So, in this
    way, the IT team can be more productive and focus on achieving business goals.
    o Reliability: Backup and recovery of data are less expensive and very fast for business
    continuity.
    o Security: Many cloud vendors offer a broad set of policies, technologies, and controls
    that strengthen our data security.
    Cloud Service Models

    1. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

    IaaS is also known as Hardware as a Service (HaaS). It is a computing infrastructure managed


    over the internet. The main advantage of using IaaS is that it helps users to avoid the cost and
    complexity of purchasing and managing the physical servers.

    Example: DigitalOcean, Linode, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google
    Compute Engine (GCE), Rackspace.

    2. Platform as a Service (PaaS)

    PaaS cloud computing platform is created for the programmer to develop, test, run, and manage
    the applications.

    Example: AWS Elastic Beanstalk, Windows Azure, Google App Engine, and OpenShift.

    3. Software as a Service (SaaS)

    SaaS is also known as "on-demand software". It is a software in which the applications are
    hosted by a cloud service provider. Users can access these applications with the help of internet
    connection and web browser.

    Example: BigCommerce, Google Apps, Salesforce, Dropbox, Cisco WebEx.

    Cloud Services:

    1. Google Drive

    Google Drive is a cloud-based storage solution that allows you to save files online and access
    them anywhere from any smartphone, tablet, or computer.

    2. Google Docs

    Google Docs is an online word processor that lets you create and format documents and work
    with other people.

    3. Google Colab

    Colaboratory, or "Colab" allows to write and execute Python in the browser.


    IoT Concepts

    The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a system of interrelated, internet-connected objects that are
    able to collect and transfer data over a wireless network without human intervention.

    IoT Components:

    IoT Components are

    1. Sensors/Devices
    2. Connectivity
    3. Data Processing
    4. User Interface

    1) Sensors/Devices
    Sensors or devices collect data from their environment. This data could be as simple as a
    temperature reading or as complex as a full video feed.
    For example, your phone is a device that has multiple sensors (camera, accelerometer, GPS, etc),
    2) Connectivity
    The collected data is sent to the cloud.
    The sensors/devices can be connected to the cloud through a variety of methods including:
    cellular, satellite, WiFi, Bluetooth, low-power wide-area networks (LPWAN), connecting via a
    gateway/router or connecting directly to the internet via Ethernet.

    3) Data Processing
    Once the data gets to the cloud, software performs some kind of processing on it.
    This could be very simple, such as checking that the temperature reading is within an acceptable
    range.

    4) User Interface
    The information is made useful to the end-user. This could be through an alert to the user (email,
    text, notification, etc). For example, a text alert when the temperature is too high in the
    company’s cold storage.
