Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is a model for on-demand access to a shared pool of


configurable computing resources, such as networks, servers, storage,
applications, and services, that can be rapidly provisioned and released with
minimal management effort or service provider interaction.

Deployment Models
1 SaaS
Software as a Service (SaaS) is a cloud-based software delivery
model where applications are hosted and managed by the
service provider.

2 PaaS
Platform as a Service (PaaS) provides a cloud-based platform
for developing, testing, and deploying applications.

3 IaaS
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) delivers virtualized computing
resources, such as servers, storage, and networking, over the
internet.
Cloud Computing Security
Considerations

Data Protection
Ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data stored in the
cloud.

Access Control
Implementing robust authentication and authorization mechanisms to restrict
access to cloud resources.

Compliance
Adhering to industry regulations and standards to maintain data privacy and
security.
Challenges and
Limitations of Cloud
Computing
Vendor Lock-in
1 Dependence on a single cloud provider can make it difficult to
migrate to a different platform.

Data Sovereignty
2 Concerns about the physical location of data and compliance
with data privacy regulations.

Network Reliability
3 Reliance on a stable and fast internet connection for cloud
services to function properly.
Future Trends in Cloud
Computing
Edge Computing Bringing computing resources
closer to the data source, reducing
latency and improving
responsiveness.

Multi-Cloud Strategies Leveraging multiple cloud


providers to mitigate vendor lock-
in and improve resilience.

Serverless Computing Enabling the execution of code


without the need to manage and
maintain the underlying
infrastructure.

AI and Machine Learning Integrating advanced analytics and


cognitive capabilities into cloud-
based applications and services.
