Cloud computing architecture consists of a front end used by clients and a back end utilized by service providers, connected through a network. Key components include client infrastructure, applications, various service models (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS), runtime cloud, storage, infrastructure, management, and security. These elements work together to provide scalable and efficient cloud services.

Cloud Computing Architecture
Cloud computing architecture is divided into the following two parts -
o Front End: The front end is used by the client o Back End: The back end is used by the service provider Both front end and back end are connected to others through a network, generally using the internet connection.
There are the following components of cloud computing architecture -
1. Client Infrastructure 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) – SaaS applications run directly through the web browser means we do not require to download and install these applications. Example: Google Apps ii. Platform as a Service (PaaS) – PaaS provides a platform for software creation. Example: Windows Azure iii. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) – It is responsible for managing applications data Example: Amazon Web Services (AWS) 4. Runtime Cloud Runtime Cloud provides the execution environment to the virtual machines. 5. Storage It provides a huge amount of storage capacity in the cloud to store and manage data. 6. Infrastructure Cloud infrastructure includes hardware and software components such as servers, storage, network devices that are needed to support the cloud computing model. 7. Management Management is used to manage components such as application, service, storage, and other security issues. 8. Security It implements a security mechanism in the back end.
