Cloud Computing Architecture

Cloud computing architecture consists of two main components: the Front End, which includes client interfaces and applications, and the Back End, which encompasses the resources necessary for cloud services such as data storage and virtual machines. These components are connected through a network, typically the Internet. The Back End is responsible for security mechanisms, traffic control, and communication protocols between devices.

Cloud Computing Architecture


Cloud Computing architecture comprises of many cloud components, which are loosely
coupled. We can broadly divide the cloud architecture into two parts:

Front End
Back End

Each of the ends is connected through a network, usually Internet. The following
diagram shows the graphical view of cloud computing architecture:

Front End
The front end refers to the client part of cloud computing system. It consists of
interfaces and applications that are required to access the cloud computing platforms,
Example - Web Browser.

Back End
The back End refers to the cloud itself. It consists of all the resources required to
provide cloud computing services. It comprises of huge data storage, virtual machines,

security mechanism, services, deployment models, servers, etc.

Note

It is the responsibility of the back end to provide built-in security mechanism,


traffic control and protocols.

The server employs certain protocols known as middleware, which help the
connected devices to communicate with each other.
