CLOUD COMPUTING & MANAGEMENT

Cloud Computing is a transformative technology model that provides on-demand

access to computing resources, such as servers, storage, databases, and
applications, over the internet. It eliminates the need for physical hardware and
infrastructure, enabling flexibility, scalability, and cost-efficiency.

Key Concepts in Cloud Computing

1. Service Models:
o IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service): Provides virtualized computing
resources like servers, storage, and networks. Examples: AWS EC2,
Google Compute Engine.
o PaaS (Platform as a Service): Offers development platforms and
tools for building, deploying, and managing applications. Examples:
Microsoft Azure App Service, Google App Engine.
o SaaS (Software as a Service): Delivers fully managed applications
accessible via a web browser. Examples: Google Workspace,
Salesforce.
2. Deployment Models:
o Public Cloud: Resources are hosted and managed by third-party
providers and shared among multiple users. Examples: AWS, Azure,
GCP.
o Private Cloud: Dedicated resources for a single organization,
offering greater control and security.
o Hybrid Cloud: Combines public and private clouds to optimize
flexibility and scalability.

1
 o Community Cloud: Shared infrastructure among a specific group
with similar needs.
3. Core Characteristics:
o On-demand Self-service: Users can provision resources without
human intervention.
o Scalability: Resources can be scaled up or down as needed.
o Pay-as-you-go: Users only pay for what they use.
o Resource Pooling: Resources are shared among multiple users
while maintaining privacy.

Management in Cloud Computing

Managing cloud environments involves overseeing resources and services to

ensure efficient operation, security, and cost management.

1. Cloud Resource Management:

o Provisioning: Allocating resources based on demand.
o Monitoring: Keeping track of resource utilization and performance.
o Optimization: Reducing costs and improving performance through
resource tuning.
2. Security Management:
o Implementing encryption, firewalls, and identity access management.
o Regular audits and compliance with standards like GDPR and
HIPAA.
3. Cost Management:
o Tracking expenses and optimizing usage to avoid unnecessary costs.
o Using tools like AWS Cost Explorer or Google Cloud Billing reports.
4. Data Management:

2
 o Ensuring data availability, backup, and disaster recovery.
o Managing compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.

Applications of Cloud Computing

 Data Storage: Centralized and scalable data solutions like Dropbox and
Google Drive.
 Application Hosting: Hosting websites or applications on platforms like
AWS.
 Machine Learning & AI: Leveraging computing power for complex data
analysis.
 Internet of Things (IoT): Connecting and managing IoT devices
efficiently.
 Disaster Recovery: Quick recovery of systems and data in case of failure.

Understanding How Cloud Computing Works?

Cloud computing helps users in easily accessing computing resources like
storage, and processing over internet rather than local hardwares. Here we
discussing how it works in nutshell:
 Infrastructure: Cloud computing depends on remote network servers
hosted on internet for store, manage, and process the data.
 On-Demand Acess: Users can access cloud services and resources based
on-demand they can scale up or down the without having to invest for
physical hardware.
 Types of Services: Cloud computing offers various benefits such as cost
saving, scalability, reliability and acessibility it reduces capital expenditures,
improves efficiency.

Origins Of Cloud Computing
Mainframe computing in the 1950s and the internet explosion in the 1990s came
together to give rise to cloud computing. Since businesses like Amazon, Google,
and Salesforce started providing web-based services in the early 2000s. The term
“cloud computing” has gained popularity. Scalability, adaptability, and cost-
effectiveness are to be facilitated by the concept’s on-demand internet-based
access to computational resources.
These days, cloud computing is pervasive, driving a wide range of services across
markets and transforming the processing, storage, and retrieval of data.

What is Virtualization In Cloud Computing?

Virtualization is the software technology that helps in providing the logical
isolation of physical resources. Creating logical isolation of physical resources
such as RAM, CPU, and Storage.. over the cloud is known as Virtualization in
Cloud Computing. In simple we can say creating types of Virtual Instances of
computing resources over the cloud. It provides better management and
utilization of hardware resources with logical isolation making the applications
independent of others. It facilitates streamlining the resource allocation and
enhancing scalability for multiple virtual computers within a single physical
source offering cost-effectiveness and better optimization of resources.

Virtualization in Cloud Computing and Types:

Architecture Of Cloud Computing

Cloud computing architecture refers to the components and sub-components
required for cloud computing. These components typically refer to:
1. Front end ( Fat client, Thin client)
2. Back-end platforms ( Servers, Storage )
3. Cloud-based delivery and a network ( Internet, Intranet, Intercloud )
1. Front End ( User Interaction Enhancement )
The User Interface of Cloud Computing consists of 2 sections of clients. The
Thin clients are the ones that use web browsers facilitating portable and
lightweight accessibilities and others are known as Fat Clients that use many
functionalities for offering a strong user experience.

2. Back-end Platforms ( Cloud Computing Engine )
The core of cloud computing is made at back-end platforms with several servers
for storage and processing computing. Management of Applications logic is
managed through servers and effective data handling is provided by storage. The
combination of these platforms at the backend offers the processing power, and
capacity to manage and store data behind the cloud.
3. Cloud-Based Delivery and Network
On-demand access to the computer and resources is provided over the Internet,
Intranet, and Intercloud. The Internet comes with global accessibility,
the Intranet helps in internal communications of the services within the
organization and the Intercloud enables interoperability across various cloud
services. This dynamic network connectivity ensures an essential component of
cloud computing architecture on guaranteeing easy access and data transfer.

What Are The Types of Cloud Computing Services?
The following are the types of Cloud Computing:
1. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
2. Platform as a Service (PaaS)
3. Software as a Service (SaaS)
4. Function as as Service (FaaS)

1. Infrastructure as a Service ( IaaS )

 Flexibility and Control: IaaS comes up with providing virtualized
computing resources such as VMs, Storage, and networks facilitating users
with control over the Operating system and applications.
 Reducing Expenses of Hardware: IaaS provides business cost savings with
the elimination of physical infrastructure investments making it cost-effective.
 Scalability of Resources: The cloud provides in scaling of hardware
resources up or down as per demand facilitating optimal performance with
cost efficiency.

2. Platform as a Service ( PaaS )

 Simplifying the Development: Platform as a Service offers application
development by keeping the underlying Infrastructure as an Abstraction. It
helps the developers to completely focus on application logic ( Code ) and
background operations are completely managed by the AWS platform.
 Enhancing Efficiency and Productivity: PaaS lowers the Management of
Infrastructure complexity, speeding up the Execution time and bringing the
updates quickly to market by streamlining the development process.
 Automation of Scaling: Management of resource scaling, guaranteeing the
program’s workload efficiency is ensured by PaaS.
