### **Cloud Computing**

Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services—including servers, storage,


databases, networking, software, and analytics—over the internet ("the cloud"). It
allows users to access and manage data and applications remotely without relying on
local servers or personal computers.

### **Types of Cloud Computing**


1. **Public Cloud**
- Owned and operated by third-party providers like **AWS, Microsoft Azure,
Google Cloud**.
- Resources are shared among multiple users (multi-tenant).
- Cost-effective and scalable.

2. **Private Cloud**
- Used by a single organization.
- Provides greater security and control.
- Can be hosted on-premises or by third-party providers.

3. **Hybrid Cloud**
- Combines both public and private clouds.
- Provides flexibility by keeping sensitive data in a private cloud while using
the public cloud for scalability.

4. **Community Cloud**
- Shared among organizations with common concerns (e.g., healthcare,
government).
- Managed by one or more organizations or third-party providers.

### **Cloud Service Models (Cloud Computing Layers)**


1. **Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)**
- Provides virtualized computing resources like servers, storage, and
networking.
- Example: **Amazon EC2, Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines, Google Compute
Engine**.

2. **Platform as a Service (PaaS)**


- Offers a development environment with tools and frameworks to build
applications.
- Example: **Google App Engine, Microsoft Azure App Services, AWS Elastic
Beanstalk**.

3. **Software as a Service (SaaS)**


- Delivers fully functional applications over the internet.
- Example: **Google Drive, Dropbox, Microsoft Office 365, Zoom**.
