Beginner S Guide To Cloud Computing

This document summarizes a presentation on cloud computing by Kelvin Gan and Liam McMurray. It defines cloud computing as vast computing resources residing remotely and being accessed as needed. It outlines three aspects of cloud computing: Software as a Service (SaaS) like Google Apps, Platform as a Service (PaaS) like Google App Engine, and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) like Amazon Web Services. Examples of each type are provided along with brief descriptions of popular cloud platforms. Both benefits like low costs and scalability as well as drawbacks like vendor lock-in are mentioned.

"What is Cloud Computing?" "Cloud computing is a buzzword..."


"The concept, quite simply, is that vast computing resources will reside somewhere out there in the ether (rather than in your computer room) and we'll connect to them and use them as needed.
