Lesson 1

The document provides an introduction to cloud computing. It defines cloud computing as utilizing web-based computer resources and services through the internet. It explains that cloud computing allows users to access applications through the internet as utilities. The document also distinguishes between the internet and cloud computing, noting that cloud computing is dependent on the internet but is a specific internet service. It then provides examples of cloud computing services and discusses how cloud computing works through front-end, back-end and network layers.

LESSON 1:

INTRODUCTION TO
CLOUD COMPUTING
PREREQUISITES TO CLOUD COMPUTING

Before learning about Cloud technology, students must know about:


• Networking
• Computers
• Database
• Terms such as operating system, applications, programs, and their
meanings must be known before starting this.
CLOUD COMPUTING

Cloud Computing describes the abstraction of web-based computers,


resources, and services that system developers can utilize to implement
complex web-based systems.
- Jamsa, K. (2022).
CLOUD COMPUTING

Cloud Computing is the latest generation technology with an extensive IT


infrastructure that provides us a means by which we can use and utilize
the applications as utilities via the Internet. Cloud computing makes IT
infrastructure along with its services available "on-need" basis.

CLOUD COMPUTING

For years, developers and network administrators have represented the Internet as a cloud.
In reality, cloud computing is something that we have been using for a long time.

Cloud becomes the metaphor for the Internet.

⮚The application became cheaper, easier to find, and use.


⮚The new application becomes more comfortable to develop & create based on
a standard modular part.
⮚Cloud will provide new social services by connecting through social networks.
⮚Lessen the usage of proprietary operating systems in our daily computing.
⮚Connection to the cloud can be made whenever we want.

HOW CLOUD COMPUTING WORKS
THE 3 LAYERS OF CLOUD COMPUTING

1.Front-end Layer
2.Back-end Layer
3.Network Layer
1. FRONT-END LAYER

The Front-end layer is that part of the cloud with


which users can interact with.
2. BACK-END LAYER

The back-end layer comprises hardware as well


as software that delivers the back-end data from
the database to the front end.
3. NETWORK LAYER

Cloud uses a network layer to connect different devices


to provide access to resources residing in the centralized
data center of the cloud.

Network Layer connects back-end layer and front-end


layer, so that data can go back and forth.
CLOUD COMPUTING
ARCHITECTURE

(NETWORK)
CLOUD COMPUTING ARCHITECTURE

In the Cloud computing system architecture, there is another


mechanism of shifting the workload. Local machines don't have to
perform massive lifting operations when it comes to run
applications. Cloud technology can handle those heavy loaded
tasks automatically, easily, and efficiently. This brings down the
hardware & software demands. The only thing that the users have
to think of is the system's cloud computing interface software,
which works merely as a web-browser at the front end of the user.
The cloud's network takes care of the rest along with the back-end.
CLOUD COMPUTING ARCHITECTURE

The back-end is connected through a virtual network or internet.


Other than that, there are few more components such as
Middleware, cloud resources, etc. that include cloud computing
architecture. The backend is used by service providers that
include various servers, computers, virtual machines & data
storage facilities combined to form the cloud technology. Its
dedicated server handles each application in the system. The
front end includes the cloud computing system or network used
to access the cloud computing system. The cloud computing
systems' interface varies from cloud to cloud.
CLOUD COMPUTING ARCHITECTURE

The back-end has two principal responsibilities:

1. Provides traffic control mechanisms, security postures &


governing the protocols.

2. To employ those internet protocols that are connected to the


networked computer for communication.
CLOUD COMPUTING ARCHITECTURE

One central server is used to manage the entire cloud system


architecture. The server is solely responsible for handling the
smoothness of traffic without disruption. Middleware is a
particular type of software that is used to perform processes &
also connects networked computers. Depending on the
client/user's demand, the storage is provided by the cloud
technology's service provider.
