Cloud Deployment Models

The Cloud Deployment Model operates as a virtual computing environment with a deployment architecture
that varies based on the quantity of data to store and who has access to the infrastructure.

Types of Deployment Models

The cloud deployment model classifies cloud environments according

to ownership, scale, and access, as well as the cloud's nature and
purpose. A cloud deployment paradigm defines the location and
control of the servers you use.

20
Introduction to GCP

1. Public Cloud

• The public cloud allows anyone to access systems and services.

• The public cloud may be less secure because it is accessible to
everybody. The public cloud is one in which cloud infrastructure
services are made available via the internet to the general public or
significant industrial groupings. The infrastructure in this cloud model
is controlled by the organization that provides the cloud services, not
the consumer.
• It is a sort of cloud hosting that enables clients and users to
quickly access systems and services.

21
Introduction to GCP

1. Public Cloud (Contd..)

• This type of cloud computing is an outstanding example of cloud hosting, in which service providers
offer services to a wide range of consumers. For example, Google App Engine etc.
Examples:

• Netflix: One of the most popular examples of a company utilizing public cloud services. Netflix
leverages public cloud infrastructure, particularly Amazon Web Services (AWS), to host its streaming
services. This allows Netflix to scale their services globally while handling massive amounts of
streaming data.

• Spotify: Another streaming service that relies on public cloud infrastructure, specifically Google Cloud
Platform (GCP). Spotify uses the cloud to store and stream music to its millions of users worldwide,
providing scalability and reliability. 22
Introduction to GCP

Advantages of Public Cloud

• Minimal Investment: Because it is a pay-per-use service, there is no significant upfront cost, making
it ideal for businesses that need rapid access to resources.

• No setup costs: The cloud service providers totally finance the entire infrastructure, thus no hardware
is required.

• Infrastructure management is not required. Using the public cloud does not require
infrastructure management.

• No maintenance: The service provider performs the maintenance work (not the users).

• Dynamic Scalability: Resources are available to meet the demands of your business on the basis of
On demand. 23
Introduction to GCP

Disadvantages of Public Cloud

Less secure: Because public cloud resources are public, high-level security cannot be guaranteed.

Low customization: Because it is widely used, it cannot be tailored to specific needs.

24
Introduction to GCP

2. Private Cloud
• It is a one-on-one setting for a single user (client).
• The difference between private and public clouds lies in how
you manage all of the hardware.
• It is also known as the "internal cloud" and refers to the
capacity to access systems and services within a specific border
or business.
• The cloud platform is deployed in a cloud-based secure
environment guarded by robust firewalls and overseen by an
organization's IT team.
• The private cloud provides more flexibility and control over
cloud resources. 25
Introduction to GCP

Advantages of Private Cloud

• Better Control: You are the only owner of the property. You will have comprehensive control
over service integration, IT operations, policies, and user behavior.

• Data Security and Privacy: It is appropriate for storing corporate information that only authorized
personnel may access. Resources can be segmented within the same infrastructure to increase access and
security.

• Supports legacy systems: This technique is intended to operate with legacy systems that are unable to
reach the public cloud.

• Customization: Unlike a public cloud deployment, a private cloud enables a business to personalize its
solution to its own requirements.
26
Introduction to GCP

Disadvantages of Private Cloud

• Private clouds are less scalable since they have fewer clients.

• Private clouds are more expensive since they provide personalized features.

27
Introduction to GCP

3. Hybrid Cloud

Hybrid cloud computing combines the public and private worlds with a layer of proprietary software to get the
best of both. A hybrid solution allows you to host the software in a secure location while saving money by
using the public cloud. Depending on the specific requirements, organizations can migrate data and
applications between clouds by combining two or more cloud deployment strategies.

28
Introduction to GCP

Advantages of Hybrid Cloud

• Flexibility and control: Businesses with greater flexibility can create customized solutions
to match their specific requirements.

• Cost: Because public clouds offer scalability, you'll only have to pay for additional capacity if you need
it.

• Security: Because data is appropriately divided, the probability of data theft by intruders is greatly
decreased.

29
Introduction to GCP

Disadvantages of Hybrid Cloud

• Hybrid clouds are tough to manage since they include public and private clouds. So it is difficult.

• Data transmission in the hybrid cloud occurs via the public cloud, resulting in delay.

30
Introduction to GCP

4. Community Cloud

It enables several companies to access systems and services. It is a distributed system formed by combining
the services of various clouds to meet the special requirements of a community, industry, or enterprise. The
infrastructure of the community could be shared by organizations that share concerns or tasks. It is typically
handled by a third party or a coalition of community organizations.

31
Introduction to GCP

Advantages of Community Cloud

• It is cost-effective since the cloud is shared by several enterprises or communities.

• The community cloud offers superior security.

• You can share resources, infrastructure, and so on with various organizations.

• It supports both collaboration and data sharing.

32
Introduction to GCP

Disadvantages of Community Cloud

• Community cloud has limited scalability because multiple groups share the same resources based on
their collaborative interests.

• Data and resources are shared among multiple organizations based on their mutual interests, if one
organization wishes to make modifications to meet their needs, they are unable to do so because it will
affect other organizations.

33
Introduction to GCP

Cloud Service Models​

There are Three types of service models used in cloud.

1.Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
2.Platform as a Service (PaaS)
3.Software as a Service (SaaS)

34
Introduction to GCP

1. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

IaaS is also called Hardware as a Service (HaaS). It is a computing infrastructure that is operated via the
Internet. The primary benefit of using IaaS is that it saves users the cost and complexity of purchasing and
managing physical servers. Example: DigitalOcean, Linode, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure,
Google Compute Engine (GCE)

35
Introduction to GCP

Characteristics of IaaS
• The provider can deploy the resources to the customer's environment at any moment.

• Its capacity can allow users to scale the firm according to their needs.

43
Introduction to GCP

Virtualization Concepts

• A major benefits of cloud computing is the ability to virtualize and share resources among different
applications with the objectives for better server utilization.

• Cloud computing virtualizes systems by pooling and sharing resources.

• Virtualization is a methodology or framework that divides the resources of a computer into multiple
execution environments.

• In virtualization, resources are divided by applying concepts or technologies such as software and
hardware partitioning, time sharing, partial or complete machine simulation etc.

44
Introduction to GCP

Virtualization Concepts

• By using virtualization, we can make one server appear as multiple servers, a network connection
that appears to exist, a desktop computer that seems to be running multiple operating systems
simultaneously or a large amount of disk space or drivers are available to a user.

• Before virtualization, each machine used a single operating system and it required a lot of investment
to pay for hardware, software and the overall infrastructure to run multiple applications.

• Virtualization has made hardware independent from applications and operating systems.

• The attacks are becoming more sophisticated by the day, and security must stay pace.
• For this reason, it is critical to select a cloud provider that provides the finest security and is adapted to
the organization's architecture. Cloud security has a lot of benefits.
• Centralized security means centralizing protection. As managing all of the devices and endpoints is a
difficult undertaking, cloud security can help. This enhances traffic analysis and site filtering, resulting
in fewer policy and software updates.
• Reduced costs: Investing in cloud computing and cloud security results in less spending on hardware
and less labor in administration.

50
Introduction to GCP

Cloud Security ( Contd..)

• Reduced Administration: It simplifies organization administration by eliminating the need for

manual security setting and frequent security updates.
• Reliability: These are quite reliable, and the cloud may be accessed from anywhere using any
device with correct authorization.
• SSL (Secure Socket Layer) Encryption, Multi Tenancy based Access Control, Intrusion Detection
System, firewalls, penetration testing, tokenization, VPN (Virtual Private Networks), and avoiding
public internet connections are just a few of the security techniques used to make cloud computing
systems more secure.

51
Introduction to GCP

Cloud Security ( Contd..)

Because cloud systems are controlled and accessible via the internet, there are numerous issues associated
with maintaining a secure cloud environment. Some cloud security challenges are:
