Cloud Computing Basics

The document provides information about various cloud computing concepts: Platform as a service (PaaS) allows consumers to deploy applications using programming languages and tools supported by the cloud provider, while not managing the underlying infrastructure. A community cloud's infrastructure is for exclusive use by organizations with shared security and compliance needs, and may be owned and operated by the community or third parties. Virtual routers and switches perform the functions of physical routers and switches in a software-based and virtualized environment, routing traffic between networks and maintaining routing tables. Storage area networks (SANs) connect storage devices like disk arrays centrally for shared storage, using a block-level approach to enhance management and performance.

PLATFORM AS A SERVICE
• According to the NIST, platform as a
service (PaaS) is defined as follows: “The
capability provided to the consumer is to
deploy onto the cloud infrastructure
consumer-created or acquired applications
created using programming languages,
libraries, services and tools supported by
the provider. The consumer does not
manage or control the underlying cloud
infrastructure including network, servers,
operating systems, or storage, but has
control over the deployed applications and
possible configuration settings for the
application-hosting environment.”

COMMUNITY CLOUD
• A community cloud is defined as
follows: “The cloud infrastructure
is provisioned for exclusive use by
a specific community of consumers
from organizations that have shared
concerns (e.g., mission, security
requirements, policy, and
compliance considerations). It may
be owned, managed, and operated
by one or more of the organizations
in the community, a third party, or
some combination of them, and it
may exist on or off premises.”
VIRTUAL ROUTER
A virtual router refers to a software-based or virtualized networking device that performs the functions of a physical
router. It operates within a virtualized environment, typically on a server or cloud infrastructure, and routes network traffic
between different networks or subnets.

Routers establish communication by maintaining tables about destinations and local connections. A router contains
information about the systems connected to it and where to send requests if the destination is not known. These routing
tables grow as connections are made through the router. Routing can occur within the network (interior) or outside of it
(exterior). Routes can be configured as static or dynamic.

Virtual routers offer flexibility, scalability, and cost savings compared to traditional hardware routers. They are particularly
valuable in modern, dynamic, and virtualized network environments where the ability to quickly adapt to changing
network demands is essential.
VIRTUAL SWITCHES

A virtual switch, also known as a vSwitch, is a software-based networking Virtual switches are essential for managing network traffic in virtualized
component used in virtualization environments. It plays a crucial role in data centers and cloud environments. They provide the flexibility and agility

STORAGE AREA NETWORKS


A Storage Area Network (SAN) is a specialized high-speed network or dedicated network that connects and consolidates
storage devices, such as disk arrays, tape libraries, and servers, to provide a centralized and shared storage infrastructure.
SANs are designed to enhance storage management, improve data accessibility, and increase the scalability and
performance of storage resources.

SANs use a block-level storage approach, meaning they present storage devices as raw storage blocks (typically fixed-size
chunks) rather than files or directories.

Storage Area Networks are a crucial component in modern data centers and enterprise environments, enabling efficient
storage management, data accessibility, and scalability while maintaining high performance and reliability.
