What Is The Cloud?

The cloud refers to a network of servers


that store and manage data and
applications over the internet instead of
on a local computer or server.
HOW DOES THE CLOUD
WORK?
The cloud works by
allowing users to
access and store data
and applications over
the internet instead of
on a local computer or
server.

(SaaS)
1. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS):
Provides virtualized computing resources like servers, storage, and networking.
Users manage the operating systems, applications, and data, while the provider handles the infrastructure.
Example: Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Compute Engine.
2. Platform as a Service (PaaS):
Offers a platform for developers to build, test, and deploy applications without worrying about underlying
infrastructure.
Includes tools, frameworks, and runtime environments.
Example: Google App Engine, Microsoft Azure App Service, Heroku.
3. Software as a Service (SaaS):
Delivers fully functional software applications over the internet on a subscription basis.
Users interact with the software through a browser, without managing infrastructure or application updates.
Example: Microsoft Office 365, Google Workspace, Salesforce.
4. Function as a Service (FaaS):
A serverless computing model where users execute code in response to events without managing servers.
Example: AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Functions, Azure Functions.
5. Storage as a Service (STaaS):
Provides scalable cloud storage solutions for data backup, archiving, and file sharing.
Example: Dropbox, Google Drive, Amazon S3.
WHAT IS THE
PURPOSE OF THE
CLOUD?
• The main purpose of the cloud
is to provide scalable and
flexible computing resources
and services that can be
accessed over the internet.
Here are
some key
purposes:
1. **Data
Storage**: The
cloud allows users
to store vast
amounts of data
securely offsite,
freeing up local
storage space and
ensuring data is
accessible from
anywhere.
2. **Resource
Sharing**: It enables
multiple users to share
resources and services,
which promotes
collaboration and
efficiency.
3. **Operational
Efficiency**: By
utilizing cloud
services,
organizations can
reduce the costs
associated with
maintaining physical
infrastructure, as they
can scale resources
up or down based on
current needs.
4. **Backup and
Recovery**: The
cloud provides an
efficient way to back
up and recover data,
safeguarding against
data loss due to
hardware failures or
other disasters.
5. **Access to Advanced
Technologies**: Users
can easily access
advanced technologies,
such as artificial
intelligence and machine
learning tools, without
needing to invest heavily
in on-premises hardware
and software.
6. **Remote Work Support**:
The cloud facilitates remote
work by allowing employees
to access files and
applications from anywhere,
encouraging flexibility and
productivity. Overall, the cloud
enhances both individual and
organizational capabilities by
providing on-demand access
to resources, fostering
collaboration, and optimizing
operational processes.
The cloud can be safe if proper security measures are in
place. Major cloud providers invest heavily in security,
offering features like data encryption, access controls, and
regular monitoring. However, safety depends on:

Is The
Provider Security: Choose reputable providers with
robust security standards.

User Practices: Use strong passwords, enable multi-

Cloud
factor authentication, and follow best practices.

Compliance: Ensure the cloud service complies with

Safe?
relevant regulations (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA).

Shared Responsibility: Understand that security is


shared between the provider and the user.

While no system is entirely risk-free, proper precautions


can make cloud usage highly secure.
