Cloud Computing is a model that delivers applications and services over the internet, allowing users to access a shared pool of configurable computing resources on a pay-as-you-go basis. It includes various service models such as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), each providing different levels of management and control over the computing resources. This paradigm enables efficient resource utilization and reduces the need for in-house hardware and software management.

CLOUD COMPUTING

Cloud Computing is a transformative computing


paradigm that involves delivering applications and
services over the internet. It involves provisioning
of computing, networking and storage resources
on demand and providing these resources as
metered services to the users, in a “pay as you go”
model.
Definition

Cloud Computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous,


convenient,
On-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable
computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage,
applications, and services)that can be rapid provisioned and
released with minimal management effort or service provider
interaction.

CLOUD MODELS
Service Models
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) is a way of delivering services and
applications over the Internet. Instead of installing and maintaining
software, we simply access it via the Internet, freeing ourselves from the
complex software and hardware management. It removes the need to
install and run applications on our own computers or in the data centers
eliminating the expenses of hardware as well as software maintenance.

SaaS provides a complete software solution that you purchase on a pay-


as-you-go basis from a cloud service provider. Most SaaS applications
can be run directly from a web browser without any downloads or
installations required. The SaaS applications are sometimes called Web-
based software, on-demand software, or hosted software.
PaaS is a category of cloud computing that provides a platform and environment
to allow developers to build applications and services over the internet. PaaS
services are hosted in the cloud and accessed by users simply via their web
browser.

A PaaS provider hosts the hardware and software on its own infrastructure. As a
result, PaaS frees users from having to install in-house hardware and software to
develop or run a new application. Thus, the development and deployment of the
application take place independent of the hardware.

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 possibly configuration settings for the
application-hosting environment. To make it simple, take the example of an
annual day function, you will have two options either to create a venue or to rent
a venue but the function is the same.
Infrastructure as a Service
Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) is a service model that delivers computer
infrastructure on an outsourced basis to support various operations.
Typically IaaS is a service where infrastructure is provided as outsourcing
to enterprises such as networking equipment, devices, database, and web
servers.
It is also known as Hardware as a Service (HaaS). IaaS customers pay
on a per-user basis, typically by the hour, week, or month. Some providers
also charge customers based on the amount of virtual machine space they
use.
It simply provides the underlying operating systems, security, networking,
and servers for developing such applications, and services, and deploying
development tools, databases, etc.
