Cloud Computing
Basics
What is Cloud Computing?
Cloud computing delivers computing services—like
servers, storage, databases, networking, software—
over the internet (the “cloud”)
on-demand.
Benefits:
•Scalability: Instantly scale resources up/down
based on demand.
•Cost-efficiency: Pay only for what you use—no
need for hardware investment.
•Flexibility: Access data and tools from anywhere
Data Analytics in
the Cloud
Traditional vs. Cloud Data Analytics:
•Traditional: On-premise servers, limited storage,
high maintenance.
•Cloud: Real-time processing, scalable storage,
collaboration-friendly.
Billing Models in Cloud Computing:
•Pay-as-you-go: Pay only for resources
consumed.
•Subscription-based: Fixed cost for predefined
services.
Data
Lifecycle
Stages in the Data Lifecycle:
1.Data Entry: Collection or generation of
raw data.
2.Processing: Cleaning, enriching,
transforming data.
3.Storage: Organized storage in cloud
systems (e.g., BigQuery).
4.Destruction/Archival: Secure deletion or
long-term archiving.
Importance:
•Ensures data protection, compliance
Role of Cloud Data
Analyst
Key Tasks of a Cloud Data Analyst:
•Data Acquisition: Collecting data from multiple
sources.
•Storage: Organizing structured/unstructured
data in the cloud.
•Transformation & Visualization: Cleaning,
processing, and converting data into visual
insights.
Responsibilities:
