Cloud Computing Simplified!!
“The cloud” refers to servers that are accessed over the Internet, and the software and databases that run on those servers. Cloud servers are located in data centers all over the world.
Cloud computing is on-demand access, via the internet, to computing resources — applications, servers (physical servers and virtual servers), data storage, development tools, networking capabilities, and more — hosted at a remote data center managed by a cloud services provider (or CSP). The CSP makes these resources available for a monthly subscription fee or bills them according to usage.
Why to use cloud computing?
There are many benefits of cloud computing in terms of reduced cost, higher speeds, increased productivity, better security and many others.
The image below summarizes the advantages of cloud computing:
Cloud Computing Services
IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service), PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service), and SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) are the three most common models of cloud services, and it’s not uncommon for an organization to use all three. However, there is often confusion among the three and what’s included with each:
Types of Cloud Deployment
Not all clouds are the same and not one type of cloud computing is right for everyone. Several different models, types and services have evolved to help offer the right solution for your needs.
These are some of the basic concepts in cloud computing to get started with. I have tried simplify the concepts with more visual representations.
