Key Cloud Computing Features & Models

The document discusses the characteristics, deployment models, service models, types of cloud storage, and virtualization as they relate to cloud computing. Key characteristics of cloud include on-demand self-service, broad network access, resource pooling, rapid elasticity, and measured service. Deployment models include private, public, hybrid, and multi-cloud. Service models are infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and software as a service (SaaS).

Cloud is server that is accessed over internet

Characteristics
(Any cloud service providers should have 5 essential characterstics )

On demand self service:

Users can provision computing resources independently using a self-service portal,


minimizing the need for human intervention from the service provider

Tasks include creating infrastructure, launching n servers, launching networks, and


establishing internet connectivity.

Broad Network Access:

Cloud services are accessible over the internet from various devices, enabling users to access
their resources from anywhere with an internet connection.

Resource Pooling:

Cloud providers maintain a pool of computing resources, both physical and virtual, which can
be dynamically allocated and reassigned based on consumer demand.

Rapid Elasticity:

Cloud services can rapidly scale up or down to meet changing demands.

Automation and monitoring tools facilitate provisioning and de-provisioning of resources


based on predefined thresholds or metrics.

Measured Service:

Pay according to the services you use

Deployment models

(how we can access the cloud services)


Private cloud: data centers owned by specific enterprises

Entire cloud infrastructure is managed, maintained and give access to only employees of that
organization

Ex: VMware, Microsoft, RedHat, OpenStack)

Public cloud: a third party cloud service providers who can give access to anyone in world
not restricting to specific organization
Ex: AWS, Google, Microsoft Azure

Hybrid Cloud: public cloud + private cloud services are consumed & connected using vpn

Multi cloud : usage of two or more public cloud / private clouds

Service Models
(What kind of services are provides through cloud)

On-Premise: access to everything network storage, physical servers, virtualization


environment

Infrastructure as a service (IaaS):

The cloud service provider, provides access to user to almost all aspects of virtual
infrastructure i.e. conf. of OS in virtual machine, choosing ram, cpu, bandwidth, hard drives,
hard drive spaces, firewalls

But Physical infra taken care by cloud service provider (CSP)

Control over operating system

Platform as a service (PaaS):

More suited for developers who have no idea to setup infrastructure

They don’t depend on another team to set up infrastructure, they use a ready made platforms
like AWS for uploading the applications

Control over Application and data

Software as a service (SaaS):

The end user access services from cloud using this service model they do not manage or
control the application

Types of Cloud Storage


Cloud Object Storage:

Do not have visibility to hard drive where the data is stored

You can upload files called objects and give permissions

Cloud Block Storage:

Integral part IaaS where User give access to virtual hard drive
Great solution for user who needs to increase HDD space

Virtualization

Process of creating virtual version of h/w, os, storage devices or n/w resources

Hypervisor used to create and manage multiple virtual machines on single physical server
