Introduction Of Cloud Computing

In this blog, I cover cloud computing, its types and deployment models.

What is Cloud Computing?

Cloud computing is on-demand delivery of IT resources and computing services over the Internet, such as servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and more.

Types of Cloud Computing

Service Models

Infrastructure as a service

• Provides whole infrastructure of a computer as a service.
• In this, we get complete access to the computer OS.
• This eliminates the need for every organization to maintain the IT infrastructure.

Platform as a Service

• This provides the development and deployment tools required to develop applications.
• We need not have access to whole OS.

Software as a Service

• This is a way of delivering applications/software over the Internet as a service.
• Instead of installing and maintaining software, you can simply access it via the Internet. This frees you from complex software and hardware management.

Deployments Models

Public Cloud

• This provides a shared platform that is accessible to the general public through an Internet connection.
• If we have a valid billing agreement with CSP(Cloud Service Provider), then we can use their services.

Private Cloud

• In this, the infrastructure is dedicated to a single organization.
• This is also known as an internal cloud or corporate cloud.

Hybrid Cloud

• A hybrid cloud is the combination of both public and private cloud deployment models. 

To illustrate the differences between public and private cloud deployment models, please see the diagram below:
