What is Cloud Computing?

Cloud Computing is the delivery of

services- servers, storage, databases,
networking, software, and analytics
over the internet. Companies that
offer these computing services are
called cloud providers and charge for
cloud computing services based on
use.
What are the benefits of using cloud
computing?

Well, here are a few things you can do in the cloud:

• Create new apps and services
• Host websites and blogs
• Store, back up, and recover data
• Deliver audio, video, and software on demand
• Finally, analyze data for patterns and predictions
Types of cloud deployments: public, private,
and hybrid
Public Cloud
Public clouds are owned and
operated by third-party cloud
services providers, which deliver
computing resources like servers
and storage over the Internet to
users. Microsoft Azure is an
example of a public cloud. With a
public cloud, hardware, software,
and other supporting infrastructure
is owned and managed by the cloud
provider.
Private Cloud
A private cloud refers to cloud
computing resources used
exclusively by a business or
organization.
Some companies also pay third
party services providers to host
their private cloud.
Hybrid Cloud
Hybrid clouds also combine public and
private clouds, they bound together
by technologies that allows data and
applications to be shared between
them.
Although Cloud computing services all
work differently depending on the
Internet provider. Some cloud
computing services are also designed
to work with REST APIs and the
command line interface (CLI) giving
developers multiple options.
Microsoft is a leading global provider
of clouds computing services for
business of all sizes.
Types of Cloud services: IaaS, PaaS, SaaS
Infrastructure-as-a
service (IaaS)
The most basic category of cloud
computing services. (IaaS) lets you
use servers, virtual machines,
storage, networks, operating systems
based on the providers basis and
charge.
Platform as a service
(PaaS)
A cloud computing service that
supplies an on-demand environment
for developing, testing, delivering,
and managing software
applications.
Software as a
service (SaaS)
A method for delivering software
applications over the internet, on demand
and on a subscription basis.
With SaaS, cloud providers host and
manage the software application and
underlying infrastructure and handle
maintenance like software upgrades
and security patching.
What are the top benefits of cloud
computing?
• 1. Cost – Cloud computing will eliminate the expense of
buying hardware and software along with server cooling racks
to manage infrastructure.
• 2. Speed – Cloud computing services provide self service, even
vast amounts of computing resources can be obtained within
minutes.
• 3. Global Scale - The benefits of cloud computing include scale
flexibility, while delivering the correct amount of IT resources.
• 4. Productivity - Cloud computing eliminates hardware set up, and
software patching, and many other management tasks to speed up
the process of achieving goals.
• 5. Performance – The biggest cloud computing services run on
worldwide networks of secure datacenters, which in turn regularly
upgrades to the latest and most efficient computer hardware.
• 6. Reliability - Cloud Computing makes data backup, disaster
recovery, and business continuity easier and less expensive
because data can be mirrors at multiple sites on the cloud
provider’s network.
Other types of cloud computing services

• Public APIs (application programming interfaces) – • Collaboration platforms – Basically

Public APIs offer developers application functionality
that can be accessed programmatically. API’s enable
customers to consume data or access application
functionality.
• iPaaS (integration platform as a service) - IPaaS
providers typically offer prebuilt connectors for
sharing data among popular SaaS applications,
though providers may focus on cloud integration and
traditional SOA-style integrations.
• IDaaS (identity as a service) – IDaaS provers maintain
cloud-based user profiles that help to authenticate
users and enable access to applications and resources
based on security polices, user groups, and individual
privileges.
collaboration solutions that are relatively SaaS
applications that support messaging along
with file sharing and audio and video
communication.
• Vertical clouds – Key plater in major financial,
healthcare, retail, life sciences, and
manufacturing provide PaaS clouds to enable
customers to build vertical applications that
tap into specific, API-accessible services.
Life before Cloud Computing?

• Traditional business applications have always be very complex and

expensive. The amount and variety within the hardware and
software that was required to run was formidable. You needed an
entire team of experts to install, configure, test, run, secure, and
update the system.
Deploying containers in clouds

• Deploying containers in clouds is basically deploying PaaS (which

provides the language, runtimes, and application) on IaaS (which
provides networks, storage, servers, and virtualization) IaaS is flexible,
but requires extra configuration when an application is deployed. PaaS
can lock down the environment, but can limit customizing application
runtimes. Deploying them together reduce their individual limitations.
• Containers provide a few things: The application, all of its
dependencies, and the automation necessary to deploy it. Containers
can even be packaged by a developer, offering specific amounts of
flexibility and portability so a user can move a standard container
format for one cloud provider to another.
Give yourself more options with cloud
computing
• 1. Develop cloud-native applications –
develop and deploy innovate cloud-native
applications designed for the cloud
community.
• 2 Create cognitive solutions – Create new
partnerships between people and
computers that enhance existing solutions
for accelerating human enterprise.
• 3. Fuel innovation with data and analytics –
Engage your organization with data to
answer specific questions, uncover
patterns, and pursue your ideas.
• 4. Keep existing solutions on a private cloud
– Keep your cloud, your cloud with a private
cloud that is dedicated to your organization
to provide stronger control and security.
• 5. Leverage cloud for development and
testing – Build new capabilities for digital
disruption by developing, testing and
deploying applications at the speed of
cloud and enterprise scale.
• 6. Create and extend cloud-native and
legacy applications and data – integrate
applications, data and processes across
both on-premises and cloud environments.
• 7 Build and scale existing apps in the public
cloud – Move workloads to the cloud
seamlessly, enabled by a common platform
for management, networking, and security.
