Cloud Computing Concepts

• “Cloud computing is shared pools of configurable computer

system resources and higher-level services that can be
rapidly provisioned with minimal management effort, often
over the Internet.”
-- Wikipedia

• The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology)

defines “Cloud Computing” as:

“Cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient,

on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable
computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and
services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with
4
minimal management effort or service provider interaction.”
(Ubiquitous: available everywhere, globally)

Cloud Computing Concepts Continued…

• Cloud computing providers own and maintain the network-connected

hardware required for these application services, while you provision and
use what you need for your workloads.
• Cloud computing is an approach that uses the efficient pooling of an on-
demand, self-managed, virtual infrastructure.

Understanding Private Cloud and Public Cloud
Types of cloud (Deployment Models)
• Private clouds are pools of resources dedicated to a single enterprise, within a
company – for private use.
• Public cloud provided from the service providers (with pay as you go concept),
offers many types of IT operations for multiple businesses at a one time. For
example, Google Cloud Platform, Amazon AWS, Azure from Microsoft.
• Hybrid clouds are mix of the both private and public services. IT assets are
housed both internally on customer premises and in public clouds.

Types of Cloud Services: IaaS, PaaS, SaaS
Cloud-computing providers offer their
"services" according to different models, which
happen to form a stack: infrastructure-,
platform- and software-as-a-service

Look inside a Cloud datacenter
• New-age equipment: Data centers have
been witness to migration from rack
servers to blade and blade-like servers.
• A current trend is the convergence or
hyper convergence of servers and
storage into a single box, which is being
driven by the availability of solid-state
drives.

• Here’s a sneak preview with outtakes from the video tour of a Google data
center, which showcased the company’s use of shipping containers to store
servers and storage. Each of these 40-foot data center containers can house up to
1,160 servers, and Google has been using them since it built this facility in late
2005. Inside a Google data center:
