Cloud Computing

Story line – A phone call

There is a phone call…….

Tony: Hey

John: How are you Tony?

Tony: Hey I have a situation here, we are getting a contract

from KNBC can you quickly get started with provisioning some
servers, we need to get a POC over to them right away before
the end of this week.

John: OK, But!!! End of this week?

Tony: Just get it done everyone’s waiting on you (Hangs up)

 Story line- TODOS

TODOS for John and the developers

1. Ask Tony what are the CPU requirements,

memory, storage and network capacity
2. Does anyone need a secure login?
3. How about backing up data?
4. Security
5. What softwares do I need?
6. ……….
7. ……………….
 Story line: His boss and his team are just
after John

John is clueless. He can’t seem to figure out how to do it all. He

relies on his team to get the job done but the team is in a state
of stress because they have no idea why John took up this task
with such a short deadline
 Story line: Some more questions?

- Want to support a large application?

- Do you need rapid access to flexible low cost IT resources?
- You don’t have the money to make an upfront investment?
- Do you know the requirements for your infrastructure and softwares?
- Do you need an automated back up?
- A fault tolerant, resilient system, is that something you are thinking of?
- What about upgrades to Operating Systems?
 Story line: What is cloud computing?

• Trade capital expense for variable expense.

• Stop guessing capacity.

• Scale your application at will.

• Stop spending your money on running and

maintaining data centers

• Go online in minutes.

• Forget about installing software, if you can

just install it and BYOL (bring your own
license)
 Story line: Infrastructure As A Service

Infrastructure as a Service, sometimes abbreviated as IaaS,

contains the basic building blocks for cloud IT and typically
provide access to networking features, computers (virtual or on
dedicated hardware), and data storage space. Infrastructure as
a Service provides you with the highest level of flexibility and
management control over your IT resources and is most similar
to existing IT resources that many IT departments and
developers are familiar with today.
 Story line: Platform As A Service

Platforms as a service remove the need for organizations to

manage the underlying infrastructure (usually hardware and
operating systems) and allow you to focus on the deployment
and management of your applications. This helps you be more
efficient as you don’t need to worry about resource
procurement, capacity planning, software maintenance,
patching, or any of the other undifferentiated heavy lifting
involved in running your application.
 Story line: Software As A Service

Software as a Service provides you with a completed product

that is run and managed by the service provider. In most cases,
people referring to Software as a Service are referring to end-
user applications. With a SaaS offering you do not have to think
about how the service is maintained or how the underlying
infrastructure is managed; you only need to think about how
you will use that particular piece software. A common example
of a SaaS application is web-based email where you can send
and receive email without having to manage feature additions to
the email product or maintaining the servers and operating
systems that the email program is running on.
