BENEFITS OF AWS(CLOUD COMPUTING)
1. What is Cloud Computing?
Cloud computing is a term referred to storing and accessing data over the internet. It doesn't store any
data on the hard disk of your personal computer. In cloud computing, you can access data from a
remote server.
2. Write history and varous benefits of AWS with the help of example.
Amazon web service is a platform that offers flexible, reliable, scalable, easy-to-use and cost-
effective cloud computing solutions. AWS is a comprehensive, easy to use computing platform
offered Amazon. The platform is developed with a combination of infrastructure as a service (IaaS),
platform as a service (PaaS) and packaged software as a service (SaaS) offerings.

4. As per the understanding specify the main Real-time application for the usage of cloud computing?
1. Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
Two popular forms of cloud computing are PaaS or Platform as a service and IaaS or Infrastructure as a
service. In the PaaS model, the hardware and software tools are provided to the users by a third party,
generally for application development. The hardware and software are hosted by the provider.
In the IaaS model, cloud computing is provided on virtualized computing resources via the internet. The IaaS model
is quite popular among companies as it cuts costs on investing and managing an entire IT structure since pay-per-use
schemes are available for cloud computing services on the internet. PaaS is also used with the same cost-cutting
philosophy, along with boosting the speed of developing and deploying applications on a ready-to-use platform.
Both these cloud computing applications have made it much easier for businesses to be productive as well as cost-
effective.
2. Hybrid Cloud Approach
While deploying an application, it is important to deploy it in a limited environment to test out the workload and the
comfort of using the application. Creating this environment is costly and would be a complete waste if the
application fails. Hence, many companies use the hybrid cloud approach, which creates a platform for infrastructure
and applications. During limited peak usage, a hybrid cloud can expand – a feature that is preferred over hosting of
large infrastructures. You can even expand on the various services based on the pay-per-use service features
provided by Hybrid cloud services.
3. Testing and development
Cloud computing applications can help in creating a wonderful test and development environment for many
developers. Traditionally, such an environment would have required time, a hefty budget for setting up the physical
assets, and manpower. It is clear that setting up such an environment is not especially cost-effective and will stretch
the deadlines and budget for a project. However, with the help of cloud computing, you can have all these resources
delivered to you almost instantly with a comparatively lower cost. This feature can also be combined with the
automatic allocation of virtual and physical resources.
