Learning Objective: Cloud Computing
What is cloud computing?

Cloud Computing is the delivery of computing services over the internet,

enabling faster innovation, flexible resources, and economies of scale.

Compute Networking Storage

Private cloud

• Organizations create a cloud

environment in their datacenter.
• Organization is responsible for
operating the services they provide.
• Does not provide access to users
outside of the organization.
Public cloud

• Owned by cloud services or hosting

provider.

• Provides resources and services to

multiple organizations and users.

• Accessed via secure network connection

(typically over the internet).
Hybrid cloud

Combines Public and Private clouds to allow applications to run in the

most appropriate location.
Cloud model comparison

• No capital expenditures to scale up

Public Cloud • Applications can be quickly provisioned and deprovisioned
• Organizations pay only for what they use

• Hardware must be purchased for start-up and maintenance

Private Cloud • Organizations have complete control over resources and security
• Organizations are responsible for hardware maintenance and updates

• Provides the most flexibility

Hybrid Cloud • Organizations determine where to run their applications
• Organizations control security, compliance, or legal requirements
Compare CapEx vs. OpEx

Capital Expenditure (CapEx) Operational Expenditure (OpEx)

• The up-front spending of money on physical • Spend on products and services as needed, pay-
infrastructure as-you-go
• Costs from CapEx have a value that reduces over • Get billed immediately
time
Consumption-based model

Cloud service providers operate on a consumption-based model, which means

that end users only pay for the resources that they use. Whatever they use is what
they pay for.

• Better cost prediction

• Prices for individual resources and services are provided

• Billing is based on actual usage
