Cloud Computing

Cloud Computing delivers computing services over the internet, allowing users to pay only for what they use. Key characteristics include on-demand self-service, broad network access, resource pooling, rapid elasticity, and a pay-as-you-go model. It encompasses various service models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) and deployment models (public, private, hybrid), offering advantages like cost-effectiveness and scalability, while facing challenges such as data security and internet dependency.

☁️ Cloud Computing

📌 Definition:

Cloud Computing is the delivery of computing services like servers, storage, databases,
networking, software, and more over the internet (the cloud). You pay only for what you use.

🧱 Key Characteristics:

 On-Demand Self-Service – Users can get services without human interaction


 Broad Network Access – Services accessible from anywhere via internet
 Resource Pooling – Shared resources among many users
 Rapid Elasticity – Scales resources up/down as needed
 Measured Service – Pay-as-you-go model

Service Models:

1. IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service)


o Provides virtual servers, storage, networks
o Example: AWS EC2, Google Compute Engine
2. PaaS (Platform as a Service)
o Provides platforms to build, test, deploy apps
o Example: Google App Engine, Heroku
3. SaaS (Software as a Service)
o Ready-to-use software via browser
o Example: Gmail, Microsoft 365, Zoom

☁️Deployment Models:

 Public Cloud – Services available to all (e.g., AWS, Azure)


 Private Cloud – Used by a single organization
 Hybrid Cloud – Combination of public and private cloud

💼 Advantages:

 Cost-effective (no hardware purchase)


 Scalable and flexible
 Reliable with data backup
 Accessible from anywhere
 Automatic software updates

Challenges:

 Data security & privacy risks


 Downtime & internet dependency
 Limited control over backend

🔧 Popular Cloud Providers:

 Amazon Web Services (AWS)


 Microsoft Azure
 Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
 IBM Cloud
 Oracle Cloud

📈 Uses of Cloud Computing:

 Data storage and backup


 Website & app hosting
 Software development and testing
 Big data analytics
 Streaming services (e.g., Netflix)
