Cloud Deployment Models
• Cloud Deployment Model functions as a virtual
computing environment with a deployment
architecture that varies depending on the amount
of data you want to store and who has access to
the infrastructure.
• The cloud deployment model identifies the specific
type of cloud environment based on ownership, scale,
and access, as well as the cloud’s nature and purpose.
• The location of the servers you’re utilizing and who
controls them are defined by a cloud deployment
model.
• It specifies how your cloud infrastructure will look,
what you can change, and whether you will be given
services or will have to create everything yourself.

Advantages:
• Minimal Investment: Because it is a pay-per-
use service, there is no substantial upfront
fee, making it excellent for enterprises that
require immediate access to resources.
• No setup cost: The entire infrastructure is
fully subsidized by the cloud service

AWS Public Cloud
• In the public cloud space, AWS provides
services such as the Amazon Elastic
Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), which
provides infrastructure and services over
the public internet and are hosted at an
identified AWS Region (for example,
Canada Central).
• Although the infrastructure and services
are provisioned from a remote location,
the customer has no control and limited
visibility over where the service is hosted. AWS public cloud is well-suited for the following:

Private Cloud
• The private cloud deployment model is
the exact opposite of the public cloud
deployment model.
• It’s a one-on-one environment for a
single user (customer).
• There is no need to share your
hardware with anyone else.
• The distinction between private and
public clouds is in how you handle all
of the hardware.
• It is also called the “internal cloud” & • The cloud platform is implemented in a cloud-

Hybrid Cloud
• By bridging the public and private
worlds with a layer of proprietary
software, hybrid cloud computing
gives the best of both worlds.
• With a hybrid solution, you may host
the app in a safe environment while
taking advantage of the public cloud’s
cost savings.
• Organizations can move data and
applications between different clouds
using a combination of two or more
cloud deployment methods, depending
on their needs.

Cloud
Advantages of the Hybrid Cloud Model
• Flexibility and control: Businesses with
more flexibility can design personalized
solutions that meet their particular needs.
• Cost: Because public clouds provide
scalability, you’ll only be responsible for
paying for the extra capacity if you
require it.
• Security: Because data is properly
separated, the chances of data theft by
attackers are considerably reduced. Disadvantages of the Hybrid Cloud Model
•Difficult to manage: Hybrid clouds are difficult to
manage as it is a combination of both public and private
cloud. So, it is complex.
•Slow data transmission: Data transmission in the
hybrid cloud takes place through the public cloud so
latency occurs.

Conclusion-Module-1 Module-1; Summary

• Cloud computing is a transformative technology that enables convenient, on-demand

network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (like networks,
servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and
released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.
• Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a leading provider in the cloud computing industry,
offering a wide range of services and solutions. AWS operates on a global scale with
data centers strategically located worldwide, providing scalability, reliability, and high
performance.
• Cloud service models categorize cloud offerings based on the level of abstraction and
control they provide:
• Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): Offers virtualized computing resources over the
internet.
• Platform as a Service (PaaS): Provides a platform allowing customers to develop,
run, and manage applications without dealing with the underlying infrastructure.
• Software as a Service (SaaS): Delivers software applications over the internet on a
subscription basis, eliminating the need for local installation and maintenance.
Conclusion-Module-1 Module-1; Summary

• Cloud deployment models define how cloud services are made available to users:
• Public Cloud: Services are delivered over the public internet and are owned and
operated by third-party providers.
• Private Cloud: Cloud infrastructure is dedicated to a single organization and is
either managed internally or by a third party.
• Hybrid Cloud: Combines public and private cloud services, allowing data and
applications to be shared between them.
• AWS Global Infrastructure comprises Regions and Availability Zones: Regions are
separate geographic areas with multiple Availability Zones (AZs) that are isolated
from each other to provide fault tolerance and stability.
• Availability Zones (AZs) are distinct data centers within a region, each with
independent power, cooling, and networking to ensure fault isolation.
• AWS operates on a Shared Responsibility Model: AWS is responsible for securing the
infrastructure that runs all of the services offered in the AWS Cloud.
• Customers are responsible for security "in" the cloud, which includes data
protection, identity and access management, and compliance.
