What is “Cloud Computing”?

With cloud computing, organizations can consume shared

computing and storage resources rather than building, operating,
and improving infrastructure on their own.

 Cloud computing enables organizations to obtain a flexible, secure,

and cost-effective IT infrastructure.

 These capabilities include compute power, storage, databases,

messaging, and other building block services that run business
applications.

Cloud Computing Service Models

 Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), which provides only a base infrastructure,

leaving the end user responsible for platform and environment configuration
necessary to deploy applications. Amazon’s AWS and Microsoft Azure are prime
examples of IaaS.
 Software as a Service (SaaS) like Gmail
or Salesforce.com.

 Platform as a Service (PaaS), which

helps to reduce the development
overhead (environment configuration)
by providing a ready-to-use platform.
PaaS services can be hosted on top of
infrastructure provided by an IaaS.

Cloud Computing & Amazon Web Services

 Amazon had spent over a decade building and managing the large-
scale, reliable, and efficient IT infrastructure that powered one of the
world’s largest online retail platforms.
 Amazon has decentralized IT infrastructure.
 Using AWS, you can demand compute power, storage, and other
services in minutes .
 Have the flexibility to choose the development platform or
programming model .
 This arrangement enabled our development teams to access compute
and storage resources on demand, and it has increased overall
productivity and agility.
 You pay only for what you use, with no up-front expenses or long-term
commitments, making AWS a cost-effective way to deliver
applications.

AWS Terminology

 Scalability : Ability of a system to expand and contract as per the

workload demands

 Fault Tolerance : Ability of a system to operate without interruption in

the even of failure of a service

 Elasticity : Ability of infrastructure to adapt up and down optimally as

per current workload
