Cloud Computing shows how we live and work today. Whether we like it or
not, it has become an integral part of our lives. Institutions, companies and
businesses of all shapes, sizes and folks of life are now turning to Cloud
Computing. It underpins a vast number of services that includes consumer
services like Gmail or the cloud back-up of the photos on your smartphone, though
to the services which allow large enterprises to host all their data and run all of
their applications in the cloud. Netflix relies on cloud computing services to run its
video streaming service and its other business systems too, and have a number
of other organizations.
Cloud computing is becoming the default option for many apps: software
vendors are increasingly offering their applications as services over the internet
rather than standalone products as they try to switch to a subscription model. But
nothing is perfect and Cloud Computing is no exception. While it is vastly
beneficial, it also has some risks and concerns that should not be overlooked.
Therefore, in this learning activity sheets, we will discuss the overview, advantages
and disadvantages of Cloud Computing in details.
In this activity, you will learn the concept of cloud computing. Is it a literal
cloud where you can store your data? Well, just sit back and read this brief
discussion about what is cloud computing.
CLOUD COMPUTING BRIEF HISTORY
Oracle introduced the Oracle Cloud in 2012, offering the three basics for
business, IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service), PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service), and
SAAS (Software-as-a-Service).

WHAT IS CLOUD COMPUTING?
- storing of data and applications on remote servers, and accessing them via the
internet rather than saving or installing them on your personal or office
computer.
- offers highly scalable capabilities that are difficult or expensive to deliver locally.
Cloud computing
A fundamental concept behind cloud computing is that the location of the service,
and many of the details such as the hardware or operating system on which it is running,
are largely irrelevant to the user.

5. It is location independent – the services are available wherever the client is located.
Hybrid Cloud computing allows you to use combination of both public and private
cloud. This helps companies to maximize their efficiency and deliver better performance
to clients. In this model companies can use public cloud for transfer of non-confidential
data and switch on to private cloud in case of sensitive data transfer or hosting of critical
applications. This model is gaining prominence in many business as it gives benefits of
both the model.

3. Offers better security
4. Offers greater flexibility
2. Platform as a Service or PaaS is essentially a cloud base where you can develop,
test and organize the different applications for your business. Implementing PaaS
simplifies the process of enterprise software development. The virtual runtime
environment provided by PaaS gives a favorable space for developing and testing
applications.
The entire resources offered in the form of servers, storage and networking are
manageable either by the company or a platform provider. Google App Engine and AWS
Elastic Beanstalk are two typical examples of PaaS. PaaS is also subscription based
that gives you flexible pricing options depending on your business requirements.
PaaS Benefits
o Minimal Development Time – PaaS reduces the development time since
the vendor provides all computing resources like server-side components,
which simplifies the process and improve the focus of the development
team.
8
o Multiple Programming Language Support – PaaS offers support for
multiple programming languages, which a software development company
can utilize to build applications for different projects.
o Enhanced Collaboration – With PaaS, your business can benefit from
having enhanced collaboration, which will help integrate your team
dispersed across various locations.

has a regular and predictable requirement for computing services it may be more
economical to provide that service in-house.
Some companies may be reluctant to host sensitive data in a service that is
also used by rivals. Moving to a SaaS application may also mean you are using
the same applications as a rival, which may make it hard to create any competitive
advantage if that application is core to your business.

be in school, government institutions, and particularly in business sectors were
transactions are all done electronically. People can still cope with it, due to
easier and fast transmission of data and information using different applications
in the world of cloud computing.
