 Benefits of cloud computing

Cost savings

The cloud allows you to trade capital expenses (such as data centers and physical servers) for
variable expenses, and only pay for IT as you consume it.

Deploy globally in minutes

With the cloud, you can expand to new geographic regions and deploy globally in minutes.
For example, AWS has infrastructure all over the world, so you can deploy your application
in multiple physical locations with just a few clicks. Putting applications in closer proximity to
end users reduces latency and improves their experience.

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
 Types of cloud computing

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

IaaS contains the basic building blocks for cloud IT. It

typically provides access to networking features,
computers (virtual or on dedicated hardware), and data
storage space.

IaaS gives you the highest level of flexibility and

management control over your IT resources. It is most
similar to the existing IT resources with which many IT
departments and developers are familiar.
Platform as a Service (PaaS)
 Types of cloud computing

Platform as a Service (PaaS)

PaaS removes the need for you to manage underlying

infrastructure (usually hardware and operating systems),
and allows you to focus on the deployment and
management of your applications.

This helps you be more efficient as you don’t need to

worry about resource procurement, capacity planning,
software maintenance, patching, or any of the other
undifferentiated heavy lifting involved in running your
application.
Software as a Service (SaaS)
 Types of cloud computing

Software as a Service (SaaS)

SaaS provides you with a complete product that is run and

managed by the service provider.

In most cases, people referring to SaaS are referring to

end-user applications (such as web-based email).

With a SaaS offering, you don’t have to think about how

the service is maintained or how the underlying
infrastructure is managed. You only need to think about how
you will use that particular software.
Services types Overview
 Benefits of cloud computing

Agility

The cloud gives you easy access to a broad range of technologies.

You can quickly spin up resources as you need them–from infrastructure services, such as:
compute, storage, and databases, to Internet of Things, machine learning, data lakes and analytics,
and much more.

This gives you the freedom to experiment, test new ideas to differentiate customer experiences,
and transform your business.

Elasticity

With cloud computing, you don’t have to over-provision resources up front to handle peak levels of
business activity in the future. Instead, you provision the amount of resources that you actually
need. You can scale these resources up or down to instantly to grow and shrink capacity as your
business needs change.
 Who is using cloud computing?

Organizations of every type, size, and industry are using the cloud for a wide variety of use
cases, such as data backup, disaster recovery, email, virtual desktops, software development
and testing, big data analytics, and customer-facing web applications.

For example, healthcare companies are using the cloud to develop more personalized
treatments for patients.

Financial services companies are using the cloud to power real-time fraud detection and
prevention. And video game makers are using the cloud to deliver online games to millions of
players around the world.
