WHAT IS CLOUD COMPUTING

What is cloud computing – the practice of using network of remote servers hosted on the internet to
store manage and process data, rather than a local server or a personal computer.

History of servers
DEDICATED SERVERS – one physical machine dedicated to single a business runs a single web-app/site
VERY EXPANSIVE, HIGH MAINTENANCE, HIGH SECURITY

VIRTUAL PRIVATE SERVER - One physical machine dedicated to a single business. The physical machine
is virtualized in to sub machine. Runs multiple web-apps/sites

SHARED HOSTING – One Physical Machine – shared by hundreds of businesses, Relies on most tenants
under-utilizing their resources.
VERY CHEAP, VERY LIMITED

CLOUD HOSTING – Multiple physical machines that act as one system.

The system is abstracted in to multiple cloud services
FLEXIBLE, SCALABLE, SECURE, COST-EFFECTIVE, HIGH CONFIGURABILITY

*CLOUD CONCEPTS
Common cloud services
A cloud provider can have hundreds of cloud services that are grouped various types of services.
The four most common types of cloud services for Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
- Compute – Imagine having virtual computer that can run application, programs and code
- Storage – imagine having a virtual hard-drive that can store files
- Networking – imagine having a virtual network being able to define internet connections or
network isolations
- Databases – Imagine a virtual database for storing reporting data or a database for general
purpose web application.

NOTE: cloud computing is also the same as Cloud compute/ cloud storage/ cloud networking/ cloud
database
*CLOUD CONCEPTS
What is Microsoft and Azure
What is azure – Microsoft calls their cloud provider service “Microsoft Azure” commonly reffered to just
Azure
Azure means – bright blue color of the cloudless sky

*CLOUD CONCEPTS
Benefits of Cloud Computing
Cost effective – you pay what you consume, no upfront cost
Global –work anywhere in the world
Secure – Cloud services can by secure by default
Reliable – data backup, recovery
Scalable – Easily increase or decrease your demand
Elastic – Automate
Current – everything are patched updated and ready.
