1. Which are the different layers that define cloud architecture?

= The different layers that define cloud architecture are Infrastructure as a

Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS),
and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO).

2. What are the advantages of Cloud Computing?

= Trade capital expense (CAPEX) for operational expense (OPEX)
= Benefit from massive economies of scale
= Stop guessing capacity
= Increase speed and agility
= Stop spending money running and maintaining data centers
= Go global in minutes

3. Describe the different cloud service models? 

= Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) includes its customers' applications, data,
runtime, middleware, operating systems, and its Amazon web services
include virtualization, servers, storage, and networking. On-premises is where
customers are everything. Applications and data are two of the customers of
Platform as a Service (PaaS), and its Amazon web services include runtime,
middleware, operating systems, virtualization, servers, storage, and
networking. Software as a Service (SaaS): Amazon Web Services is
everything.

4. What do you mean by software as a service?

= Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) is a software licensing model that provides
subscription-based access to software via external servers. 
This allows each user to access programs via the Internet, instead of having
to install the software on their computer. It has many business applications,
including file sharing, email, calendars, customer retention management, and
human resources. It is easy to implement, easy to update and debug, and can
be less expensive since users pay for SaaS as they go instead of purchasing
multiple software licenses for multiple computers.

5. What are the different models for deployment in cloud computing?

= Public Cloud, Private Cloud and Hybrid Cloud
