• Healthcare companies are using cloud to develop more
personalized healthcare for patients.

3. Benefits of cloud computing?

Ans: -
• Agility - provides a broad range of resources as much as we
want.
• Elasticity – We can scale up or down resources any time we
want.
• Cost saving – since we don’t actually deploy the machines
physically, it saves a lot of money.
• Time saving
• Deploy globally in seconds.
• Location independence
4. Types of cloud delivery models.
Ans: - There are 3 types of cloud delivery models.
• IaaS – Infrastructure as a Service – it gives highest level of
flexibility and manageability over the resources.

not users.
• Performance and quality of service issues
• Data management issues
• Data migration issues – moving data from one cloud to
another.

11. What is Virtualization?

Ans: - Virtualization is a technology that let us create virtual server,
