Cloud computing is a technology that allows users to access computing resources such as servers, storage, databases, networking, software, and analytics over the internet instead of using local computers or on-premise infrastructure.
- Introduction to Cloud Computing Cloud Computing is the delivery of computing services over the internet (“the cloud”) to offer faster innovation, flexible resources, and economies of scale. These services include servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and more.
Six phases of computing paradigms, from dummy terminals / mainframes, to PCs, network computing, grid and cloud computing. Phase 1: Dummy terminals are used to connect to powerful hosts shared by many users. At that time, the terminals were basically keyboards and monitors.
The reference model for cloud computing is an abstract model that characterizes and standardizes a cloud computing environment by partitioning it into abstraction layers and cross-layer functions.
All cloud services share five fundamental characteristics that define them: On-Demand Self-Service: Users can provision computing resources like servers and storage automatically, without requiring human intervention from the service provider.
In this tutorial, you will learn basic concepts of cloud computing, types of cloud computing, advantages and disadvantages of cloud computing, the architecture of cloud computing, and its case studies.
Cloud Computing Fundamentals: Definition of Cloud computing, Roots of Cloud Computing, Layers and Types of Clouds, Desired Features of a Cloud, Cloud Infrastructure Management, Infrastructure as a Service Providers, Platform as a Service Providers.
