 What is cloud computing?
 Cloud computing means that instead of all the computer hardware
and software you're using sitting on your desktop, or somewhere
inside your company's network, it's provided for you as a
service by another company and accessed over the Internet,
usually in a completely seamless way. Exactly where the
Cloud hardware and software is located and how it all works doesn't
matter to you, the user—it's just somewhere up in the nebulous
Computing "cloud" that the Internet represents.
 You are probably using cloud computing right now, even if

you don’t realise it. If you use an online service to send
email, edit documents, watch movies or TV, listen to music,
play games or store pictures and other files, it is likely that
cloud computing is making it all possible behind the scenes.
 Public clouds are the most common way of deploying cloud computing. The
cloud resources (like servers and storage) are owned and operated by a third-
party cloud service provider and delivered over the Internet. Microsoft Azure
is an example of a public cloud. With a public cloud, all hardware, software
and other supporting infrastructure is owned and managed by the cloud
provider. In a public cloud, you share the same hardware, storage and
network devices with other organizations or cloud “tenants.” You access
services and manage your account using a web browser. Public cloud
deployments are frequently used to provide web-based email, online office
Public Cloud applications, storage and testing and development environments.
 Advantages of public clouds:

 Lower costs—no need to purchase hardware or software and you pay only
for the service you use.
 No maintenance—your service provider provides the maintenance.
 Near-unlimited scalability—on-demand resources are available to meet your
business needs.
 High reliability—a vast network of servers ensures against failure.
 A private cloud consists of computing resources used exclusively by one
business or organization. The private cloud can be physically located at
your organization's on-site datacenter or it can be hosted by a third-party
service provider. But in a private cloud, the services and infrastructure
are always maintained on a private network and the hardware and
software are dedicated solely to your organization. In this way, a private
cloud can make it easier for an organization to customize its resources to
meet specific IT requirements. Private clouds are often used by
government agencies, financial institutions, any other mid- to large-size
organizations with business-critical operations seeking enhanced control
over their environment.
Private Cloud  Advantages of a private clouds:

 More flexibility—your organization can customize its cloud environment
to meet specific business needs.
 Improved security—resources are not shared with others, so higher

levels of control and security are possible.
 High scalability—private clouds still afford the scalability and efficiency

of a public cloud.
 Often called “the best of both worlds,” hybrid clouds combine on-
premises infrastructure, or private clouds, with public clouds so
organizations can reap the advantages of both. In a hybrid cloud, data
and applications can move between private and public clouds for
greater flexibility and more deployment options. For instance, you can
use the public cloud for high-volume, lower-security needs such as
web-based email and the private cloud (or other on-premises
infrastructure) for sensitive, business-critical operations like financial
reporting. In a hybrid cloud, “cloud bursting” is also an option. This is
when an application or resource runs in the private cloud until there is
a spike in demand (such as seasonal event like online shopping or tax
filing), at which point the organization can “burst through” to the
public cloud to tap into additional computing resources.
Hybrid Cloud Advantages of hybrid clouds:

 Control—your organization can maintain a private
infrastructure for sensitive assets.
 Flexibility—you can take advantage of additional resources in
the public cloud when you need them.
 Cost-effectiveness—with the ability to scale to the public
cloud, you pay for extra computing power only when needed.
 Ease—transitioning to the cloud does not have to be
overwhelming because you can migrate gradually—phasing in
workloads over time.
 IaaS provides the infrastructure such as virtual machines and other
IaaS resources like virtual-machine disk image library, block and file-
based storage, firewalls, load balancers, IP addresses, virtual local

Heroku, Force.com, Google App Engine, Apache Stratos.
 In a SaaS, you are provided access to application services installed at
a server. You don’t have to worry about installation, maintenance or
coding of that software. You can access and operate the software with
just your browser. You don’t have to download or install any kind of
setup or OS, the software is just available for you to access and
