Cloud concepts
Lesson 01: Learning objectives
Module 1 – Learning objectives
• Describe and understand cloud services and their benefits
• Understand key terms you will encounter when working
with cloud services
• Understand public, private, and hybrid cloud models
• Understand infrastructure as a service (IaaS)
• Understand platform as a service (PaaS)
• Understand software as a service (SaaS)
Lesson 02: Why cloud services?
Key concepts and terms
Cloud services have certain characteristics and
considerations, such as:
High availability Disaster recovery
Scalability Global reach
Elasticity Customer latency
capabilities
Agility Predictive cost
considerations
Fault tolerance Security
Economies of scale
The concept of economies of scale is the ability to do things
less expensively and more efficiently when operating at a
larger scale in comparison to operating at a smaller scale.
Private cloud:
Control. Organizations have complete control over resources.
Security. Organizations have complete control over security.
Hybrid cloud:
Flexibility. The most flexible scenario. With a hybrid cloud setup, an organization can
determine whether to run their applications in a private cloud or in a public cloud.
Compliance. Organizations maintain the ability to comply with strict security,
compliance, or legal requirements as needed.
Lesson 04: Types of cloud services
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
• Most basic cloud
computing services
category.
• Build pay-as-you-go IT
infrastructure by renting
servers, virtual machines,
storage, networks, and
operating systems from a
cloud provider.
• Instant computing
infrastructure,
provisioned and
managed over the
internet.
Platform as a Service (PaaS)
• Provides
environment for
building, testing,
and deploying
software
applications.
• Helps create
applications quickly,
without focusing on
managing
underlying
infrastructure.
Software as a Service (SaaS)
