Module-1: Introduction to Cloud Computing

What is Cloud

 The term Cloud refers to a Network or Internet.

 In other words, we can say that Cloud is something, which is
present at remote location.
 Cloud can provide services over network, i.e., on public
networks or on private networks, i.e., WAN, LAN or VPN.
 Applications such as e-mail, web conferencing, customer
relationship management (CRM), all run in cloud.
  Virtualization is the process of running a virtual instance
of a computer system in a layer abstracted from the actual
hardware.
 Most commonly, it refers to running multiple operating
systems on a computer system simultaneously.

Hypervisor
What is
Virtualization  A hypervisor is a program for creating and running virtual
machines.
 Hypervisors have traditionally been split into two classes:
type one, or "bare metal" hypervisors that run guest
virtual machines directly on a system's hardware,
essentially behaving as an operating system.
 Type two, or "hosted" hypervisors behave more like
traditional applications that can be started and stopped
like a normal program.
What is Cloud Computing

 Cloud Computing refers to manipulating,

configuring, and accessing the applications online.
 It offers online data storage, infrastructure and
application.
 Cloud Computing is both a combination of
software and hardware-based computing resources
delivered as a network service.
Basic Concepts

There are certain services and models working behind the scene making the cloud computing feasible and accessible to end
users. Following are the working models for cloud computing:

1. Deployment Models

Deployment models define the type of access to the cloud, i.e., how the cloud is located? Cloud can have any of the four
types of access: Public, Private, Hybrid and Community.

2. Service Models

Service Models are the reference models on which the Cloud Computing is based. These can be categorized into three basic
service models (IaaS, PaaS and SaaS):
 PUBLIC CLOUD: The Public Cloud allows systems and services to
be easily accessible to the general public. Public cloud may be less
secure because of its openness, e.g., e-mail.

PRIVATE CLOUD: The Private Cloud allows systems and services to

Types of Cloud or be accessible within an organization. It offers increased security
because of its private nature.

Deployments HYBRID CLOUD: The Hybrid Cloud is mixture of public and private
Models cloud. However, the critical activities are performed using private
cloud while the non-critical activities are performed using public
cloud.

COMMUNITY CLOUD: The Community Cloud allows systems and

services to be accessible by group of organizations.
 Infrastructure as a Service

IaaS is the delivery of technology infrastructure as an on demand scalable

service. IaaS provides access to fundamental resources such as physical
machines, virtual machines, virtual storage, etc.

Service PaaS provides the runtime environment for applications, development &
deployment tools, etc. PaaS provides all of the facilities required to support
the complete life cycle of building and delivering web applications and

Models services entirely from the Internet.

Software as a Service

SaaS model allows using software applications as a service to end users.

SaaS is a software delivery methodology that provides licensed multi-tenant
access to software and its functions Remotely as a Web-based service.

 What is AWS

 In 2006, Amazon Web Services (AWS) began offering IT infrastructure services to businesses as web services—now commonly known as cloud
computing.
 One of the key benefits of cloud computing is the opportunity to replace upfront capital infrastructure expenses with low variable costs that scale with
your business.
 With the cloud, businesses no longer need to plan for and procure servers and other IT infrastructure weeks or months in advance.
 Instead, they can instantly spin up hundreds or thousands of servers in minutes and deliver results faster.
 Today, AWS provides a highly reliable, scalable, low-cost infrastructure platform in the cloud that powers hundreds of thousands of businesses in 190
countries around the world.

Prerequisites:
 AWS fundamentals.
 Microsoft and Linux operating system essentials.
 Networking Essentials. IP Address, subnets, Load Balancer and routers etc.
 Working knowledge of virtualization.
 Storage fundamentals.
 AWS Global Infrastructure

Amazon web services (AWS) is a global public cloud provider, and as such, it must have global network of infrastructure to
run and manage its many growing cloud services that support customers around the world. In this post, we will look at the
components that make up the AWS global Infrastructure.
The number of regions is increasing year after year as AWS works to keep up with the demand for cloud computing
services.
To Understand AWS Global Infrastructure, you need to understand following concepts and components:

1. Regions: 32.
2. Availability Zone (AZs): 102.
3. Edge Locations: 450+.
4. Regional Edge Locations: 13.
