What are important for us to know?

● Cloud computing fundamentals: the concept, benefits, and virtualisation technologies.

● Cloud computing service models: different types of service models, pros and cons for business
considerations, and examples cloud services from major cloud vendors e.g., AWS, Azure, and GCP

● Cloud deployment models: various types such as public cloud, private cloud, hybrid cloud, multi-
cloud, and the design consideration.

● Cloud data analytics: Data management methods using cloud storage and databases, and Cloud
AI/ML for big data analytics services in Cloud

● Cloud security: key concepts, access controls, network management and data security

Computer Virtualisation

● Virtualization began in the 1960s, as IBM use


virtualization technology to divide mainframe
computers logically to run different applications.

● Virtualization uses software to create an abstraction


layer over computer hardware, to divide a single
computer — processors, memory, storage, network,
etc. — into multiple smaller virtual units.

● Virtualization hides the physical characteristics of


computing resources from their users, supporting
different applications/services on top of them.
Virtualization is the fundamental technology that
powers cloud computing.

Terminologies

● Virtualization: Virtualization is the technology which enables an abstraction


level of resources, including virtual computer hardware platforms, storage
devices, and computer network resources1.

● Hypervisor: A hypervisor is software that creates and runs virtual machines


(VMs). A hypervisor allows one host computer to support multiple guest
VMs by virtually sharing its resources, such as memory and processing2.

● Virtual Machine: A Virtual Machine (VM) is a compute resource that uses


software instead of a physical computer to deploy and run applications.

Benefits of Virtualisation
Encapsulation and Isolation Cost Reduction
VMs are isolated from each other to protect data and It reduces the number of physical servers for
applications not be shared and affected by other VMs. different groups of users and saves costs.

Hardware Utilisation Energy Saving


Resources can be elastic and peak traffic can be VMs are consolidated for deployment and
handled by using a pool of server resources. inactive VMs can be shut down.

Flexibility No Hardware/Software Lock-in


The system can be set up and configured easily and Virtual machines with different OS can be easily
software can be easily tested and deployed in VMs. deployed and configured in data centres.

Replication for Recovery Quick Server Provisioning


VMs can be easily cloned/duplicated and the data and Server templates allow to start new machines
applications can be recovered in case of failures. without repeating the same steps for setting up.

Two Types of Hypervisors : Type 1 and Type 2


Type 1 Hypervisor Type 2 Hypervisor

• Highly efficient because they have direct access to


physical hardware.
• Enables quick and easy access to an alternative guest
OS alongside the primary one running on the host system.
Pros • This also increases their security, because there is This makes it great for end-user productivity.

• Must access computing, memory, and network resources

Cons Cons
• Introduces potential security risks if an attacker
