AZ-900T01 Microsoft Azure Fundamentals-01

This document provides an overview of cloud concepts and different cloud models. It discusses the key benefits of cloud services like scalability, elasticity, and predictive cost considerations. The three main cloud models covered are public cloud, private cloud, and hybrid cloud. It also defines the major cloud service models of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS), comparing their differences in flexibility, productivity, and pricing. The document concludes with review questions to test the reader's understanding of cloud concepts and models.

Module 01:
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.

 Cloud providers such as Microsoft, Google, and Amazon Web Services


(AWS) are very large businesses, and thus can leverage the benefits of
economies of scale and then pass those benefits on to their customers.
CapEx vs. OpEx
 Capital Expenditure (CapEx) : spend on physical infrastructure up front,
deduct the expense from your tax bill.
 High upfront cost, value of investment reduces over time.

 Operational Expenditure (OpEx) : spend on services or products as


needed, and get billed immediately. Deduct the expense from your tax bill
in the same year.
 No upfront cost, pay-as-you use.
Consumption-based model

Users only pay for the resources they use


Lesson 03: Types of cloud models
Public cloud
 Owned by cloud services
or hosting provider.
 Provides resources and
services to multiple
organizations and users.
 Accessed via secure
network connection
(typically over the
internet).
Private cloud
 Owned and operated by the organization that
uses cloud resources.
 Organizations create a cloud environment in
their data center.
 Self-service access to compute resources
provided to users within the organization.
 Organizations responsible for operating the
services they provide.
Hybrid cloud

Combines Public and Private clouds to allow applications to run in


the most appropriate location.
Cloud model comparison
Public cloud:
 No CapEx. You don’t have to buy a new server to scale up.
 Agility. Applications can be made accessible quickly, and deprovisioned whenever needed.
 Consumption-based model. Organizations pay only for what they use and operate under an OpEx model.

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)

Centrally hosted and managed software for end users. Users connect to and
use cloud-based apps over the internet. For example, Microsoft Office 365,
email, and calendars.
Cloud service comparison
 IaaS: Flexibility. IaaS is the most flexible cloud service as you have
control to configure and manage the hardware running your application.

 PaaS: Productivity. Users can focus on application development only, as


all platform management is handled by the cloud provider. Working with
distributed teams as services is easier, as the platform is accessed over the
internet and can be made globally available more easily.

 SaaS: Pay-as-you-go pricing model. Users pay for the software they use on
a subscription model, typically monthly or yearly, regardless of how much
they use the software.
Management responsibilities

Module 1 review questions

1. What are some of the benefits to using cloud services?

2. Which cloud model provides the greatest degree of flexibility?

3. You need to run two types of applications:

(a) legacy applications requiring specialized hardware


(b) newer applications running on commodity hardware
Which cloud deployment model is best for you?
