WHAT IS CLOUD COMPUTING
• Cloud computing is a model for providing on-demand access to
computing resources such as servers, storage, applications, and
services over the internet. It eliminates the need for individuals and
businesses to self-manage physical resources themselves, and only
pay for what they use. The main cloud computing service models
include infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS),
and software as a service (SaaS).
• Cloud computing is characterized by three key features: on-demand,
scalable, and accessible via the internet.
1. On-demand means that computing resources can be provisioned and
released quickly and easily, without the need for lengthy procurement
processes.
2. Scalable means that computing resources can be scaled up or down as
needed, depending on demand.
3. Accessible via the internet means that computing resources can be accessed 5
from anywhere in the world, as long as there is an internet connection.
WHY CHOOSE CLOUD COMPUTING
• Choosing the right cloud deployment model is crucial for
businesses that want to take advantage of cloud computing.
Different deployment models have their own advantages and
disadvantages, and choosing the right one depends on your
organization’s specific needs.

• The impact of cloud deployment models on cost, security, and

scalability can vary depending on the model chosen. For example,
public clouds are generally more cost-effective than private
clouds, but they may not be as secure. Private clouds, on the other
hand, offer greater control over data and security, but they can be
more expensive to set up and maintain. Hybrid clouds offer a
balance between the two, allowing organizations to leverage the
benefits of both models while minimizing their drawbacks. 6
WHY CHOOSE CLOUD COMPUTING
• In terms of scalability, public clouds are generally more
scalable than private clouds, as they can provide
computing resources on-demand. However, private clouds
can be more scalable than public clouds in certain
situations, such as when an organization has a large
amount of data that needs to be stored and processed.
• In summary, selecting the right cloud deployment model is
crucial for businesses that want to take advantage of cloud
computing. The impact of cloud deployment models on
cost, security, and scalability can vary depending on the
model chosen, and organizations should carefully consider
their specific needs before making a decision.
7
PUBLIC CLOUD DEPLOYMENT
• Public cloud deployment is a cloud computing model that provides
computing resources over the internet. It is owned and operated by a
third-party cloud service provider, and the resources are shared
among multiple organizations. Public clouds are ideal for
organizations that require rapid scalability and cost-effectiveness.

• Some examples of public cloud providers include:

1. Amazon Web Services (AWS): A cloud computing platform that offers a

wide range of services, including computing power, storage, and
databases.
2. Microsoft Azure: A cloud computing platform that provides a wide range
of services, including virtual machines, databases, and analytics.
3. Google Cloud: A cloud computing platform that offers a wide range of 8
services, including computing power, storage, and machine learning.
Private cloud deployment
• Private cloud deployment is a cloud computing model that provides
computing resources exclusively to a single organization. It is owned
and operated either by the organization itself or a third-party service
provider. Private clouds are ideal for organizations that require high
levels of security and control over their data.
• Private clouds can be hosted on-premises, meaning that the
organization owns and operates the cloud infrastructure within its own
data center. Alternatively, private clouds can be hosted by a third-party
service provider, which provides the necessary infrastructure and
services.

9
HYBRID CLOUD DEPLOYMENT
• Hybrid cloud deployment is a cloud computing model that combines
elements of both public and private clouds. It allows organizations to
leverage the benefits of both models while minimizing their
drawbacks. Hybrid clouds are ideal for organizations that require
flexibility and scalability while maintaining control over their data.
• A hybrid cloud typically consists of two or more cloud infrastructures,
such as public and private clouds, that are connected by a secure network
connection. Strong integration between the different cloud infrastructures
is crucial for a hybrid cloud deployment to function
correctly. Interconnectivity between environments is typically established
using a local area network (LAN) or a wide area network (WAN).
10
COMMUNITY CLOUD DEPLOYMENT
• Community cloud deployment is a cloud computing model that provides computing
resources to a specific community or group of organizations that share similar concerns
such as security, compliance, and efficiency demands. It is a hybrid form of private cloud
that is multi-tenant, meaning that different organizations can work on a shared
platform. Community clouds can be hosted either on-site or off-site, and can be owned and
operated by one of the tenants or by a third-party cloud services provider.
• Some examples of use cases for community clouds include:
1. Government agencies: Multiple governmental departments that perform
transactions with one another can have their processing systems on shared
infrastructure. This setup makes it cost-effective to the tenants, and can also reduce
their data traffic.
2. Research companies: Research companies can use community clouds to work on
joint projects and applications that belong to the community, where it is necessary to
have a centralized cloud infrastructure.
3. Business organizations: Multiple companies may need a particular system or
application hosted on cloud services. The cloud provider can allow various users to
connect to the same environment and segment their sessions logically. Such a setup
removes the need to have separate servers for each client who has the same
11
intentions.
COMMUNITY CLOUD DEPLOYMENT
• Community clouds provide benefits to organizations in the
community, individually as well as collectively. They offer a cost-
effective solution for organizations that require a dedicated cloud
infrastructure but do not want to invest in expensive hardware and
software. Community clouds also provide a centralized cloud
infrastructure that solves the specific issues of business sectors by
integrating the services provided by different types of cloud solutions.
