 Architecture of Aws Cloud Services
Cloud Architecture is the blueprint for designing, building, and managing cloud-based solutions. It outlines
how various cloud components, such as hardware, virtual resources, software capabilities, and virtual network
systems, interact to create a cloud environment.
Key components of cloud architecture:
Front-End Platform:
 User Interface (UI): The front-end is what users interact with, typically through a web browser or
mobile application. It includes the graphical user interface (GUI) that allows users to access and
manage cloud services.
 Client Devices: These are the devices, such as computers, smartphones, or tablets, that connect to the
cloud services via the internet.
Back-End Platform:
 Servers: These are the physical or virtual machines that host the cloud services, handling the
processing power required to run applications and manage data.
 Storage Systems: Cloud storage includes databases, object storage, and block storage that store data
for cloud applications and services. Examples include Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, and Azure
Blob Storage.
