Cloud Computing

Exploring its Role in Modern


Operating Systems
Introduction

This presentation delves into the significance of cloud computing


in operating systems, outlining its definition, key characteristics,
and applications.
01

Overview
Definition of Cloud Computing

Cloud computing refers to the delivery of various computing


services over the internet, including servers, storage, databases,
networking, software, and analytics. It allows users to access and
process data remotely rather than relying on local servers or
personal computers. This paradigm shift enables more flexible
resources and faster innovation.
Importance in Modern Operating Systems

Cloud computing has transformed the way


operating systems function by providing
scalable resources, facilitating
collaboration, and reducing IT costs. It
fosters the development of cloud-native
applications and microservices,
encourages automation and orchestration,
and continuously enables updates and
maintenance without downtime, ensuring
high availability and resilience.
Key Characteristics

Cloud computing is defined by several key characteristics: on-demand


self-service, broad network access, resource pooling, rapid elasticity,
and measured service. On-demand self-service allows users to
automatically provision resources as needed without human
intervention. Broad network access ensures that services are available
over the network and accessed through standard mechanisms.
Resource pooling enables multiple customers to share the same
physical resources while maintaining privacy. Rapid elasticity allows
services to scale quickly in response to demand. Finally, measured
service provides transparent resource usage, enabling efficient
management.
02

Types of Services
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

IaaS provides virtualized computing


resources over the internet. Users can rent
IT infrastructure on a pay-as-you-go basis,
including servers, storage, and networking.
This allows businesses to avoid the cost
and complexity of owning and managing
physical servers. IaaS offers flexibility and
scalability, allowing organizations to adjust
resources according to demand, making it
ideal for fluctuating workloads.
Platform as a Service (PaaS)

PaaS provides a platform allowing customers to develop, run, and


manage applications without the complexity of building and
maintaining the infrastructure typically associated with
developing and launching apps. It offers a set of tools and
services designed to facilitate application development and
deployment, including database management, middleware, and
application hosting. PaaS enhances productivity and simplifies
the development process for software engineers.
Software as a Service (SaaS)

SaaS delivers software applications over the internet, on a


subscription basis. Users can access software applications from
any device with an internet connection, which reduces the need
for installations and maintenance. SaaS is often updated
automatically, ensuring users have the latest features and
security enhancements. It is widely used for various applications,
including email, CRM, and collaboration tools.
Conclusions

Cloud computing represents a significant


advancement in how operating systems
manage and utilize resources. With its
diverse service models like IaaS, PaaS, and
SaaS, organizations can achieve greater
efficiency, scalability, and flexibility. The
integration of cloud computing into
operating systems is essential for modern
enterprises seeking to innovate and
remain competitive.
