Introduction
➢ On-Demand Anywhere Computing: Cloud computing delivers
computing power, storage, and applications over the Internet, enabling
access anytime, anywhere without physical infrastructure.
➢ Flexible & Scalable Resources: Resources can scale automatically
based on demand, reducing costs and improving efficiency for
businesses and individuals.
➢ Service Model Spectrum: Cloud services are structured into IaaS
(Infrastructure), PaaS (Platform), and SaaS (Software), offering
increasing levels of abstraction and ease of use.
➢ Innovation Without Complexity: Users can focus on development,
data, or business operations while the cloud handles maintenance,
security, and resource management.
Cloud Computing Overview
➢ Definition: Cloud computing is the
delivery of computing services like
servers, storage, databases, networking,
software, internet
➢ Key Idea: Instead of using local
computers or servers, users can access
resources and applications online.
➢ Main Features:
▪ On-demand access to resources
▪ Scalable and flexible services
▪ Pay-as-you-use model
➢ Purpose: Makes computing faster,
easier, and more cost-effective for
individuals and organizations.
Service Models
[Link] as a service (IAAS)
➢ Provides virtual servers, storage, and networking over the internet.
➢ No need to buy or manage physical hardware.
➢ Scalable and flexible resources can be increased or decreased.
➢ Pay-as-you-use cost-effective for businesses.
➢ Common use: hosting websites, databases, and applications.
EXAMPLES :
[Link] as a service(PAAS)
➢ Provides a platform to build, test, and deploy applications.
➢ Includes tools, frameworks, and development environments.
➢ Helps developers focus on coding, not servers.
➢ Developers can build apps quickly using ready-made tools.
➢ Collaboration Multiple developers can work on the same app.
EXAMPLES :
[Link] as a service(SAAS)
➢ Provides software applications over the internet.
➢ Users can access apps from any device without installation.
➢ Paid subscription-based model is common.
➢ Automatic Software updates happen automatically.
➢ Accessible Anywhere Can use on laptops, tablets with internet.
EXAMPLES :
Advantages Disadvantages
➢ Low Cost: No need to buy ➢ Security Risk – Data may not be
hardware. fully safe.
➢ Easy Access: Use from ➢ Needs Internet – Cannot work
anywhere. without internet.
➢ Flexible: Increase or decrease ➢ Less Control – User cannot
usage anytime. fully control data.
➢ Backup: Data is saved safely. ➢ Downtime – Sometimes services
➢ Automatic Updates: Software may stop.
and services are updated ➢ Subscription Cost – Long-term
automatically. use may cost money.
Applications
➢ Data Storage and Management:
Cloud computing provides efficient and scalable data storage solutions,
allowing users to store, manage, and retrieve data from anywhere.
➢ Software Development and Deployment:
Cloud platforms support application development by offering tools and
environments for coding, testing, and deployment.
➢ Online Services and Applications:
Cloud computing enables the delivery of software applications over the
internet. Users can access services like email, office tools.
➢ Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity:
Cloud services help organizations maintain backup systems and recover
data quickly during system failures or disasters.
Conclusion
➢ In conclusion, cloud computing has become an essential technology
that simplifies how data and applications are managed.
➢ The different service models Infrastructure as a Service, Platform as a
Service, and Software as a Service provide solutions for storage.
➢ Overall, cloud computing improves productivity, ensures data safety,
and supports continuous access to services.
➢ Its growing importance shows that it will continue to play a major
role in the future of technology and digital transformation.
