Cloud Deployment and

Service Delivery Models
Cloud Computing

Different Types of Cloud Computing Deployment models

Cloud computing deployment models refer to the different ways in which cloud computing resources and
services are provisioned, managed, and made available to users. There are four main cloud computing
deployment models –

Private Community
Cloud Cloud

Public Hybrid
Cloud Cloud
Cloud Computing

Private Cloud
• The cloud services are offered on a private infrastructure
• Most of the times private cloud is for internal developers
• Not a widespread model
• Misses most if not all the benefits of the cloud.
• Like on-premise data center.
Cloud Computing

Community Cloud
• Specific community of consumers band together to build a cloud
• Like a private club cloud.
• More commonly talked about a decade ago. Not a go to concept as of today.
Cloud Computing

Public Cloud
• The common model that we all know.
• Virtually all cloud computing today is deployed according to this model.
• Accessible through the public Internet.
Cloud Computing

Hybrid Cloud
• The hybrid cloud combines and unifies public cloud, private and on-premises infrastructure to create a
single, flexible and cost optimal IT infrastructure.

• With hybrid cloud business objective can be achieved more effectively and efficiently than public or
private cloud.
Cloud Computing

Cloud Service Delivery Models

Cloud service delivery models refer to the different types of cloud services that cloud providers offer to
users. These models define the level of control, management, and responsibility that the cloud provider
assumes versus what the user or customer takes on.

Infrastructure Platform as a Software as

as a Service Service a Service
Cloud Computing

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

• The most basic form
• Basic computing resources are provided
• The consumer installs and manages the needed software.
• High Control but high engagement.
Cloud Computing

Platform as a Service (PaaS)

• Can be used to develop applications by the consumer
• Possible to write code and configure the service
• Cloud Vendor manages the underlying infrastructure
Cloud Computing

Software as a Service (PaaS)

• Everything is managed by the cloud vendor
• You only configure and use it through a web browser.
• Common examples are Google’s services like Docs, Calendar, and Sheets or Microsoft’s Office 365.

Azure Virtual Machines Checklist

Before creating Azure VMs, compile a checklist for creating an Azure Virtual Machine.
1. Start with the network
2. Name the VM
3. Decide the location for the VM
4. Determine the size of the VM
5. Understanding the pricing model
6. Storage for the VM
7. Select an operating system
Cloud Computing

Step1. Start with the network

• Virtual networks (VNets) are used in Azure to provide private connectivity between Azure Virtual
Machines and other Azure services. VMs and services that are part of the same virtual network can
access one another.
• By default, services outside the virtual network cannot connect to services within the virtual network. You
can, however, configure the network to allow access to the external service, including your on-premises
servers.
• Spend some time thinking about your network configuration.
• When you set up a virtual network, you specify the available address spaces, subnets, and security.
• After deciding the virtual network address space(s), you can create one or more subnets for your virtual
network.
Cloud Computing

Step1. Start with the network

Plan each VM Deployment
Once you have mapped out your communication and network requirements, you can start thinking about
the VMs you want to create.
A good plan is to select a server and take an inventory:
• What does the server communicate with?
• Which ports are open?
• Which OS is used?
• How much disk space is in use?
• What kind of data does this use? Are there restrictions (legal or otherwise) with not having it on-
premises?
• What sort of CPU, memory, and disk I/O load does the server have? Is there burst traffic to account for?e
Cloud Computing

Step2. Name the VM

• The VM name is used as the computer name, which is configured as part of the operating system.
• You can specify a name of up to 15 characters on a Windows VM and 64 characters on a Linux VM.
• This name also defines a manageable Azure resource.
Cloud Computing

What is an Azure resource?

• An Azure resource is a manageable item in Azure. Just like a physical computer in your datacenter, VMs
have several elements that are needed to do their job:
• The VM itself
• Storage account for the disks
• Virtual network (shared with other VMs and services)
• Network interface to communicate on the network
• Network Security Group(s) to secure the network traffic
• Public Internet address (optional)

Azure will create all these resources if necessary, or you can supply existing ones as part of the
deployment process. Each resource needs a name that will be used to identify it. If Azure creates the
resource, it will use the VM name to generate a resource name
Cloud Computing

Step3. Decide the location for the VM

• Azure has datacenters all over the world filled with servers and disks.
• When you create and deploy a virtual machine, you must select a region where you want the resources
(CPU, storage, etc.) to be allocated.
Cloud Computing

Step4. Determine the size of the VM

• Once you have the name and location set, you
need to decide on the size of your VM.
• Azure provides a wide range of VM size options
allowing you to select the appropriate mix of
compute, memory, and storage for what you want
to do.
• The best way to determine the appropriate VM size
is to consider the type of workload your VM needs
to run.
• Based on the workload, you're able to choose from
a subset of available VM sizes.
Cloud Computing

Determine the size of the VM

Option Description

General purpose General-purpose VMs are designed to have a balanced CPU-to-memory ratio. Ideal for testing and
development, small to medium databases, and low to medium traffic web servers.

Compute optimized Compute optimized VMs are designed to have a high CPU-to-memory ratio. Suitable for medium traffic
web servers, network appliances, batch processes, and application servers.

Memory optimized Memory optimized VMs are designed to have a high memory-to-CPU ratio. Great for relational database
servers, medium to large caches, and in-memory analytics.

Storage optimized Storage optimized VMs are designed to have high disk throughput and IO. Ideal for VMs running
databases.
GPU GPU VMs are specialized virtual machines targeted for heavy graphics rendering and video editing.
These VMs are ideal options for model training and inferencing with deep learning.

High performance computes High performance compute is the fastest and most powerful CPU virtual machines with optional high-
throughput network interfaces.
Cloud Computing

Step5. Determine the size of the VM

• Azure allows you to change the VM size when the existing size no longer meets your needs. You can
upgrade or downgrade the VM - if your current hardware configuration is allowed in the new size. This
provides a fully agile and elastic approach to VM management.
• The VM size can be changed while the VM is running, if the new size is available in the current
hardware cluster the VM is running on. The Azure portal makes this obvious by only showing you
available size choices.
Cloud Computing

Step6. Understanding the pricing model

There are two separate costs the subscription will be charged for every VM: compute and storage.
Compute costs - Compute expenses are priced on a per-hour basis but billed on a per-minute basis.
Storage costs - You are charged separately for the storage the VM uses. The status of the VM has no
relation to the storage charges that will be incurred; even if the VM is stopped/deallocated and you aren’t
billed for the running VM, you will be charged for the storage used by the disks.
Cloud Computing

Step7. Storage for VM

• Best practice is that all Azure virtual machines will have at least two virtual hard disks (VHDs). The first
disk stores the operating system, and the second is used as temporary storage.
• You can add additional disks to store application data; the maximum number is determined by the VM
size selection (typically two per CPU). It's common to create one or more data disks, particularly since
the OS disk tends to be quite small. Also, separating out the data to different VHDs allows you to
manage the security, reliability, and performance of the disk independently.
• The data for each VHD is held in Azure Storage as page blobs, which allows Azure to allocate space
only for the storage you use. It's also how your storage cost is measured; you pay for the storage you
are consuming.
Cloud Computing

Step8. Storage for VM : What is Azure Storage?

• Azure Storage is Microsoft's cloud-based data storage solution. It supports almost any type of data and
provides security, redundancy, and scalable access to the stored data. A storage account provides
access to objects in Azure Storage for a specific subscription. VMs always have one or more storage
accounts to hold each attached virtual disk.
• Virtual disks can be backed by either Standard or Premium Storage accounts.
Cloud Computing

[Link] an operating system

• Azure provides a variety of OS images that you can install into the VM, including several versions of
Windows and flavors of Linux.
• The choice of OS will influence your hourly compute pricing as Azure bundles the cost of the OS
license into the price.
• If you are looking for more than just base OS images, you can search the Azure Marketplace for more
sophisticated install images that include the OS and popular software tools installed for specific
scenarios.
Cloud Computing

Step10. Generating the SSH public key

• One can use a public-private key pair to secure
SSH access to your cloud server. A public key is
placed on the server, and the private key is placed
on your local workstation.​
• This makes it impossible for someone to log in
using just a password, as long as you set up SSH
to deny password-based authentication.​
Cloud Computing

Step11. Generating the SSH public key

• Steps to Create VM are as follows:
• Create free Azure Account.
• Sign into the Azure Portal.
• Search for Virtual Machine in the search bar
• Select Create and then Select Virtual Machine.
• Under Project Details, Select Subscription and Select or create the new resource group.
• Under Instance details, type myVM for the Virtual machine name, choose East US for your Region, and
choose Ubuntu 18.04 LTS for your Image. Leave the other defaults.
Cloud Computing

Step12. Generating the SSH public key

• Under Administrator account, select SSH public key.
• In Username type azure user.
• For SSH public key source, leave the default of Generate new key pair, and then type myKey for
the Key pair name.
Cloud Computing

Step13: Set inbound port rules

• Under Inbound port rules > Public inbound ports, choose Allow selected ports and then select SSH
(22) and HTTP (80) from the drop-down.
• Leave the remaining defaults and then select the Review + create button at the bottom of the page.
Cloud Computing

Step14: Create an Azure VM with the Azure portal

• Leave the remaining defaults and then select the
Review + create button at the bottom of the page.
• On the Create a virtual machine page, you can see
the details about the VM you are about to create.
When you are ready, select Create.
• When the Generate new key pair window opens,
select Download private key and create resource.
Your key file will be download as [Link]. Make
sure you know where the .pem file was downloaded,
you will need the path to it in the next step.
• When the deployment is finished, select Go to
resource.
• On the page for your new VM, select the public IP
address, as shown in image next slide and copy it to
your clipboard.
Cloud Computing

Connect to Virtual Machines

Create an SSH connection with the VM.
• If you are on a Mac or Linux machine, open a Bash prompt. If you are on a Windows machine, open a
PowerShell prompt.
• At your prompt, open an SSH connection to your virtual machine. Replace the IP address with the one
from your VM, and replace the path to the .pem with the path to where the key file was downloaded.
Console
ssh -i .\Downloads\[Link] azureuser@[Link]
Tip
• The SSH key you created can be used the next time you create a VM in Azure. Just select the Use a key
stored in Azure for SSH public key source the next time you create a VM. You already have the private
key on your computer, so you won't need to download anything
Cloud Computing

Step15: Work with the VM with the Azure portal

Install web server in VM
sudo apt-get -y update
sudo apt-get -y install nginx
When done, type exit to leave the SSH session.
View the web server in action
Use a web browser of your choice to view the default NGINX welcome page. Type the public IP address of
the VM as the web address. The public IP address can be found on the VM overview page or as part of the
SSH connection string you used earlier.
Clean up resources
When no longer needed, you can delete the resource group, virtual machine, and all related resources. To
do so, select the resource group for the virtual machine, select Delete, then confirm the name of the
resource group to delete.
