Introduction to Cloud Computing
Definition: Delivery of computing services over the
internet.
Examples: Servers, storage, databases, networking,
software, analytics.
"Cloud computing is on-demand access to computing resources like
servers, storage, applications – over the internet."
No need to own the infrastructure
History of Cloud Computing
1960s: Time-sharing concept.
1990s: Term "cloud computing"
popularized.
2000s: Launch of major cloud
services by Amazon, Google,
Microsoft.
Key Characteristics of Cloud Computing
On-Demand Self-Service: Automatic resource provisioning.
Broad Network Access: Accessible over the internet i.e. network.
Resource Pooling: Shared resources for multiple consumers.
(Simultaneously)
Rapid Elasticity: Scalable resources (Up Scaling as Down Scaling).
Measured Service: Monitored and controlled usage. (Billing as per use
and size) (

Cloud Computing
Cost Efficiency: Reduced capital and operational costs (No need to own
infrastructure).
Scalability: Vertical and horizontal scaling.
Accessibility: Anywhere access, device independence.
Disaster Recovery: Automated backups, business continuity.
Collaboration: Real-time collaboration, centralized data.
Cost Efficiency
Reduced Capital Expenditure: No physical hardware investment. (Example
of start-ups?)
Operational Cost Savings: Pay-as-you-go model (No need to invest as
CAPEx).
Scalability
Vertical Scaling: Adding power to existing machines. (Dynamic workload
allocation and hence cost savings) Example: increase in seasonal
transaction say Diwali / Christmas)
Horizontal Scaling: Adding more machines. (Self configurable size and
Accessibility
speed)
Anywhere Access: Services accessible from any
location.
Device Independence: Use any device to access
services.
Disaster Recovery
Backup Solutions: Automated backups and recovery.
Business Continuity: Minimal downtime and data loss.
Recovery Time Objective (RTO): How quickly do you need to be back online
after a disaster?
Recovery Point Objective (RPO): How much data loss can you tolerate?
Collaboration
Real-Time Collaboration: Multiple users working
simultaneously.
Centralized Data: Easier management and sharing.
Cloud Deployment Models
Public Cloud: Services over the public internet.
Private Cloud: Infrastructure for a single organization.
Hybrid Cloud: Combination of public and private clouds.
Community Cloud: Shared infrastructure for a specific community
Public Cloud
Definition: Services available to anyone over
the internet.
Advantages: Cost-effective, scalable, easy
setup.
Disadvantages: Less control over security and

Definition: Mix of public and private clouds.
Advantages: Flexibility, cost-efficiency,
scalability.
Disadvantages: Complex management and
integration.
Layered Structure of cloud computing
Real-World Examples and Case Studies
Netflix: Uses AWS for streaming, scalability,
and reliability.
Airbnb: Utilizes Google Cloud for storage and
analytics
Q&A Session
A broad overview of your company’s stance on disaster recovery can be
crucial. Without a clear roadmap of how the team will deal with
emergencies, getting systems back online can take a long time — at
great expense to the company. A visual for your step-by-step disaster
recovery process can get recruits up to speed at a glance without
bogging them down in the details.

potential sources that could threaten your business:
• cyberattacks
• natural disasters
• power outages
• equipment failure
• terrorist attacks
Once you’ve determined where the threats could come from, you’ll want to
develop a game plan for dealing with them should they come to fruition. This
typically focuses on how to get systems back online to streamline the recovery
process and soften the impact on your business.
