Slide 1: Title Slide
Title: Introduction to Cloud Computing
Slide 2: What is Cloud Computing?
Definition: Cloud computing delivers computing services (e.g., servers, storage,
databases, networking, software) over the internet ("the cloud").
Characteristics of Cloud Computing
On-Demand Self-Service: Users can provision resources as needed.
Broad Network Access: Services available over the internet.
Resource Pooling: Shared resources across multiple users.
Scalability: Dynamic scaling of resources.
Measured Service: Pay only for what resources use.

Slide 3: Cloud Computing Architecture
Components:
o Front-end: User interface.
o Back-end: Cloud infrastructure.
Visual: Diagram of cloud architecture.
Slide 5: Service Models
IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service):
o Provides virtualized hardware resources like servers and storage.
o Example: Amazon EC2, Google Compute Engine.
PaaS (Platform as a Service):
o Provides a platform for developers to build applications.
o Example: Google App Engine, Microsoft Azure.
SaaS (Software as a Service):
o Provides software over the internet.
o Example: Gmail, Salesforce.
Visual: Diagram showing IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS layers.
Slide 4: Types of Cloud Computing
Deployment Models:
o Public Cloud: Open for use by the general public.
o Private Cloud: Exclusive to a single organization.
o Hybrid Cloud: Combines private and public cloud advantages.
o Community Cloud: Shared infrastructure for a specific community.
Visual: Diagram comparing deployment models.
Slide 6: Advantages of Cloud Computing
Cost Efficiency: Reduces hardware and maintenance costs.
Scalability: Easily scale resources up or down.
Accessibility or Flexibility: Access resources from anywhere with internet.
Disaster Recovery: Built-in data backup and recovery solutions.
Eco-Friendly: Optimized resource use minimizes environmental impact.
