Cloud Computing Module 1

Cloud computing is a transformative model that delivers computing resources as a utility, allowing for dynamic provisioning of services, storage, and IT infrastructure over the Internet on a pay-per-use basis. Key characteristics include on-demand self-service, broad network access, resource pooling, rapid elasticity, and measured service. This model enables customers to quickly access and scale resources according to their needs without upfront costs.

Cloud computing module 1

Computing is being transformed into a model consisting of services that are commoditized and
delivered in a manner similar to utilities such as water, electricity, gas, and telephony. In such a
hosted. Cloud computing is the most recent emerging paradigm promising to turn the vision of
“computing utilities” into a reality.
Cloud computing is a technological advancement it is based on the concept of dynamic
provisioning, which is applied not only to services but also to compute capability, storage,
networking, and information technology (IT) infrastructure in general. Resources are made
available through the Internet and offered on a pay-per-use basis from cloud computing
vendors.

Characteristics of cloud computing


1. On-demand self-service: This means that cloud customers can sign up for, pay for and
start using cloud resources very quickly on their own without help from a sales agent.
2. Broad network access: Customers access cloud services via the Internet.
3. Resource pooling: Many different customers (individuals, organizations or different
departments within an organization) all use the same servers, storage or other computing
resources.
4. Rapid elasticity or expansion: Cloud customers can easily scale their use of resources up
or down as their needs change.
5. Measured service: Customers pay for the amount of resources they use in a given period
of time rather than paying for hardware or software upfront. (Note that in a private cloud,
this measured service usually involves some form of charge backs where IT keeps track
of how many resources different departments within an organization are using.)
