Cloud Computing
What is Cloud Computing?
• A type of computing that relies on sharing computing resources
rather than having local servers or personal devices to handle
application.
• Use of various services, such as software development platforms,
servers, software over the internet.
• Inspired by the cloud symbol that's often used
to represent the internet in flowcharts and
diagrams.
• Instead of storing files on a storage device,
a user can save them on cloud to access the
files from anywhere.
How does Cloud Computing Work?
Front End Back End
• Enables a user to access data stored • Central Server facilitates operations
in the cloud. according to the protocols.

linked via cloud computing.
• Service providers usually maintain
multiple copies of the data.
Based on Deployment
Virtual environment Loosely defined as cloud Mixed computing environment
partitioned and environments solely where applications are run
redistributed to many dedicated to a single end using a combination of
customers(tenants)which user or group, where the computing, storage, and
are usually created from environment usually runs services in different
IT infrastructures. Eg: MS behind that user or environments—public and
Azure, Google, AWS, group's firewall. private clouds
IBM Blue Cloud. Eg: AWS, Vmware. Eg: Federal Agencies.

Allows users to rent virtualized servers and associate services
used to run existing applications, or to design, develop, test,
deploy and host apps. Eg: MS Azure, AWS.
