Introduction to Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is the on-demand delivery of IT resources over the internet with pay-as-you-go pricing.

Key Concepts:

  • On-demand self-service: Provision resources instantly.
  • Broad network access: Access services via the internet.
  • Resource pooling: Providers serve multiple customers using a multi-tenant model.
  • Rapid elasticity: Scale up or down quickly.
  • Measured service: Pay only for what you use.

Cloud Deployment Models:

  1. Public Cloud: Owned and operated by third-party providers (like AWS).
  2. Private Cloud: Used exclusively by one organization.
  3. Hybrid Cloud: Combines public and private clouds.
