What Is Cloud Computing?

Cloud computing is a transforming way of business operations by offering scalable and flexible computing resources over the Internet. It facilitates organizations to access data, applications, and services from anywhere, at any time, resulting in increased efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Cloud computing makes free from the need for on-premises infrastructure and lets to empowers businesses to focus on innovation and growth rather than managing IT hardware....

What are the different types of Cloud Computing?

Cloud Computing includes the cloud types such as Infrastructure as a Service ( IaaS ), Platform as a Service ( PaaS ), and Software as a Service ( SaaS ). In this IaaS provides virtualized computing resources, PaaS provides development and deployment platforms and SaaS provides software applications over the internet. These services are complemented by various deployment models such as public, private, hybrid and multicloud diverse business needs and preferences....

Types Of Cloud Computing Models

In general, Cloud Computing Models are widely classified into 4 types. They are as follows:...

Difference Between IaaS, PaaS, SaaS And Serverless

The following are the differences between IaaS, PaaS, SaaS and Serverless:...

Cloud Computing Deployment Models

They are different approaches in managing and setting up the cloud services including cloud computing deployment models such as Public, private, hybrid, community and mulit-cloud deployments. These deployments provides scalability, control and flexibility with fulfilling special benefits meeting to various goals and demands of a business. In the below section we are discussing the types of cloud deployment models in more detail....

What are the types of Cloud Services?

The following are the types of cloud also known as cloud deployment models as follows:...

1. Public Cloud

Public clouds are managed by third parties which provide cloud services over the internet to the public, these services are available as pay-as-you-go billing models.  They offer solutions for minimizing IT infrastructure costs and become a good option for handling peak loads on the local infrastructure. Public clouds are the go-to option for small enterprises, which can start their businesses without large upfront investments by completely relying on public infrastructure for their IT needs.  The fundamental characteristics of public clouds are multitenancy. A public cloud is meant to serve multiple users, not a single customer. A user requires a virtual computing environment that is separated, and most likely isolated, from other users....

2. Private cloud

Private clouds are distributed systems that work on private infrastructure and provide the users with dynamic provisioning of computing resources. Instead of a pay-as-you-go model in private clouds, there could be other schemes that manage the usage of the cloud and proportionally billing of the different departments or sections of an enterprise. Private cloud providers are HP Data Centers, Ubuntu, Elastic-Private cloud, Microsoft, etc....

3. Hybrid cloud

A hybrid cloud is a heterogeneous distributed system formed by combining facilities of the public cloud and private cloud. For this reason, they are also called heterogeneous clouds.  A major drawback of private deployments is the inability to scale on-demand and efficiently address peak loads. Here public clouds are needed. Hence, a hybrid cloud takes advantage of both public and private clouds.  Examples: AWS Outposts, Azure Stack, Google Anthos, IBM Cloud Satellite, Oracle Cloud at Customer...

4. Community Cloud

Community clouds are distributed systems created by integrating the services of different clouds to address the specific needs of an industry, a community, or a business sector. But sharing responsibilities among the organizations is difficult. In the community cloud, the infrastructure is shared between organizations that have shared concerns or tasks. An organization or a third party may manage the cloud.  Examples: CloudSigma, Nextcloud, Synology C2, OwnCloud, Stratoscale...

5. Multicloud

Multicloud is the use of multiple cloud computing services from different providers, which allows organizations to use the best-suited services for their specific needs and avoid vendor lock-in. This allows organizations to take advantage of the different features and capabilities offered by different cloud providers. Examples: Cloud Foundry, Kubernetes, Apache Mesos, Red Hat OpenShift, Docker Swarm...

The following are the differences between public, private and Hybrid Clouds:...
