What is the Client ?
Web Browser or Desktop App that a person interacts to make a request to the server
What is a Server ?
The system that response to the client’s request such as the service of Amazona EC2
What is Amazon EC2 ?
Amazon Elastic compute Cloud is a web service that provides secure, resizable compute
capacity in the cloud. It is designed to make web-scale computing easier for developers.
Name the 3 types of Cloud Deployment Models ?
Cloud Based Deployment, On-Premise Deployment and Hybrid Developments
What is Cloud based deployment ?
A cloud-based application is fully deployed in the cloud and all parts of the application run in the cloud.
Applications in the cloud have either been created in the cloud or have been migrated from an existing
infrastructure to take advantage of the benefits of cloud computing.
What is On-Premise based deployment ?
The deployment of resources on-premises, using virtualization and resource management tools, is
sometimes called the “private cloud.” On-premises deployment doesn’t provide many of the benefits of
cloud computing but is sometimes sought for its ability to provide dedicated resources
What is Hybrid Deployment ?
A hybrid deployment is a way to connect infrastructure and applications between cloud-based
resources and existing resources that are not located in the cloud.
The most common method of hybrid
deployment is between the cloud and existing on-premises infrastructure to extend, and grow, an
organization’s infrastructure into the cloud while connecting cloud resources to the internal system.
What is cloud computing ?
Cloud computing is the on-demand delivery of compute power, database, storage, applications, and
other IT resources through a cloud services platform via the Internet with pay-as-you-go pricing.
Whether you are running applications that share photos to millions of mobile users or you’re supporting
the critical operations of your business, a cloud services platform provides rapid access to flexible and
low-cost IT resources.
With cloud computing, you don’t need to make large upfront investments in
hardware and spend a lot of time on the heavy lifting of managing that hardware.
Instead, you can provision exactly the right type and size of computing resources you need to power your newest bright idea or operate your IT department.
You can access as many resources as you need, almost instantly, and only pay for what you use.
Cloud computing provides a simple way to access servers, storage, databases and a broad set of application services over the Internet.
A cloud services platform such as Amazon Web Services owns and maintains the network-connected hardware required for these application services, while you provision and use what you need via a web application.
What are the 6 Six Benefits/Advantages of Cloud Computing ?
- Trade Upfront expense for a variable expense
- Stop spending Money to run and maintain data centers
- Stop guess capacity
- Benefits from Massive economics of scale
- Increase speed and agility
- Go Global in Minutes
