Q

Scalability cloud computing

A

Ability to increase the number of items in a system at a linear rate or less than a linear rate. Vertical Scaling(Scaling Up): Increasing the power of the existing resources in the working environment. Horizontal Scaling(Scaling Out): Adding additional resources to help handle the extra load being experienced.

Q

Three Types of Cloud Service Models

A

SaaS, PaaS, IaaS

21
Q

SaaS(Software as a Service)

A

Examples are Office 365, Google Workspace, TurboTax, QuickBooks Online. Hosted application piece of software that’s added on top of the infrastructure.

22
Q

PaaS(Platform as a Service)

A

Examples are Amazon web Services. Provides the OS

Q

IaaS(Infrastructure as a Service)

A

Provides you everything to run servers.

24
Q

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure(VDI)

A

Hosts desktop OS’s within a virtualized environment hosted by a centralized server or server farm.

25
Q

Centralized Model

A

Hosts all the desktop instances on a single server or server farm

26
Q

Hosted Model/Desktop as a Service(DAAS)

A

Maintained by a service provider and provided to the end user as a service.

27
Q

Remote Virtual Desktop Model

A

Copies the desktop image to a local machine prior to being used by the end user.

28
