Cloud Controls Matrix
Private Cloud
Dedicated cloud infrastructure using private computing resources - builds and runs its own cloud infrastructure (or uses a third party to do so)
Public Cloud
Multitenancy infrastructure that all comers can use, sharing resources
Hybrid Cloud
Uses a combination of public and private cloud computing (data sensitivity)
Public Cloud Responsibility
Shared responsibility model - customer is responsible for some areas i.e. know what data you’re sending, configure access controls for who is accessing
Community Cloud
Not open to general public, but shared amongst organizations in a common field
SaaS
Software as a service- public cloud provider delivers an entire application to the customer (email, storage services)
PaaS
Platform as a service- Vendors provide platform where customers can run their own code without worrying about configuration
IaaS
Infrastructure as a service- Purchase basic computing services i.e. servers/storage (AWS, Azure, Google compute engine)
IoT
Internet of things - devices connected to the internet (i.e. fridge, treadmill)
Edge Computing
Computing on the endpoint (processing power directly on remote sensors to only transport a small amount)
