Cloud computing
Six Advantages of Cloud Computing?
- Trade capital expense for variable expense
- Benefit from massive economies of scale
- Stop guessing capacity
- Increase speed and agility
- Stop spending money running and maintaining data centers
- Go global in minutes
Types of Cloud Computing Models?
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
Platform as a Service (PaaS)
Software as a Service (SaaS)
Cloud Computing Models that contains the basic building blocks for cloud IT and typically provides access to networking features, computers (virtual or on dedicated hardware), and data storage space.
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
Cloud Computing Models that removes the need for your organization to manage the underlying infrastructure (usually hardware and operating systems) and allows you to focus on the deployment and management of your applications.
Platform as a Service (PaaS)
Cloud Computing Models that provides you with a completed product that is run and managed by the service provider.
Software as a Service (SaaS)
Types of Cloud Computing Deployment Models?
Cloud
Hybrid
On-premises
Types of Cloud Computing Deployment Models that is fully deployed in the cloud and all parts of the application run in the cloud.
Cloud
Types of Cloud Computing Deployment Models that is way to connect infrastructure and applications between cloud-based resources and existing resources that are not located in the cloud.
Hybrid
Types of Cloud Computing Deployment Models that is using virtualization and resource management tools, is sometimes called the “private cloud.”

Describe AWS Region
- AWS has Regions all around the world
- Names can be us-east-1, eu-west-3…
- A region is a cluster of data centers
- Most AWS services are region-scoped
Benefits of AWS Security?
- Keep Your Data Safe
- Meet Compliance Requirements
- Save Money
- Scale Quickly
What are the Five Characteristics of Cloud Computing?
- On-demand self service
- Broad network access
- Multi-tenancy and resource pooling
- Rapid elasticity and scalability
- Measured service
Problems solved by the Cloud
- Flexibility
- Cost-Effectiveness
- Scalability
- Elasticity
- High-availability and fault-tolerance
- Agility
Pricing of the Cloud
- Compute
- Storage
- Data transfer OUT of the Cloud
How to choose an AWS Region?
- Compliance with data governance and legal requirements
- Proximity to customers
- Available services within a Region
- Pricing
Describe AWS Availability Zones
- Each region has many availability zones (usually 3, min is 2, max is 6).
- Each availability zone (AZ) is one or more discrete data centers with redundant power, networking, and connectivity
- They’re separate from each other, so that they’re isolated from disasters
- They’re connected with high bandwidth, ultra-low latency networking
Describe Points of Presence / Edge Locations
Content is delivered to end users with lower latency
