XaaS - Anything as a Service*
Hosting an OS on a virtual machine and providing desktop interfaces for users
DaaS: Desktop as a Service*
Replication of servers to the cloud and Act as a failover solution. one of the first adaptation
DRaaS: Disaster Recovery as a Service*
Running software off-premises (ex: Gmail, Dropbox, office365
SaaS: Software as a Service*
What are the Top three (3) Types of Cloud Computing Models
- IaaS - Infrastructure as a Service
- SaaS - Software as a Service
- PaaS - Platform as a Service
Maintaining a server on a cloud-based VM and provides virtual resources
IaaS: Infrastructure as a Service*
Creation of platforms for applications
Excellent solution for developers
Eliminates platform maintenance
ex: Redhat open shift application
PaaS: Platform as a Service*
Who is responsible for the use and the data of the cloud?
