Q

Consumption-based models

A

There is no upfront cost and no need to purchase and manage costly infrastructure that may or may not be used to its fullest. You pay for additional resources when needed and stop paying for resources when no longer needed

Q

Private cloud

A

Cloud owned and operated by the organisation that uses the resources. The organisation creates a cloud environment in their own datacenter and pride self-service access to computer resources. The owner is responsible for purchase, maintenance and management of hardware and requires deep technical knowledge

Q

Shared responsibility model

A

Cloud providers offer considerable advantages for security and compliance efforts, but these do not absolve the customer from protecting their users, apps and service offerings. IaaS requires the most user management and SaaS requires the least

Cloud computing

A

The delivery of computing services - servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, intelligence an more - over the internet (the cloud), enabling faster innovation, flexible resources and economies of scale

48
Q

Virtual machine

A

Software emulation of a physical computer. Includes an operating system and hardware that appears like a physical computer. You can install the software you need

49
Q

Software emulation of a physical computer. Includes an operating system and hardware that appears like a physical computer

A

Virtual machine

50
Q

Container

A

Provides a consistent, isolated environment for applications. Doesn’t require a guest operating system. The application and its dependencies are packaged into it and then a standard runtime environment is used to execute the app. Multiple can be run on a single machine and they can be moved between machines

A

Container

52
Q

Serverless computing

A

Lets you run application code without creating, configuring or managing a server. Your app is broken into several functions that run when triggered by some action. Ideal for automated tasks. You only pay for the processing time used as each function executes
