Describe Cloud Concepts Flashcards
Define cloud computing.
It’s the delivery of computing services over the internet, which is otherwise known as the cloud. These services include servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and intelligence.
Name 3 Cloud computing advantages over traditional on premise
offers faster innovation, flexible resources, and economies of scale.
Why is cloud computing typically cheaper to use?
Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services over the internet by using a pay-as-you-go pricing model. You typically pay only for the cloud services you use, which helps you:
· Lower your operating costs.
· Run your infrastructure more efficiently.
· Scale as your business needs change.
To put it another way, cloud computing is a way to rent compute power and storage from someone else’s datacenter.
Why should I move to the cloud?
The cloud helps you move faster and innovate in ways that were once nearly impossible.
In our ever-changing digital world, two trends emerge:
· Teams deliver new features to their users at record speeds.
· Users expect an increasingly rich and immersive experience with their devices and with software.
cloud provides on-demand access to:
- A nearly limitless pool of raw compute, storage, and networking components.
- Speech recognition and other cognitive services that help make your application stand out from the crowd.
- Analytics services that deliver telemetry data from your software and devices.
What are the 8 cloud benefits?
- High availability
- Scalability
- Global reach
- Agility
- Fault tolerance
- Elasticity
- Customer latency capabilities
- Predictive cost considerations
Describe the cloud consumption based model
Cloud service provider operate on a consumption-based model, which means that end users pay for the resources that they sued. Whatever they use is what they pay for. You should expect:
- Better cost prediction
- Prices for individual resources and services are provided
- Billing is based on actual usage
What is the Azure portal?
The Azure portal is a web-based, unified console that provides an alternative to command-line tools. With the Azure portal, you can manage your Azure subscription by using a graphical user interface. You can:
· Build, manage, and monitor everything from simple web apps to complex cloud deployments.
· Create custom dashboards for an organized view of resources.
· Configure accessibility options for an optimal experience.
