Fundamentals Module 1 Flashcards
Performance Predictability
Predicting the resources needed to deliver a positive experience for your customers.
Cost Predictability
Predicting or forecasting the cost of the cloud spend.
Can track your resource use in real time, monitor resources to ensure that you’re using them in the most efficient way, and apply data analytics to find patterns and trends that help better plan resource deployments.
Security needs vs cloud models
- maximum control of security => IaaS => provides physical resources but lets manage the operating systems and installed software, including patches and maintenance.
- patches and maintenance taken care of automatically => PaaS / SaaS
Types of manageability for cloud computing
- Management of the cloud: manage your cloud resources
- Management in the cloud: how you’re able to manage your cloud environment and resources
Management of the cloud
managing your cloud resources:
- Automatically scale resource deployment based on need.
- Deploy resources based on a preconfigured template, removing the need for manual configuration
- Monitor the health of resources and automatically replace failing resources.
- Receive automatic alerts based on configured metrics, so you’re aware of performance in real time.
Multi-cloud
Deal with two (or more) public cloud providers and manage resources and security in both environments.
Azure Arc
A set of technologies that helps manage your cloud environment
Azure VMware Solution
allows to run VMware workloads in Azure with seamless integration and scalability.
CapEx
a one-time, up-front expenditure to purchase or secure tangible resources.
OpEx
spending money on services or products over time.
Examples: renting a convention center, leasing a company vehicle, or signing up for cloud services are all examples of OpEx.
Benefits of consumption based model
- No upfront costs.
- No need to purchase and manage costly infrastructure that users might not use to its fullest potential.
- The ability to pay for more resources when they’re needed.
- The ability to stop paying for resources that are no longer needed.
Shared responsibility model: user is always responsible for
- The information and data stored in the cloud
- Devices that are allowed to connect to your cloud (cell phones, computers, and so on)
- The accounts and identities of the people, services, and devices within your organization
Shared responsibility model: cloud provider is always responsible for
- The physical datacenter
- The physical network
- The physical hosts
Cloud computing
the delivery of computing services over the internet
Common IT infrastructure
- virtual machines
- storage, databases
- networking
