Microsoft Training - Mod 1 Flashcards
What is cloud computing
It is the delivery of computing services over the internet.
Computing services include common IT infrastructure such as virtual machines, storage, databases, and networking
Compute Power
How much processing power you need. In cloud you can add or remove as needed.
Storage
Volume of data you can store on your computer. In cloud, you can request more storage as you need it.
Describe the shared responsibility model
Physical security, power, cooling, and network connectivity are the responsibility of the cloud provider.
The consumer is responsible for the data and information stored in the cloud and access security, meaning you only give access to those who need it.
IaaS
Infrastructure as a Service
SaaS
Software as a Service
PaaS
Platform as a Service
What’s included with IaaS?
Places the MOST responsibility on the CONSUMER, with the cloud provider being responsible for the basics of physical security, power, and connectivity.
What’s included with SaaS?
Places MOST of the responsibility with the cloud PROVIDER
PaaS
Being a middle ground between IaaS and SaaS, rests somewhere in the middle and evenly distributes responsibility between the cloud provider and the consumer.
You’ll always be 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
The cloud provider is always responsible for
- The physical datacenter
- The physical network
- The physical hosts
Your service model will determine responsibility for things like?
- Operating systems
- Network controls
- Applications
- Identity and infrastructure
Private cloud
Cloud (delivering IT services over the internet) that’s used by a single entity
Private cloud details
Much greater control for the company and it’s IT department.
Much greater cost and fewer benefits of a public cloud deployment.
Could be hosted from an on site datacenter, dedicated datacenter offsite or a third party dedicated their datacenter to your company.
Public cloud
Built, controlled, and maintained by a third-party cloud provider.
Anyone that wants to purchase cloud services can access and use resources. The general public availability is a key difference between public and private clouds.
Hybrid cloud
Computing environment that uses both public and private clouds in an inter-connected environment
- users can flexibly choose which services to keep in public cloud and which to deploy to their private cloud infrastructure.
