Session 1 Flashcards
What is cloud computing?
Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services over the internet (the cloud), including servers, storage, databases, networking, software, and analytics.
Name the three main cloud service models.
- Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
- Platform as a Service (PaaS)
- Software as a Service (SaaS)
What is IaaS?
IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) provides virtualized computing resources over the internet, such as virtual machines, storage, and networks.
What is PaaS?
PaaS (Platform as a Service) provides a platform for application development, including infrastructure, but without the need to manage the underlying infrastructure.
What is SaaS?
SaaS (Software as a Service) delivers software applications over the internet, with the provider managing the underlying infrastructure and software.
What are the benefits of cloud computing?
Benefits include: high availability, scalability, elasticity, cost-efficiency, disaster recovery, and reduced management overhead.
What is the shared responsibility model in cloud computing?
In the shared responsibility model, the cloud provider manages the infrastructure, while the customer manages the data, identity, and application security.
What is scalability in cloud computing?
Scalability allows resources to increase or decrease according to demand.
What is elasticity in cloud computing?
Elasticity automatically adds or removes resources to accommodate changing workloads.
What is a hybrid cloud?
A hybrid cloud combines public and private clouds to allow data and applications to be shared between them.
Define cloud computing.
Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services over the internet, including storage, databases, servers, networking, software, and analytics.
What are the three main types of cloud computing models?
Public, Private, and Hybrid cloud models.
What are the main cloud service models?
IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service), and SaaS (Software as a Service).
What is Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)?
IaaS provides virtualized computing resources over the internet, such as virtual machines, networks, and storage.
What is Platform as a Service (PaaS)?
PaaS provides a platform that allows customers to develop, run, and manage applications without dealing with infrastructure.
