Cloud Computing & Service Types

Cloud Models and the 3 levels of service.

Cloud Computing

Renting computer resources over the internet instead of owning and managing them yourself

Public Cloud Model

Runs on Microsoft hardware, everyone shares infrastructure, and anyone can purchase these resources from the service provider.

Private Cloud Model

Dedicated to a single organization and it moves hands-on management from the customer to the service provider. This model offers more control, security, and customization options.

Hybrid Cloud Model

Provides the most flexibility for control of resources and you determine where to run your applications

Multicloud Model

Multiple cloud providers are in use at the same time

Vertical Scaling of resources (i.e. a VM)

Adjusting the amount of a resource, like CPU or RAM, within a VM

Horizontal Scaling of resources (i.e. a VM)

Adding or subtracting the number of that resource, like adding more instances of the VM.

Reliability - Microsoft Framework Pillar

Ability to recover from failures and continue to function

Predictability - Microsoft Framework Pillar

Cost and performance should be predictable

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

You rent the hardware! And can do with it whatever you want. Everything from data to operating systems management is on the customer

Platform as a Service (Paas)

Provides a framework that developers can build upon to customize cloud-based applications.

Software as a Service (SaaS)

Renting or using a fully developed application (i.e. Outlook, Word, Excel)
