Cloud Computing

Cloud Computing

A model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources.

Broad Network Access

The ability to access cloud services from anywhere at any time using various devices such as laptops, smartphones, and tablets.

Rapid Elasticity

The ability of cloud computing resources to be quickly expanded or contracted based on demand.

Measured Service

A service model where cloud systems automatically control and optimize resource usage, providing transparency to consumers.

On-Demand Self-Service

The capability of a cloud service consumer to provision computing resources automatically without requiring interaction with the cloud service provider.

Resource Pooling

The pooling of cloud computing resources to serve multiple customers using a multi-tenant model.

Software as a Service (SaaS)

A software distribution model in which applications are hosted by a service provider and made available to consumers over the Internet.

Platform as a Service (PaaS)

A cloud computing model that provides consumers with a platform and environment for developing, running, and managing applications.

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

A cloud computing service model that provides virtualized computing resources over the Internet.

Public Cloud

A cloud infrastructure that is owned and operated by service providers and made available to the general public.

Private Cloud

A cloud infrastructure operated solely for a single organization, providing greater control over data and security.

Community Cloud

A cloud infrastructure shared by several organizations with similar requirements, allowing for restricted access.

Hybrid Cloud

A cloud computing environment that combines public and private clouds, allowing data and applications to be shared between them.

Cloud Security

Protective measures designed to safeguard cloud data, applications, and services from threats and vulnerabilities.

Availability

The degree to which a system is operational and accessible when required.

Unintentional Data Loss

The accidental loss of data that occurs during processes such as upgrading or decommissioning hardware.

Virtualization

The creation of a virtual version of something, such as storage devices or network resources, allowing for more efficient resource use.

Security Audit

A systematic evaluation of a cloud service provider's security measures to ensure the integrity and protection of consumer data.

Data Encryption

The process of converting data into a coded format to prevent unauthorized access.

Service Model

Different categories of service in cloud computing, including SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS.

Deployment Model

The various styles of cloud infrastructures, such as public, private, community, and hybrid cloud.
