Cloud Computing

Introduction
  • Cloud computing is internet-based computing whereby shared resources, software and information are provided to computers and other devices on-demand, like the electricity grid.
     
  • Cloud computing is a culmination of numerous attempts at large-scale computing with seamless access to virtually limitless resources.

    • On-demand computing, utility computing, ubiquitous computing, autonomic computing, platform computing, edge computing, elastic computing and grid computing.
       
  • A number of characteristics define cloud data, applications services and infrastructure:

    • Remotely hosted: Services or data are hosted on a remote infrastructure.
    • Ubiquitous: Services or data are available from anywhere.
    • Commodified: The result is a utility computing model similar to traditional of traditional utilities, like gas and electricity; you pay for what you need!
       
  • Cloud Computing = Software as a Service + Platform as a Service + Infrastructure as a Service.
