Cloud Computing shows how we live and work today. Whether we like it or
not, it has become an integral part of our lives. Institutions, companies and
businesses of all shapes, sizes and folks of life are now turning to Cloud
Computing. It underpins a vast number of services that includes consumer
services like Gmail or the cloud back-up of the photos on your smartphone,
though to the services which allow large enterprises to host all their data and run
all of their applications in the cloud. Netflix relies on cloud computing services to
run its video streaming service and its other business systems too, and have a
number of other organizations.
Cloud computing is becoming the default option for many apps: software
vendors are increasingly offering their applications as services over the internet
rather than standalone products as they try to switch to a subscription model. But
nothing is perfect and Cloud Computing is no exception. While it is vastly
beneficial, it also has some risks and concerns that should not be overlooked.
Therefore, in this learning activity sheets, we will discuss the overview,
advantages and disadvantages of Cloud Computing in details.
In this activity, you will learn the concept of cloud computing. Is it a literal
cloud where you can store your data? Well, just sit back and read this brief
discussion about what is cloud computing.
CLOUD COMPUTING BRIEF HISTORY
Oracle introduced the Oracle Cloud in 2012, offering the three basics for
business, IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service), PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service), and
SAAS (Software-as-a-Service).

WHAT IS CLOUD COMPUTING?
- storing of data and applications on remote servers, and accessing them via the
internet rather than saving or installing them on your personal or office
computer.
- offers highly scalable capabilities that are difficult or expensive to deliver locally.
Cloud computing
A fundamental concept behind cloud computing is that the location of the service,
and many of the details such as the hardware or operating system on which it is
running, are largely irrelevant to the user.

Hybrid Cloud computing allows you to use combination of both public and
private cloud. This helps companies to maximize their efficiency and deliver better
performance to clients. In this model companies can use public cloud for transfer of
non-confidential data and switch on to private cloud in case of sensitive data transfer or
hosting of critical applications. This model is gaining prominence in many business as it
gives benefits of both the model.
Advantages of Hybrid Cloud Computing
1. It is scalable
2. It is cost efficient
3. Offers better security
4. Offers greater flexibility
Disadvantages of Hybrid Cloud Computing
1. Infrastructure Dependency
2. Possibility of security breach through public cloud

The Three Service Models of Cloud Computing
SaaS Benefits:
o Affordable – SaaS is affordable as it eliminates the costs involved in the
purchase, installation, maintenance and upgrades of computing hardware.
o Anywhere Accessibility – With SaaS, you can access the services from
anywhere using any device such as smartphones, which eliminates the
constraints set by on premise software.
o Ready to Use – You can quickly set up SaaS services so that they
become functional in no time. All it takes is that you sign up for the service
to get access to fast and powerful computing resources.
2. Platform as a Service or PaaS is essentially a cloud base where you can develop,
test and organize the different applications for your business. Implementing PaaS
simplifies the process of enterprise software development. The virtual runtime
environment provided by PaaS gives a favorable space for developing and testing
applications.
The entire resources offered in the form of servers, storage and networking are
manageable either by the company or a platform provider. Google App Engine and
AWS Elastic Beanstalk are two typical examples of PaaS. PaaS is also subscription
based that gives you flexible pricing options depending on your business requirements.
PaaS Benefits
o Minimal Development Time – PaaS reduces the development time since
the vendor provides all computing resources like server-side components,
which simplifies the process and improve the focus of the development
team.
o Multiple Programming Language Support – PaaS offers support for
multiple programming languages, which a software development company
can utilize to build applications for different projects.
o Enhanced Collaboration – With PaaS, your business can benefit from
having enhanced collaboration, which will help integrate your team
dispersed across various locations.

3. IaaS or Infrastructure as a Service is basically a virtual provision of computing
resources over the cloud. An IaaS cloud provider can give you the entire range of
computing infrastructures such as storage, servers, networking hardware alongside
maintenance and support.
Businesses can opt for computing resources of their requirement without the
need to install hardware on their premises. Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure,
and Google Compute Engine are some of the leading IaaS cloud service providers.
IaaS Benefits
o Minimize Costs – Deploying an IaaS cloud model eliminates the need to
deploy on premise hardware that reduces the costs.
o Enhanced Scalability – As the most flexible cloud computing model, IaaS
allows you to scale the computing resources up or down based on
demand.
o Simple Deployment – IaaS lets you easily deploy the servers, processing,
storage, and networking to make it up and running in no time.

While it may be easy to start using a new cloud application, migrating
existing data or apps to the cloud may be much more complicated and
expensive. And it seems there is now something of a shortage in cloud skills
with staff with DevOps and multi-cloud monitoring and management knowledge
in particularly short supply.
