PRACTICAL NO. 1
 Aim: Study of Any Cloud Service provider and its service provider.

 Theory:
Cloud Computing:

The group of sophisticated cloud services that are provided by the commercial
providers at inception and users have to pay per use after the negotiation
between provider and consumer on the service level agreements is called Cloud
Computing.

There are various cloud service providers available in the market as follows:

1. Amazon Web Services

2. Microsoft Azure

3. Google App Engine

This report is going to explain you about the Azure Cloud in detail.

Microsoft Azure:

Microsoft Azure, often referred to as Azure is a cloud computing service

operated by Microsoft for application management via Microsoft-managed data
centres.

It provides software as a service (SaaS), platform as a service

(PaaS) and infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and supports many
different programming languages, tools, and frameworks, including both
Microsoft-specific and third-party software and systems.

1 Azure Architecture Diagram

An azure architecture diagram visualizes the deployment and hosting of any

application on azure cloud services. Azure architecture is the most popular
cloud service used by most of the 500 fortune companies. Organizations use
azure architectures because it is cost-effective, quick, and flexible. An azure
diagram provides a better understanding of your cloud infrastructure by
depicting your organization's network topologies and databases. With azure

Page1|6
2106004 PAYAL ANARASE

diagrams, you can quickly document any cloud architecture and illustrate any
changes or updates you want to make.

Azure diagrams depict the cloud computing services of an enterprise. Creating a

cloud architecture is hard because the infrastructure of an organization's cloud
services is complex. Making a diagram to illustrate the azure architecture of
your organization is best because it makes it easier for you to understand the
cloud environment, check areas for updates, discover problems and create
solutions. Making these diagrams is essential if you plan to use azure
architecture services.

3. Benefits of Azure Architecture:

An azure architecture diagram helps any organization's technical and non-

technical stakeholders better understand the infrastructure that supports their
everyday work.

It provides virtual hard drives so that you can increase your database or add
more virtual machines using limitless cloud storage. You can also use it to
develop virtual machines and add them to your organization's IT infrastructure.

Azure architecture is essential if you want to add existing apps to your IT

infrastructure. It also helps with troubleshooting problems.

4. Azure Architecture Diagram Use Cases

App Development and Hosting: The azure architecture diagram helps you
virtually create infrastructures for application development. It provides a
platform where users can develop applications with various programming
languages and multiple technologies. You can focus more on improving
security and get more time to market your application.

Building solutions: Azure architecture is a cloud platform that organizations

build solutions for various services. It provides infrastructure as a service that
gives you compute, storage, and networking resources. You can use it to
manage modules with PaaS or host and license your software on the Azure
platform.

Business Intelligence: You can use these diagrams when you want to maximize
the business value of data using azure architecture solutions. Azure diagrams
illustrate business intelligence as you can use them to measure the activities by
your applications using various matrices. It provides the solution for unified
data governance.

5. Services provided by Azure:

a. IaaS that is Infrastructure as A Service:

Cloud infrastructure services, known as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), are
made of highly scalable and automated compute resources. IaaS is fully self-
service for accessing and monitoring computers, networking, storage, and other

Page3|6
2106004 PAYAL ANARASE

services. IaaS allows businesses to purchase resources on-demand and as-

needed instead of having to buy hardware outright.

1. Storage:

Storage in GB / month $0.045 per GB $0.075 per GB

2 Standard-series (Gen 5)
Standard-series (Gen 5) logical CPUs are based on Intel E5-2673 v4
(Broadwell) 2.3 GHz, Intel SP8160 (Skylake), Intel Xeon Platinum 8272CL 2.5
GHz (Cascade Lake) and Intel(R) Xeon Scalable 2.8 GHz processor (Ice Lake)
processors. In the standard-series (Gen 5), 1 vCore = 1 hyper thread. The
standard-series (Gen 5) logical CPU is great for most relational database
servers.

3 Locally Redundant Storage

In the general purpose tier, you are charged for Premium blob storage that you
provision. Storage can be configured between 5 GB and 4 TB with 1 GB
increments.

b. PaaS that is Platform as A Service:

Cloud platform services, also known as Platform as a Service (PaaS), provide
cloud components to certain software while being used mainly for applications.
PaaS delivers a framework for developers that they can build upon and use to
create customized applications. All servers, storage, and networking can be

managed by the enterprise or a third-party provider while the developers can

maintain management of the applications.
1. Virtual Machines

2. SaaS that is Software as a Service:

Software as a Service, also known as cloud application services, represents the
most commonly utilized option for businesses in the cloud market. SaaS utilizes
the internet to deliver applications, which are managed by a third-party vendor,
to its users. A majority of SaaS applications run directly through your web
browser, which means they do not require any downloads or installations on the
client side.
