Abstract
“Cloud” is a collective term for a large number of developments and possibilities. It is not an
invention, but more of a “practical innovation”, combining several earlier inventions into
something new and compelling. Much like the iPod is comprised of several existing concepts
and technologies (the Walkman, MP3 compression and a portable hard disk), cloud
computing merges several already available technologies: high bandwidth networks,
virtualization, Web 2.0 interactivity, time sharing, and browser interfaces. Cloud Computing
is a popular phrase that is shorthand for applications that were developed to be rich Internet
applications that run on the Internet (or “Cloud”). Cloud computing enables tasks to be
assigned to a combination of software and services over a network. This network of servers is
the cloud. Cloud computing can help businesses transform their existing server infrastructures
into dynamic environments, expanding and reducing server capacity depending on their
requirements. A cloud computing platform dynamically provisions, configures, reconfigures,
and deprovisions servers as needed. Servers in the cloud can be physical machines or virtual
machines. Advanced clouds typically include other computing resources such as storage area
networks (SANs), network equipment, firewall and other security devices.

Introduction to Cloud Computing

Cloud Computing is the delivery of computing services such as servers, storage, databases,
networking, software, analytics, intelligence, and more, over the Cloud (Internet).

Cloud Computing provides an alternative to the on-premises datacentre. With an on-premises

datacentre, we have to manage everything, such as purchasing and installing hardware,
virtualization, installing the operating system, and any other required applications, setting up
the network, configuring the firewall, and setting up storage for data. After doing all the set-
up, we become responsible for maintaining it through its entire lifecycle.

But if we choose Cloud Computing, a cloud vendor is responsible for the hardware purchase
and maintenance. They also provide a wide variety of software and platform as a service. We
can take any required services on rent. The cloud computing services will be charged based
on usage.

The cloud environment provides an easily accessible online portal that makes handy for the
user to manage the compute, storage, network, and application resources. Some cloud service
providers are in the following figure.

CLOUD COMPUTING ARCHITECTURE

As we know, cloud computing technology is used by both small and large organizations
to store the information in cloud and access it from anywhere at anytime using the internet
connection.

Cloud computing architecture is a combination of service-oriented architecture and event-

driven architecture.

Cloud computing architecture is divided into the following two parts -

o Front End

o Back End

The below diagram shows the architecture of cloud computing -

Front End

The front end is used by the client. It contains client-side interfaces and applications that are
required to access the cloud computing platforms. The front end includes web servers
(including Chrome, Firefox, internet explorer, etc.), thin & fat clients, tablets, and mobile
devices.

Back End
The back end is used by the service provider. It manages all the resources that are required to
provide cloud computing services. It includes a huge amount of data storage, security
mechanism, virtual machines, deploying models, servers, traffic control mechanisms, etc. .

Components of Cloud Computing Architecture

There are the following components of cloud computing architecture -

1. Client Infrastructure

Client Infrastructure is a Front end component. It provides GUI (Graphical User Interface) to
interact with the cloud.

2. Application

The application may be any software or platform that a client wants to access.

3. Service

A Cloud Services manages that which type of service you access according to the client’s
requirement.

Cloud computing offers the following three type of services:

i. Software as a Service (SaaS) – It is also known as cloud application services.

Mostly, SaaS applications run directly through the web browser means we do not require to
download and install these applications. Some important example of SaaS is given below –

Example: Google Apps, Salesforce Dropbox, Slack, Hubspot, Cisco WebEx.

ii. Platform as a Service (PaaS) – It is also known as cloud platform services. It is

quite similar to SaaS, but the difference is that PaaS provides a platform for software
creation, but using SaaS, we can access software over the internet without the need of any
platform.

Example: Windows Azure, Force.com, Magento Commerce Cloud, OpenShift.

iii. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) – It is also known as cloud infrastructure

services. It is responsible for managing applications data, middleware, and runtime
environments.

Example: Amazon Web Services (AWS) EC2, Google Compute Engine (GCE), Cisco
Metapod.

4. Runtime Cloud

Runtime Cloud provides the execution and runtime environment to the virtual machines.

CSE FY 2023-24 SEM II

5. Storage

Storage is one of the most important components of cloud computing. It provides a huge
amount of storage capacity in the cloud to store and manage data.

6. Infrastructure

It provides services on the host level, application level, and network level. Cloud
infrastructure includes hardware and software components such as servers, storage, network
devices, virtualization software, and other storage resources that are needed to support the
cloud computing model.

7. Management

Management is used to manage components such as application, service, runtime cloud,

storage, infrastructure, and other security issues in the backend and establish coordination
between them.

8. Security

Security is an in-built back end component of cloud computing. It implements a security

mechanism in the back end.

9. Internet

The Internet is medium through which front end and back end can interact and communicate
with each other.

Benefits of Cloud Computing

There’s lots to be gained from cloud computing. In an increasingly remote world, one of the
cloud’s big draws is that it allows for business operations to continue regardless of location.
A report from Grand View Research highlighted the transition to remote work models as a
significant driver of growth in the U.S. cloud computing market, which is projected to see a
compound annual growth rate of 15.7 percent from 2022 to 2030.

Cloud storage also comes with a number of other benefits. Business leaders have reported the
top benefits of cloud computing to be increased efficiency, faster deployment, collaboration
tools, security and remote accessibility, according to Statista.

How Does Cloud Computing Work?

The cloud is basically a decentralized place to share information through satellite networks.
Every cloud application has a host, and the hosting company is responsible for maintaining
the massive data centers that provide the security, storage capacity and computing power
needed to maintain all of the information users send to the cloud.

HOW CLOUD COMPUTING WORKS

Cloud computing works by having companies host or maintain massive data centers that
provide the security, storage capacity and computing power to support cloud infrastructure.
Clients pay for the rights to use their clouds along with an ecosystem to communicate
between devices and programs.
These hosting companies can sell the rights to use their clouds and store data on their
networks, while also offering the end user an ecosystem that can communicate between
devices and programs (for example, download a song on your laptop and it’s instantly synced
to the music app on your iPhone).

Types of Cloud Computing Delivery Models

Public Cloud
This is the most common and all of the players in cloud computing (Amazon, Microsoft,
Apple and Google) run public clouds accessible anywhere with login credentials and the right
web app.

Private Cloud
This model offers the same kind of flexibility as the public cloud, but with the infrastructure
needs (hosting, data storage, IT staff, etc.) provided by the companies or users of the service.
Additionally, the restricted access and hands-on management of hosting gives the private
model an extra layer of security.

Hybrid Cloud
Hybrid cloud computing is a combination of the public and private models. The two cloud
types are linked over the internet and can share resources when needed (for example, if the
private cloud reaches storage capacity or becomes corrupted, the public cloud can step in and
save the day

Conclusion

Cloud computing will affect large part of computer industry including Software companies,
Internet service providers. Cloud computing makes it very easy for companies to provide
their products to end-user without worrying about hardware configurations and other
requirements of servers. The cloud computing and virtualization are distinguished by the fact
that all of the control plane activities that center around creation, management, and
maintenance of the virtual environment, are outsourced to an automated layer that is called as
an API and other management servers for the cloud management.

In simple words, the virtualization is a part of cloud computing where manual management is
done for interacting with a hypervisor. On the other hand, in cloud computing, the activities
are self-managing where an API (Application Program Interface) is used so that the users can
self-consume the cloud service.
