Basics of Cloud Technologies

What is Cloud?
Different types of Cloud services
• Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) - virtual machines, storage, and
networks
• Platform as a Service (PaaS) - cloud databases, middleware,
development tools. EDM competitor: iPaaS (dell Boomi, Salesforce
Mulesoft, AWS Glue, Azure Data Factory)
• Software as a Service (SaaS) – Office 365, iLevel
• Function as a Service (FaaS) - Serverless computing, usually event
triggered. E.g. on putting a file on S3, a mail to be sent, etc.
History of Cloud Computing

Special Mention:
1970~
ASP(application service provider)
The application software resides on the vendor's system and is accessed by users through a communication protocol.
Building blocks of Cloud
• Virtualization (VM) => Containerization (Docker and Kubernetes)
• High-Speed network
• Security over internet (VPN, https, encryption)
• Web advancement (static web-> interactive web -> richer
contents(Web version office), C/S architecture -> B/S architecture(no
installation, cross-platform, Teams/Outlook (WebView 2.0)
Major services in AWS & Azure

Lambda Functions FaaS
Glue Data Factory iPaaS / SaaS

CloudWatch Monitor Management
Public Cloud vs Private Cloud
=> Private cloud is not cloud.

=> Private cloud = traditional data center + virtualization

Cloud Native
• Use of Containerization technology & Microservices Architecture
• B/S architecture
