Cloud Computing Essentials

• Cloud computing involves delivering

computing services—such as servers, storage,
databases, networking, software, and
analytics—over the internet (the cloud) to
offer faster innovation, flexible resources, and
economies of scale.
 **Key Topics:**

• - Cloud service models: Infrastructure as a Service

(IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Software as a
Service (SaaS).
• - Deployment models: Public cloud, private cloud,
hybrid cloud.
• - Virtualization: Hypervisors and containers (e.g.,
Docker).
• - Scalability and elasticity: Handling variable workloads.
• - Security and compliance considerations: Data
protection, regulatory requirements.
 **Practical Example:**
• Setting up a simple web application
deployment using a cloud platform like AWS
or Azure.
