Course Outline

Cloud Attributes

On-demand self-service, multi-tenancy and resource pooling, rapid elasticity and scalability, and measured services are the widely known cloud attributes in cloud computing.

Managed Services & Deployment Models

Public, private, community, and hybrid are the four managed cloud services, and Platform-as-a-Service, Software-as-a-Service, and Infrastructure-as-a-Service are the three known deployment models in cloud computing.

Pricing & Scaling Model

Pay-as-Use, Subscription-based, Hybrid pricing models are the three scaling models, but every cloud computing provider classifies the pricing models differently. Scaling adds or removes compute, storage, and network services to accomplish workload demands for resources to maintain availability and performance as utilization increases.

It Was a Great Experience of Learning with Great Learning

It is quite interesting and empowering to learn about cloud computing. To me, this sounds like being taken into another dimension in the field of technology, where one actually changes how they handle their data and applications. The flexibility and scalability inherent in the services of the cloud inspire limitless possibilities. Knowing how this would work for businesses by scaling their resources on demand and paying for just what they use is immensely practical and exciting.
