> How did Cloud Computing come into existence?

> What are the different types of Cloud Service Models?

> Important concepts related to Cloud.

> Different Cloud Providers

> Benefits of Cloud Computing over traditional methods.

Things to learn  : 

> Cloud Computing, its key concepts, and benefits.

> To decide when to use Cloud Computing.

> Which models and services you should employ.


What is cloud computing?

> Cloud computing is an on demand delivery of compute, storage, database, networking, and many more services over the internet.

> On demand delivery means you get it when you need it.

> It comes with pay as you go pricing.

What are the different cloud computing services?
1 Compute :
>  Compute is the processing power of your machine.


2 Storage : 
>  Storage enables you to save data within a data storage service.
>  You can store data such as videos, music, documents, pictures, etc.
>  Data saved on a storage device will remain permanently until you delete it.
>  To store data either temporarily or permanently on the cloud , you user cloud storage.
      


3  Database : 
>  When you arrange your data or information in  certain rows and columns, it is called structured data.
>  To store a huge amount of structured data, you need a special type of storage called databases.
>  MySQL, Oracle , and SQL Server.
>  To store structured data in the cloud, you use a database.



4  Networking : It is a service that provides connectivity among different services.



 Why do we need Cloud Deployment Models?
>  Different organizations have different requirements, they want different levels of control on their cloud infrastructure.
>  Each cloud deployment model offers a different level of management, security, and cost.



Note : Attributes of cloud deployment model

> Where is Cloud infrastructures  located?
> Who controls it?
> Who can access and use it?



 Three types of Cloud Deployment Models : 
A) Public Cloud :
 > A public cloud is a cloud computing infrastructure maintained and operated by a cloud service provider.
> Anyone can use the public cloud.
> The cloud service providers are responsible for maintaining the physical infrastructure.
Example : Google Cloud,  AWS, Microsoft

B) Private Cloud
> A private cloud is a cloud computing infrastructure that is specifically provisioned for a company. 
> Cloud services are available to an organization and its users only.
> The physical infrastructure can be maintained either by the organization itself or by the third party who is providing the cloud services.
> When a cloud computing infrastructure is available for a certain organization and to their internal people only, this is called Private Cloud.
> Private cloud are more expensive than public clouds.
> Private clouds are used by organizations that want to run their mission-critical applications due to security reasons.


C) Hybrid Cloud : 
> Hybrid means the combination of two or more.
> A hybrid cloud is a cloud computing infrastructures that benefits from both Public and Private models and enables organizations to use both.
> Hybrid cloud combines a public cloud and a private cloud to allow data and applications to be shared between them.



 What is Data Center ?
 > A data center is a physical space where organizations keep computer systems and related hardware that are required for their websites, apps, or IT infrastructure.
> We can add more systems and hardware based on the growth.



** Cost :
> Setting up a data center needs a huge upfront investment in building, 
hardware, cooling, power, ventilation equipment, etc.
> Data center maintenance cost.




** Capacity Planning : 
> Data centers should always be ready to meet the demand.
> Most of the time we end up over-provisioning the servers, which leads to a waste of our resources.


** Staffing and technical skill sets : 
>To monitor the data centers and troubleshoot them during any issue, we need skilled staff which further leads to additional costs.
