It begins by defining cloud computing and highlighting its key features, such as internet-based services, web-based applications, and cloud server storage. The report discusses the roles of s...Read More

Cloud Computing
Software Engineering

Cloud Computing
• Provides services based on internet
• Supports services with the help of web
based application and tool
• All the resources are stored with the cloud
server

Cloud Computing
• Allows the user to access data at anytime
• Cloud offers pay as you go model
• high-capacity networks are available

Cloud Computing
• Low-cost computers with better storage devices are offered with
cloud
• Widespread adoption of hardware virtualization,
• Provides service-oriented architecture

Cloud Computing model

Services provided by cloud
• Service provider: responsible for developing services.
• Service consumer: has the ability to build an application
• Service broker: this helps to know about the services available

Features offered by Cloud
Computing
• Allows better resource pooling and elasticity
• Cost effective solutions are provided by Cloud
• On demand services are provided by cloud computing
• Cloud computing offers self service

Components of cloud computing
• The three components
associated with the cloud
computing includes:
• Client computers
• Distributed servers
• Data centers

Services offered by Cloud
• Software as a Service
(SaaS): this
architecture offers
software as a service
and allows the user to
develop application
with the help of
software.

Services offered by Cloud
• Platform as a Service (PaaS): PaaS allows the users to develop a
software by using patform.
• Infrastructure as a Service ( IaaS): there is no need to buy the
software and can move to perform functions.

Different types of Cloud computing
• Public Cloud: allows the public to access
the service and can pay only for the
services consumed by them.
• Private cloud: the computing services are
provided towards a certain organizations
people. These structure provides high
security.
• Hybrid cloud: this cloud is the
combination of both private and public
cloud. The data are shared among the
clouds within the hybrid cloud.

Benefits of cloud computing
• The main benefits offered by cloud computing includes:
• The amount of cost needed to buy hardware's and software gets
reduced.
• Security features get enhanced
• Easy accessibility at any time
• Offers flexibility
• Scalability

Benefits of cloud computing
• High Speed
• Back-up and restore data
• Manageability
• Sporadic Batch processing Strategic edge
• Offers business continuity plan

Advantages of Cloud computing

Challenges
• It is difficult to provide security in multitenant environment
• Sometimes it becomes difficult to rely completely on cloud server
• Organization needs to work with proper service provider for gaining
effective service
• Legal issues arises when an unauthorized person access the data
uploaded within the cloud

Challenges
• Cloud server are vulnerable towards attacks
• Dependent on quality of internet
• Limited control is provided towards the users
