WHAT IS CLOUD COMPUTING?
Overview
Software as a Service (SaaS)
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
 Uses of a cloud computing
infrastructure to deliver one
application to many users.
 Allows user to make use of storage,
processing power and networks, with
usage based cost.
 It allows activities to be managed
from central locations in a one-tomany model.
 The consumer does not manage or
control the underlying cloud physical
infrastructure.
 Reduces expenses on software and
labor.
 Virtual server, and Cloud Storage.

WHAT IS CLOUD COMPUTING?
Why do People use it?
 From a business standpoint cloud computing is financially
responsible
 Scale up: Gives auto scaling allowing apps to grow according to the
amount of use. If traffic spikes your website won’t crash.
 Scale Down: If your website traffic decreases, you are paying for only
the computing resources needed.
 Provides cheap storage for all your data. Also provides reliable data
back up , so your data is never lost.
 Use of API’s allows for easier integration of code. Allows employees
to focus on more than just replicating and keeping up code.
 Save on software and hardware costs. Even labor costs.

 Popular Users: Khan Academy, Rovio (Angry Birds), Claritics and
SnapChat
 Products
 Compute Engine is their IaaS. Bills you per minute, varies from .07 to 1.30
an hour. Uses Hadoop.
 App Engine is their PaaS, free for a daily quota charge when you
exceed the quota.
 BigQuery, analyzes clouds Big Data for you. First 100 GB each month is
free.
 Data centers use renewable energy, use 50% of energy other data
centers use.
