Cloud History
A 1950s Super Computer
Advent of broadband, virtualisation and increases in
3
computing power have made much more possible.
Cloud Types
Community cloud is shared
by several organizations
with shared concerns (e.g.
policy, security
requirements, compliance
considerations)
Private cloud is owned or
leased by a single
organization and operated
solely for that organization
Public cloud is owned by
an organization selling
cloud services to the
general public or to a large
industry group
Hybrid cloud is a
combination of 2 or more
clouds that remain unique
entities but are bound
together by standardized
technology that enables data
and application portability
Service Types
 Software as a Service (SaaS)
 Platform as a Service (PaaS)
 Infrastructure as a Service
(IaaS)

Service Types
Software as a Service (SaaS)
The consumer uses the
provider’s applications running
on a cloud infrastructure and
accessible via various client
devices but has no control over
the underlying infrastructure
Platform as a Service (PaaS)
Consumer-created applications
are deployed using the cloud
provider’s tools. The consumer
has no control over the
underlying infrastructure but may
have control over the deployed
applications
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
The consumer rents storage, processing, networks and other
fundamental computing resources of the provider’s cloud to run
arbitrary software inclusive of operating systems and applications.
The consumer does not manage underlying infrastructure but has
control over deployed applications, operating systems and
possibly select networking components (e.g. load balancers,
firewalls)
