How cloud services work
cloud computing services have several common attributes:
Visualization – cloud computing utilizes server and storage visualization extensively to allocate/reallocate resources rapidly
Multi-tenacy
– resources are pooled and shared among multiple users to gain economies of scale
Network-access
– resources are accessed via web-browser or thin client using a variety of networked devices (computer, tablet, smartphone)
On demand
– resources are self-provisioned from an online catalogue of pre-defined configuration
Elastic
– resources can scale up or down, automatically
Metering/charge-back
– resource usage is tracked and billed based on service arrangement
among the many types of cloud computing services delivered internally or by third party service providers, the most common are:
Software as a Service (SaaS)- software runs on computers owned and managed by the SaaS provider, versus installed and managed on user computers. The software is accessed over the public internet and generally offered on a monthly or yearly subscription.
Infrastructure as a Service (LaaS)- compute, storage, networking, and other elements (security, tools) are provided by the LaaS provider via public internet, VPN, or dedicated network connection. Users own and manage operating systems, applications, and information running on the infrastructure and pay by usage.
Platform as a Service (PaaS)- All software and hardware required to build and operate cloud-based applications are provided by the PaaS provider via public internet, VPN, or dedicated network connection. User pay by use of the platform and control how applications are utilized throughout their life-cycle.
