This document provides an overview of cloud concepts and types of cloud services. It discusses the key benefits of cloud services like scalability, elasticity, and predictive costs. It also explains the differences between public, private, and hybrid cloud models as well as the three main types of cloud services: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). The document concludes with review questions to test the reader's understanding of cloud concepts.

Module 01: Cloud concepts Lesson 01: Learning objectives Module 1 – Learning objectives • Describe and understand cloud services and their benefits • Understand key terms you will encounter when working with cloud services • Understand public, private, and hybrid cloud models • Understand infrastructure as a service (IaaS) • Understand platform as a service (PaaS) • Understand software as a service (SaaS) Lesson 02: Why cloud services? Key concepts and terms Cloud services have certain characteristics and considerations, such as:
High availability Disaster recovery
Scalability Global reach Elasticity Customer latency capabilities Agility Predictive cost considerations Fault tolerance Security Economies of scale The concept of economies of scale is the ability to do things less expensively and more efficiently when operating at a larger scale in comparison to operating at a smaller scale.
Cloud providers such as Microsoft, Google, and Amazon Web Services
(AWS) are very large businesses, and thus can leverage the benefits of economies of scale and then pass those benefits on to their customers. CapEx vs. OpEx Capital Expenditure (CapEx) : spend on physical infrastructure up front, deduct the expense from your tax bill. High upfront cost, value of investment reduces over time.
Operational Expenditure (OpEx) : spend on services or products as
needed, and get billed immediately. Deduct the expense from your tax bill in the same year. No upfront cost, pay-as-you use. Consumption-based model
Users only pay for the resources they use
Lesson 03: Types of cloud models Public cloud Owned by cloud services or hosting provider. Provides resources and services to multiple organizations and users. Accessed via secure network connection (typically over the internet). Private cloud Owned and operated by the organization that uses cloud resources. Organizations create a cloud environment in their data center. Self-service access to compute resources provided to users within the organization. Organizations responsible for operating the services they provide. Hybrid cloud
Combines Public and Private clouds to allow applications to run in
the most appropriate location. Lesson 04: Types of cloud services Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) • Most basic cloud computing services category. • Build pay-as-you-go IT infrastructure by renting servers, virtual machines, storage, networks, and operating systems from a cloud provider. • Instant computing infrastructure, provisioned and managed over the internet. Platform as a Service (PaaS)
• Provides environment for building, testing, and deploying software applications. • Helps create applications quickly, without focusing on managing underlying infrastructure. Software as a Service (SaaS)
Centrally hosted and managed software for end users. Users connect to and use cloud-based apps over the internet. For example, Microsoft Office 365, email, and calendars. Management responsibilities Lesson 05: Module review questions Module 1 review questions
