Cloud Concepts Cheat Sheet
• Microsoft Azure is a Cloud Service Provider (CSP)
• The 4 common types of cloud services for Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): Compute, Storage, Networking, Databases
• The Benefits of Cloud Computing are:
• Cost-effective no up-front cost. Pay-as-you-go (PAYG) thousands of customers sharing the cost.
• Global — Launch workloads anywhere in the world, Just choose a region.
• Secure — CSP takes care of physical security. can by secure by default, ability to configure to granular level.
• Reliable — data backup, disaster recovery, and data replication, and fault tolerance.
• Scalable — Increase or decrease resources and services based on demand.
• Elastic — Automate scaling during spikes and drop in demand.
• Current — The underlying hardware and managed software is patched, upgraded and replaced by the CSP
• The Types of Cloud Computing
• Software as a Service (SaaS) For customers — A product that is run and managed by the service provider
• Don’t worry about how the service is maintained. It just works and remains available.
• eg. Salesforce, Office 365, Gmail
• Platform as a Service (PaaS) For developers — Focus on the deployment and management of your apps.
• Don’t worry about, provisioning, configuring or understanding the hardware or OS.
• eg. Azure App Service, Heroku, AWS Elastic Beanstalk, Google App Engine
• Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) For admins — The basic building blocks for cloud IT. Provides access to networking
features, computers and data storage space.
• Don’t worry about IT staff, data centers and hardware.
• Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, Oracle Cloud, Google Cloud Platform
Cloud Concepts Cheat Sheet
• Microsoft Azure Cloud Deployment Models
• Public Cloud — When everything is built on a Cloud Service Provider (CSP) also known as Cloud-Native
• Low Cost, Fast Adoption, Less Control over Hardware, More Cloud Service Offerings
• Private Cloud — When everything is built on a company’s own datacenter. (On-Premise) The on-premise infrastructure is
running their own cloud stack such as open-source cloud framework Open Stack.
• High Cost, Can meet any Security compliance requirement if they can implement it. Full control of Hardware
• Hybrid Cloud — When a company uses both Private Cloud and Public Cloud and they are connected via an internet
connection to act as hybrid infrastructure
• Cloud offload cost and effort to cloud, but allow greater security and control for sensitive high performing workloads.
• Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) is a financial estimate intended to help buyers and owners determine the direct and indirect costs
of a product or system. In the context of Azure Microsoft it the difference between On-Premise vs Cloud-Native
• Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) Spend money upfront on physical infrastructure. Deduct expense from tax bill over time.
• Server Costs (computers), Storage Costs (hard drives), Network Costs (Routers, Cables, Switches), Backup and Archive Costs,
Disaster Recovery Costs, Datacenter Costs (Rent, Cooling, Physical Security), Technical Personal
• With Capital Expenses you have to guess upfront what you plan to spend
• Operational Expenditure (CAPEX) Non-physical costs. Ongoing costs for running a product, business or system
• Leasing Software and Customizing features, Training Employees in Cloud Services, Paying for Cloud Support, Billing based on
cloud metrics eg. Compute and storage usage.
• With Operation Expenses you can try a product or service without investing in equipment
Cloud Architecture Terminology Cheat Sheet
• Availability —Ability to remain available by ensuring there is *no single point of failure and/or ensure a level of performance
• Running your workload across multiple Availability Zones ensures that AZs become unavailable your service
applications remains available.
• A service that correctly implements availability is known as being Highly Available (HA)
• You can use Azure Load Balancer to be Highly Available
• Scalability — Your ability to increase your capacity based on the demand of traffic, memory and computing usage
• Vertical Scaling (Scaling Up) When you increase the size of your instance
• Horizontal Scaling (Scaling Out) When you add more servers of the same size
• Elasticity —Ability to automatically increase or decrease your capacity based on the current demand of traffic, memory and
computing power
• You use Horizontal Scaling to be Elastic:
• Scaling In — When you remove servers when demand decreases
• Scaling Out — When add servers when demand increases
• You would Azure VM Scale Sets to automate and trigger scaling actions for Azure Virtual Machines
• Fault Tolerance — Ability to ensure there is no no single point of failure. Preventing the chance of failure
• Fail-overs is when you have a plan to shift traffic to a redundant system in case the primary system fails
• Imagine you have a Database and the primary fails, so you fail-over to your secondary stand-by database
• You can use Azure Traffic Manager a DNS-based traffic balancer to fail-over
• Disaster Recovery (DR)— Ability to recover from a disaster and to prevent the loss of data
• To be Highly Durable, have backups, determine time to restore data, make sure your backups work, check the integrity of
your data and watch out for data corruption

• Alternate Regions — extends Azures global footprint, No AZ support, labeled as “Other” in Azure Portal
• General availability (GA) is when a service is considered ready to be used publicly by everyone.
• Azure Cloud services are grouped into three categories that determine when resource become available:
• Foundational — When GA, immediately or in 12 months in Recommended and Alternate Regions
• Mainstream — When GA immediately or in 12 months in Recommended Regions, May become available in Alternate
Regions based on customer demand
• Specialized — Available in Recommended or Alternate Region based on customer demand.

Technology Overview Cheat Sheet
What is Serverless?
When the underlying servers, infrastructure and OS is taken care of by the Cloud Service Provider (CSP) It will generally
