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?
Cloud computing
Compute power - such as Linux
servers or web applications.
Storage - such as files and databases.
Networking - such as secure
connections between the cloud
Cloud providers include
provider and your company. Microsoft, Amazon, and Google
Analytics - such as visualizing
telemetry and performance data.
Key concepts

High availability Fault tolerance

Scalability Elasticity

Global reach Customer latency capabilities

Agility Predictive cost considerations

Disaster recovery Security


Economies of scale
The concept of economies of scale is the ability to reduce costs and
gain efficiency when operating at a larger scale in comparison to
operating at a smaller scale.

Cloud providers 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 upfront.
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.
Get billed immediately.
Deduct the expense from your tax bill in the same year.
No upfront cost, pay-as-you use.
Consumption-based model
No upfront costs.
No need to purchase and manage
costly infrastructure.
Ability to pay for additional resources
as they are needed.
Ability to stop paying for resources
that are no longer needed.
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 datacenter.
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.
Cloud model comparison

• No capital expenditures to scale up.


Public cloud: • Applications can be quickly provisioned and deprovisioned.
• Organizations pay only for what they use.

• Organizations have complete control over resources.


Private cloud: • Organizations have complete control over security.

• Most flexibility.
• Organizations determine where to run their applications.
Hybrid cloud:
• Organizations control security, compliance, or legal
requirements.
Lesson 04: Types of cloud services
Shared responsibility model
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.
