Cloud Computing Basics Guide

Cloud environments are classified based on deployment and service models. Deployment models include public clouds which are shared, private clouds for a single organization, and hybrid clouds combining local and public setups. Service models are infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and software as a service (SaaS). IaaS provides virtual machines, PaaS provides development platforms, and SaaS provides complete software applications. Choosing cloud services also requires selecting appropriate hardware, storage, networking, security, monitoring, testing, and analytics tools.

Basics of Cloud Computing

-Notes by Saransh Kejriwal

Advantages of a cloud over having your own in-house setup are the same as those of hiring an Uber over owning a
car. Won’t dwell on that…

Cloud environments are classified based on 2 considerations – - Type of Service model


- Type of Deployment model

Deployment models – Public, Private, Hybrid:


 Public – A bus, you share it with others, the provider owns it (eg. IBM BlueCloud, Amazon AWS, Microsoft
Azure)
 Private – your own car (for an org only; huge upfront cost, eg. VMware, AWS)
 Hybrid – Uber (effectively you’re using your local setup in tandem with the cloud to get the best of both
worlds)

Hybrid clouds are typically used to maintain confidential data privately.

Service models – Iaas, Paas, Saas


 Iaas (Infra as a Service) – if all you need is a VM and you know how to setup your environment.
 Paas (Platform as a Service) – a platform to create your own program
 Saas (Software as a Service) – the finished program to use as an abstracted end user on the net. With a
customisable app.

Iaas – AWS EC2, Google, Azure; used by IT admins


Paas gives you a platform ready runtime envt. Eg. AWS EBS, Azure, Google App Engine; used by developers
Saas – vendor manages everything. We pay as we go.

Digital Ocean was the 3rd largest in client-facing hosting service. VMware is owned by Dell.

Using Cloud

Once you know why you need a cloud service, you need to choose the right hardware for your usage, eg:
Hardware services
 EC2
 Lambda – for “serverless computing (backend as a service, but you only pay for what you’re using
dynamically…somehow)”
 ECS (Elastic Container Service)

Storage services – to backup and/or archive data


 S3 – used for Backup
 Glacier – used for Archival
 EFS

Network Services
 VPC – for network (???)
 Route S3 – DNS
 Direct Connect – P2P

Security Services
 IAM – Auth
 KMS - Data encryption

Monitoring tools
 Cloudwatch – for monitoring
 Autoscaling
 CloudFormation – define the management process and tools (???)

Testing tools
 Codestar
 Codebuild
 Codepipeline

Analytics tools
 Athena – for visual representation
 EMR – Elastic MapReduce

EC2 + S3

S3 can be used for data storage and EC2 can be used to run a linux envt.
Need a more comprehensive tute to get how to actually run anything on AWS.
