Cloud Deployment Models and Service Types Flashcards
| Front | Back |
| Define Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) | Provides virtualized computing resources such as servers and storage online |
| Define Platform as a Service (PaaS) | Offers a complete platform with tools and libraries for developers to build applications |
| Define Software as a Service (SaaS) | Delivers application software over the internet on a subscription basis |
| How do cloud deployment models differ? | They vary based on access, control, and intended audience such as public openness versus private exclusivity |
| How does IaaS benefit businesses? | It enables scalable infrastructure management and cost savings by eliminating physical hardware investments |
| How does PaaS benefit developers? | Simplifies development with prebuilt tools and runtime environments and management services |
| How does SaaS benefit organizations? | Eliminates installation overhead and provides easy access to applications with automatic updates |
| What are the benefits of a community cloud? | Enables cost sharing and collaboration among organizations with similar compliance needs |
| What are the benefits of a hybrid cloud? | It allows organizations to balance workload distribution, scalability, and control between public and private resources |
| What are the benefits of a private cloud? | Offers higher security and compliance control as well as customization at the cost of increased management overhead |
| What are the benefits of a public cloud? | Provides cost efficiency scalability and reduced maintenance by outsourcing infrastructure management |
| What are typical use cases for IaaS? | Hosting virtual machines disaster recovery and test and development environments |
| What are typical use cases for PaaS? | Application development API management and integration services |
| What are typical use cases for SaaS? | Email services CRM systems and collaboration tools |
| What is a community cloud? | A cloud infrastructure shared by multiple organizations with similar needs |
| What is a hybrid cloud? | A deployment model that combines public and private clouds to offer flexibility |
| What is a private cloud? | A cloud deployment model dedicated solely to one organization with enhanced security |
| What is a public cloud? | A cloud deployment model that offers services over the internet to any user |
| What is elasticity in cloud computing? | Automatic scaling of resources up or down based on workload demands |
| What is multi tenancy in cloud services? | A resource sharing architecture where multiple customers use the same application instance while isolating their data |
| What is pay as you go pricing? | A billing model where users pay only for the resources they consume which promotes cost efficiency |
| What is scalability in cloud computing? | Ability to increase resources to handle growing workloads either vertically or horizontally |
| What is vendor lock in cloud computing? | Difficulty moving workloads between providers due to proprietary services and APIs |
| What is workload bursting in cloud computing? | Use of cloud resources to handle temporary spikes in demand beyond private infrastructure capacity |
