4. What is Cloud Computing?
Vivek Kundra, ex CIO in Obama Administration says “Just like waterwhere scalableyour
Gartner defines cloud computing as “a style of computing from the tap in and
kitchen, cloud computing services can be turned on or off quicklyto customers using
elastic IT-related capabilities are provided ‘as a service’ as needed. Like at the
water company, there is a teamInternet Technologies.” making sure the service
of dedicated professionals
provided is safe, secure and available on a 24/7 basis. When the tap isn’t on, not only are
you saving water, but you aren’t paying for resources you don’t currently need”
Shared resource Ubiquitous

Service Models
Software as a Service (SaaS)
• Use provider’s applications over a network
• Example:
SalesForce, GoogleApps, YahooMail
Platform as a Service (PaaS)
• Deploy customer-created applications to a
cloud
• Example: : Microsoft Azure, Google App
Engine, Force.com, VMWare Cloud Foundry
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
• Rent processing, storage, network
capacity, and other fundamental computing
resources
• Example: Amazon EC2, CloudStack
