Hello readers! Today, we are going to start new topic of our #90DaysOfDevOps adventure, exploring the vast skies of Cloud Computing. If you're wondering what this 'cloud' is all about, you're in the right place!
Understanding Cloud Computing: Beyond the Sky
What is Cloud Computing?
At its essence, cloud computing is like a digital utility. Instead of building and maintaining your own infrastructure, you tap into resources and services provided over the internet.
Advantages and Disadvantages: Navigating the Cloudscape
Advantages:
Cost-Efficiency: Pay only for what you use, reducing capital expenses.
Scalability: Scale resources up or down based on demand effortlessly.
Accessibility: Access your data and applications from anywhere with an internet connection.
Disadvantages:
Dependency on Internet: Operations may be hindered without a stable internet connection.
Security Concerns: Entrusting data to third-party providers raises security considerations.
1. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS):
Digital Building Blocks:
Definition:
Provides virtualized computing resources over the internet.
Example:
Think of IaaS as renting virtual machines, storage, and networks.
2. Platform as a Service (PaaS):
Ready-Made Platforms:
Definition:
Offers a platform that allows customers to develop, run, and manage applications.
Example:
A platform for building and deploying web applications without worrying about the underlying infrastructure.
3. Software as a Service (SaaS):
Ready-to-Use Applications:
Definition:
Delivers software applications over the internet on a subscription basis.
Example:
Google Workspace or Microsoft 365.
As we soar through this overview, keep in mind that this cloud journey won't cover every cloud detail in our brief time together. The good news? We've covered some of these topics in-depth in previous posts! Feel free to check those out for deeper dives.
The clouds are vast, and our exploration has just begun. Join us as we continue to navigate the intricate skies of DevOps.
