Cloud Computing Working Definition And Components

“IT as a service” abstraction from the physical

Shared and virtualized computing, storage and networking

resources

Geographically distributed

Consumed as a service, priced upon usage

Dynamic scale and resource allocation

Application and workload portability

Applicable for Production Test/Dev and Recovery workloads

Cloud Service ModelsSoftware as a Service (SaaS)–applications running on a cloud infrastructure, accessible from a web browser or other thin client–consumer does not manage or control the underlying cloud infrastructure

Platform as a Service (PaaS)–consumer-created applications deployed to the cloud infrastructure–consumer does not manage or control the underlying cloud infrastructure but does have control over the deployed applications

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)–consumer provisions processing, storage, networks, & other fundamental computing resources –consumer does not manage or control the underlying cloud infrastructure but has control over operating systems, storage, deployed applications, & possibly limited control of select networking components (e.g. host firewalls)
