## Introduction to cloud computing
- Define cloud computing.
- Compute Power
- Storage
- Pay only ressources you use
- Upkeep is done by cloud provider
- Describe the shared responsibility model.
- Cloud Provider: Physical security, power, cooling, and network connectivity are the responsibility
- Consumer: responsible for the data and information stored in the cloud.
- IAAS (Infrastructure)-> PAAS (Platform) -> SAAS (Software)

- Define cloud models, including public, private, and hybrid.
- | **Public cloud** | **Private cloud** | **Hybrid cloud** |
| ---- | ---- | ---- |
| No capital expenditures to scale up | Organizations have complete control over resources and security | Provides the most flexibility |
| Applications can be quickly provisioned and deprovisioned | Data is not collocated with other organizations data | Organizations determine where to run their applications |
| Organizations pay only for what they use | Hardware must be purchased for startup and maintenance | Organizations control security, compliance, or legal requirements |
| Organizations dont have complete control over resources and security | Organizations are responsible for hardware maintenance and updates | |
- Azure ARC
- Manage Cloud environment
- Identify appropriate use cases for each cloud model.
- Describe the consumption-based model.
- Capital expenditure (**CapEx**)
- upfront one time expenditure
- Operational expenditure (**OpEx**)
- spending money on services or products over time
- Cloud computing is here
- Compare cloud pricing models.
- pay-as-you-go pricing model
- ## Describe the benefits of using cloud services
- Describe the benefits of high availability and scalability in the cloud.
- **uptime** (or availability)
- **demand** (or scale)
- Scalability refers to the ability to adjust resources to meet demand
- **vertical**
- increasing or decreasing the capabilities of resources (i.e. RAM or CPU)
- **horizontal**
- adding or subtracting the number of resources (i.e. VMs or containers)
- each Service has own SLA
- Describe the benefits of reliability and predictability in the cloud.
- **Reliability** is the ability of a system to recover from failures and continue to function
- decentralized design and global scale across data centers
- **Predictability**
- **performance** predictability
- Autoscaling, load balancing, and high availability
- **cost** predictability
- track cost in real time
- Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) or Pricing Calculator
- Describe the benefits of **security** and **governance** in the cloud.
- Set templates
- update all your deployed resources to new standards
- Cloud-based auditing
- handle distributed denial of service (DDoS)
- Describe the benefits of **manageability** in the cloud.
- Automatically scale resource
- Deploy resources based on (preconfigured) templates
- Monitor health and replace failing resources
- Automatic alerts
- Use
- Web Portal, CLI, APIs, PowerShell
- ###Describe cloud service types
- Describe Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).
- renting the hardware in a cloud datacenter (i.e. Hetzner)
- **Scenarios**
- Lift-and-shift migration
- Test an development
- Describe Platform as a Service (PaaS).
- maintain the operating systems, databases, and development tools
- **Scenarios**
- Development framework
- Analytics or business intelligence
- Describe Software as a Service (SaaS).
- Use Maintained Software
- **Scenarios**
- Email and messaging.
- Business productivity applications.
- Finance and expense tracking.
- Identify appropriate use cases for each cloud service (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS).
