What is Cloud
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
With IaaS you manage everything that runs within the OS, and
your cloud provider handles the rest: the physical management of the servers,
taking care of storage and the network, virtualization, backup power, etc. The
only thing you need to worry about is installing the operating system and
configuring the server to suit your needs.
Platform as a Service (PaaS).
With PaaS there’s much less need to spend time on your
infrastructure, so you can spend more time on your application
Software as a Service (SaaS).
The big advantage of Cloud
Services is that all you need to do is build your application, package it, and
finally deploy it to Microsoft Azure: all the rest is done for you.
Why use the cloud?
Businesses generally consider moving their applications to
the cloud for one of three reasons: speed, scale, and economics. Let’s briefly
examine each of these advantages that cloud computing can provide.
Speed
Developing applications that run in the cloud can be
significantly faster than traditional application development for two reasons.
First, you don’t have to deploy, configure, and maintain the underlying
computing, storage, and networking infrastructures on which your applications
will run. Instead, you can utilize infrastructure resources provided to you by
your cloud hosting provider. A good analogy is lighting up your house. A second
reason why cloud-based applications can be faster to deploy has to do with how
applications are developed
Scale
Cloud applications can also scale out quickly because
commodity compute, storage, and networking resources are pooled by the hoster
and can be provisioned to the your business as your need arises.
Economics
Regarding economic efficiencies, many organizations decide
to make the move to the cloud because the cost of running their business
applications in the cloud can be significantly lower than running them on-premises.
