☁️ Cloud Service Models

IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service)

Provides virtualized computing resources—servers, storage, networking. Customer manages OS, apps, data.

PaaS (Platform as a Service)

Provides application running environment. Provider manages hardware and OS; developers focus on apps.

SaaS (Software as a Service)

Delivers fully functional software applications over the internet. Provider manages everything.

☁️ Cloud Types

Public Cloud

Open to the public; resources shared across multiple organizations.

Private Cloud

Dedicated to a single organization; offers greater control.

Hybrid Cloud

Combines public cloud with on-premises infrastructure.

🖥️ Virtualization

Hypervisor (VMM)

Software that creates and runs VMs; allocates resources to multiple VMs.

Partitioning

Hypervisor allocates server resources to multiple VMs.

Isolation

VMs are independent—if one fails, others are not affected.

Encapsulation

Each VM is saved as hardware-independent files.

📦 Containers vs VMs

Containers

Lightweight virtualization—share host OS kernel, no full OS replication.

VMs

Full OS per instance, more resource-heavy but stronger isolation.

🌐 AWS Services

Amazon EC2

Resizable compute capacity as virtual machines in the cloud.

AWS Lambda

Runs code without provisioning or managing servers (serverless).

Amazon S3

Object storage for scalable storage and data protection.

Amazon VPC

Creates logically isolated virtual networks in AWS.

📝 Key Summaries

☁️ Cloud Computing Advantages

Trade CapEx for OpEx: Pay only for resources used instead of upfront hardware purchases.
Massive Economies of Scale: Lower costs from provider's bulk purchasing.
Stop Guessing Capacity: Scale resources up or down as needed.
Increase Speed and Agility: Provision resources in minutes instead of weeks.
Go Global in Minutes: Deploy applications worldwide using provider infrastructure.

💰 AWS Pricing Principles

Pay for What You Use: No upfront costs; pay only for consumed resources.
Pay Less When You Reserve: Reserved Instances offer discounts for commitment.
Pay Less When You Use More: Volume-based discounts.
Pay Even Less as AWS Grows: Economies of scale passed to customers.

🌐 AWS Global Infrastructure

Regions: Geographic areas with multiple Availability Zones.
Availability Zones: Isolated locations within a Region; connected via private networking.
Data Centers: Physical facilities with redundant power and connectivity.
Points of Presence: Edge locations for content delivery and reduced latency.

🔐 AWS Support Plans

Basic: General access to documentation, forums, and account resources.
Developer: For testing and non-production workloads.
Business: For production workloads requiring high availability.
Enterprise: For mission-critical workloads with TAM support.
