Cloud computing refers to scalable hardware and software resources that are made available to the public as a utility over the internet. Key concepts include regions and zones, storage, networking and security, monitoring, auto scaling, and load balancing. There are three main types of cloud services - Software as a Service (SaaS) which provides cloud-based applications, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) which provides virtualized computing resources and platforms, and Platform as a Service (PaaS) which provides development environments in the cloud. Major cloud providers make these services available to end users on a pay-as-you-go basis.

2. What is cloud computing?
• The scalable hardware and software is what we will call a Cloud.
• When a Cloud is made available to the general public, we call it a Public Cloud.
This often means that one can access a cloud for free or in a pay-as-you-go
manner.
• The service being sold is Utility Computing.

8. Software as a Service (SaaS)
• Cloud application services or “Software as a Service” (SaaS) are probably the
most popular form of cloud computing and are easy to use.

9. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
• Cloud infrastructure services, known as “Infrastructure as a Service” (IaaS),
deliver computer infrastructure (such as a platform virtualization environment),
storage, and networking.

10. Platform as a Service (PaaS)
• The most complex of the three, cloud platform services or “Platform as a
Service” (PaaS) deliver computational resources through a platform.
