The document provides an overview of cloud computing. It defines cloud computing as enabling on-demand access to configurable computing resources over the internet. There are five essential cloud characteristics: on-demand self-service, broad network access, resource pooling, rapid elasticity, and measured service. There are three cloud service models: Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). There are also four deployment models: private cloud, community cloud, public cloud, and hybrid cloud. The document discusses advantages and challenges of cloud computing as well as trends in data centers and cloud adoption.

Cloud computing means transferring ICT resources (servers, hosts, applications, databases, platforms etc.) to a cloud service provider (CSP) with the goal of reducing capital expenditures (CapEx).
Cloud computing differs from legacy hosting services in that CSPs offer standardized services on a massive scale which results in economy-of-scale effects thus further reducing operating expenses (OpEx).
Different cloud models such as public, private and hybrid clouds address different customer needs.
The 3 categories for the functional level of cloud services are IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service),
PaaS (Platform as a Service) and SaaS (Software as a Service). Countless models emerge almost daily such as MaaS (Management as a Service), BaaS (Backend as a Service) and NaaS (Network as a Service).
To accommodate increases in processing power, cloud services offer the possibility to scale-up or scale-out.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Key Trends Shaping the Future of Infrastructure.pdfCheryl Hung
Keynote at DIGIT West Expo, Glasgow on 29 May 2024.
Cheryl Hung, ochery.com
Sr Director, Infrastructure Ecosystem, Arm.
The key trends across hardware, cloud and open-source; exploring how these areas are likely to mature and develop over the short and long-term, and then considering how organisations can position themselves to adapt and thrive.
2. Origin of the term “Cloud Computing”
• “Comes from the early days of the Internet where we drew the network as a
cloud… we didn’t care where the messages went… the cloud hid it from us” –
Kevin Marks, Google
• First cloud around networking (TCP/IP abstraction)
• Second cloud around documents (WWW data abstraction)
• The emerging cloud abstracts infrastructure complexities of servers,
applications, data, and heterogeneous platforms
– (“muck” as Amazon’s CEO Jeff Bezos calls it)

3. A Working Definition of Cloud Computing
• Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-
demand network access to a shared pool of configurable
computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage,
applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned
and released with minimal management effort or service
provider interaction.
• This cloud model promotes availability and is composed of five
essential characteristics, three service models, and four
deployment models.

5. 3 Cloud Service Models
• Cloud Software as a Service (SaaS)
–Use provider’s applications over a network
• Cloud Platform as a Service (PaaS)
–Deploy customer-created applications to a cloud
• Cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
–Rentprocessing, storage, network capacity, and other fundamental
computing resources
• To be considered “cloud” they must be deployed on top of
cloud infrastructure that has the key characteristics
5
8. 4 Cloud Deployment Models
• Private cloud
– enterprise owned or leased
• Community cloud
– shared infrastructure for specific community
• Public cloud
– Sold to the public, mega-scale infrastructure
• Hybrid cloud
– composition of two or more clouds
8
9. Common Cloud Characteristics
• Cloud computing often leverages:
– Massive scale
– Homogeneity
– Virtualization
– Resilient computing
– Low cost software
– Geographic distribution
– Service orientation
– Advanced security technologies
9
10. General Security Advantages
• Shifting public data to a external cloud reduces the exposure of the
internal sensitive data
• Cloud homogeneity makes security auditing/testing simpler
• Clouds enable automated security management
• Redundancy / Disaster Recovery
10
11. Balancing Threat Exposure and Cost
Effectiveness
• Private clouds may have less threat exposure than community clouds
which have less threat exposure than public clouds.
• Massive public clouds may be more cost effective than large
community clouds which may be more cost effective than small private
clouds.
• Doesn’t strong security controls mean that I can adopt the most cost
effective approach?
11
12. Provisioning Service
• Advantages
– Rapid reconstitution of services
– Enables availability
• Provision in multiple data centers / multiple instances
– Advanced honey net capabilities
• Challenges
– Impact of compromising the provisioning service
12
13. Data Storage Services
• Advantages
–Data fragmentation and dispersal
–Automated replication
–Provision of data zones (e.g., by region)
–Encryption at rest and in transit
–Automated data retention
• Challenges
–Isolation
management / data multi-tenancy
–Storage controller
• Single point of failure / compromise?
–No control over DR? 13
14. The ‘Why’ and ‘How’ of Cloud Migration
• There are many benefits that explain why to migrate to
clouds
– Costsavings, power savings, green savings, increased agility in software
deployment
• Cloud security issues may drive and define how we adopt
and deploy cloud computing solutions
14
15. Possible Effects of
Cloud Computing
• Small enterprises use public SaaS and public clouds and
minimize growth of data centers
• Large enterprise data centers may evolve to act as private
clouds
• Large enterprises may use hybrid cloud infrastructure
software to leverage both internal and public clouds
• Public clouds may adopt standards in order to run workloads
from competing hybrid cloud infrastructures
15
16. Data Centre Trends
• Fewer, but larger Data Centres
• Is investment in DataCentres required?
• CPU / Memory – densities / Moores law
16
17. Business and IT are on different trajectories to
cloud
• Business is adopting cloud 5x faster than IT
– Drivers: speed, flexibility, economics
• While CIO’s are concerned about cloud risk
– 79% concerned about vendor lock-in2
– 75% demand high guarantees for performance &
availability2
– 70% have security top of mind1
– 63% prefer integration of cloud & on-premises IT services2
