Question
Answer
What is Cloud Computing?   On-demand availability of computer system resources, especially compute and storage, without direct active management by the user  
🗑
What are the main components of a server?   RAM - memory CPU - compute Storage - data Databases - structured data Networking - switch, router  
🗑
Define Private Cloud   Using cloud resources owned and operated by themselves; secure and optimised to their requirements - not publicly accessible  
🗑
Define Public Cloud   Using cloud resources owned and operated by a third party and rented to multiple businesses;  
🗑
Define Hybrid Cloud   Retaining some on-prem services while branching out into using public/private cloud services  
🗑
What are the five principles of Cloud Computing?   On-demand self-service Broad network access Multi-tenancy and resource pooling Rapid elasticity and scalability Measured service  
🗑
How does the global infrastructure of AWS work?   Regions - Availability Zones (at least 2, used to deploy infra) - Data Centres (at least 2, connected with high bandwidth network with redundant power) - Edge Locations  
🗑
What might influence the geographic location a user chooses to deploy their infrastructure into?   Local data protection laws Availability of services Cost of services Proximity to user-base  
🗑
Define IaaS   A business rents the underlying infrastructure of their application as a service Highly flexible and easy to parallel with on-prem IT  
🗑
Define PaaS   A business rents the underlying infrastructure and platform of their application as a service Focus on deployment and management of applications and data  
🗑
Define SaaS   A business rents a fully-operational application as a service  
🗑
Principles of AWS Pricing   PAYG Compute - pay for compute time Storage - pay for data stored in the cloud Access - pay to transfer data OUT of the cloud  
🗑
What is the Shared Responsibility Model?   Distribution of responsibilities for security in the cloud Customer: Responsible for security IN the cloud (user's data, applications, client/server-side encryption) AWS: Responsible for security OF the cloud (AWS-provided hardware and software)  
🗑
What are the benefits of Cloud Computing?   Trade capital expense (CAPEX) for operational expense (OPEX) Go global in minutes No need to predict/provision/maintain data centres High availability, scalability, redundancy  
🗑
