Basics of Cloud computing

Introduction:-   

Definition of cloud computing is that, an internet based computing model whereby shared resources,software's,information's etc are provided to computers or any other devices on demand


Another definition :- A cloud is a pool of virtualized computer resources, A cloud can
  •  Host a variety of different workloads, including batch-style back-end jobs and interactive,  user-facing applications
  • Allow workloads to be deployed and scaled-out quickly through the rapid provisioning of  virtual machines or physical machines
  • Support redundant, self-recovering, highly scalable programming models that allow  workloads to recover from many unavoidable hardware/software failures
  • Monitor resource use in real time to enable rebalancing of allocations when needed




Starts :- It can be the ability to rent a server or a thousand servers and run a geophysical modeling application on the most powerful systems available anywhere. It can be the ability to rent a virtual server,load software on it, turn it on and off at will, or clone it ten times to meet a sudden workload demand. It can be storing and securing immense amounts of data that is accessible only by authorized applications and users. It can be supported by a cloud provider that sets up a platform that includes the OS, Apache, a MySQL™ database,Perl, Python, and PHP with the ability to scale automatically in response to changing workloads. Cloud computing can be the ability to use applications on the Internet that store and protect data while providing a service (on-demand services) — anything including email,sales force automation and tax preparation. It can be using a storage cloud to hold application, business, and personal data. And it can be the ability to use a handful of Web services to integrate photos, maps, and GPS information to create a mashup in customer Web browsers.
