Cloud Computing
According to the official NIST definition, "cloud
computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous,
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."

Cloud Deployment and
Service Models
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
● Provides capability to the consumer to
hire infrastructure components such as
servers, storage, and network.
● Enables consumers to deploy and run
software, including OS and applications.
● Examples include: Amazon EC2, S3.
VMware vCloud Air, Google Compute
Engine
Shaimaa M. Mohamed 19
Cloud Deployment and
Service Models
Platform as a Service (PaaS)
● Capabilities provided to the consumer to deploy
consumer-created or acquired applications on the
provider’s infrastructure.
● Consumer has control over deployed applications
and possible application hosting environmental
configuration
● Examples include: Pivotal cloud foundry, Google App
Engine, AWS , Microsoft Azure.
Cloud Deployment and
Service Models
Software as a Service (PaaS)
● Capabilities provided to the consumer to user
provider’s applications running in a cloud
infrastructure.
● Complete stack including application is provided as a
service.
● Applications is accessible from various devices, for
example via a thin client interface such as a web
browser.
● Examples include: Google Apps, Microsoft Office 365
