Design of Compute and Storage Clouds
Cloud Computing Architecture
• As we know, cloud computing technology is used by both small and
large organizations to store the information in cloud and access it
from anywhere at anytime using an internet connection.
• Cloud computing architecture is a combination of service-oriented
architecture and event-driven architecture.
• Cloud computing architecture is divided into the following two parts -
• Front End
• Back End

Front End
• The front end is used by the client. It contains client-side interfaces and applications
that are required to access the cloud computing platforms. The front end includes
web servers (including Chrome, Firefox, internet explorer, etc.), thin & fat clients,
tablets, and mobile devices.
Back End
• The back end is used by the service provider. It manages all the resources that are
required to provide cloud computing services. It includes a huge amount of data
storage, security mechanism, virtual machines, deploying models, servers, traffic
control mechanisms, etc.

Components of Cloud Computing Architecture
There are the following components of cloud computing architecture -
1. Client Infrastructure
Client Infrastructure is a Front end component. It provides GUI (Graphical User
Interface) to interact with the cloud.
2. Application
The application may be any software or platform that a client wants to access.
3. Service
A Cloud Services manages that which type of service you access according to the
client’s requirement.

Components of Cloud Computing Architecture
Cloud computing offers the following three type of services:
i. Software as a Service (SaaS) – It is also known as cloud application
services. Mostly, SaaS applications run directly through the web browser
means we do not require to download and install these applications. Some
important example of SaaS is given below –
Example: Google Apps, Salesforce Dropbox, Slack, Hubspot, Cisco WebEx.
ii. Platform as a Service (PaaS) – It is also known as cloud
platform services. It is quite similar to SaaS, but the difference is that PaaS
provides a platform for software creation, but using SaaS, we can access
software over the internet without the need of any platform.
Example: Windows Azure, Force.com, Magento Commerce Cloud, OpenShift.

iii. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) – It is also known as cloud infrastructure
services. It is responsible for managing applications data, middleware, and
runtime environments.
Example: Amazon Web Services (AWS) EC2, Google Compute Engine (GCE),
Cisco Metapod.
4. Runtime Cloud
Runtime Cloud provides the execution and runtime environment to the virtual
machines.
5. Storage
Storage is one of the most important components of cloud computing. It provides
a huge amount of storage capacity in the cloud to store and manage data.

6. Infrastructure
It provides services on the host level, application level, and network level.
Cloud infrastructure includes hardware and software components such as
servers, storage, network devices, virtualization software, and other storage
resources that are needed to support the cloud computing model.
7. Management
Management is used to manage components such as application, service,
runtime cloud, storage, infrastructure, and other security issues in the backend
and establish coordination between them.

8. Security
Security is an in-built back end component of cloud computing. It implements
a security mechanism in the back end.
9. Internet
The Internet is medium through which front end and back end can interact and
communicate with each other.
