01. The Shift to Cloud Computing. PART.-. Principles of Cloud Architecture Design .... 

Scene 3

Principles of Cloud Architecture Design ...

From Traditional IT to Cloud. Traditional IT Costs. 

Scene 4

Explains the challenges of traditional IT, requiring significant upfront investment and ongoing management costs, with risks of over or under-provisioning.

Describes the cloud solution, offering on-demand access to computing resources and a pay-as-you-go model, shifting costs from CapEx to OpEx.

Draws an analogy between cloud computing and electricity consumption, highlighting the utility-like access to computing resources.

Overcoming Traditional IT Challenges: Cost & Complexity. 

Scene 5

Overcoming Traditional IT Challenges: Cost & Complexity

Traditional IT requires significant initial investment in hardware, software, and infrastructure.

Continuous management of IT infrastructure leads to substantial and sustained operational expenses.

Enterprises face risks of over-provisioning (wasting resources) or under-provisioning (performance issues).

Cloud Computing: On-Demand, Cost-Effective Solution

01 On-Demand Resource Access Cloud computing provides on-demand access to computing power and resources, scaling with your needs. 02 Pay-as-You-Go Model Users pay only for the resources they actually use, optimizing costs and resource allocation. 03 CapEx to OpEx Shift Cloud computing shifts expenses from Capital Expenditure (CapEx) to Operational Expenditure (OpEx), improving financial flexibility. 04 Reduced Ownership Burden Businesses are freed from the responsibilities and costs associated with owning and maintaining IT infrastructure.

Cloud Computing: Electricity Analogy. Everyday Analogy: Electricity Similar to electricity consumption, cloud computing allows users to utilize computing resources from a provider without owning the underlying infrastructure..

Key Advantages of Cloud. Eliminating Large Investments. 

Scene 9

Cloud provides secure connectivity; growing popularity, subscription-based model, increased capacity on-demand; extending IT and avoiding new training costs.

Your data remains safe even if local devices are lost/damaged; files are secured remotely at the provider's data center.

Cloud offers significant cost savings, transforming IT into an operational expense rather than a capital drain, making it economical while maintaining utility.

Convenience and Accessibility. Access from Anywhere. 

Scene 11

Access files from any internet-connected device, anywhere; easily share files and collaborate with others over the web.

Reduced risk of data/file loss compared to local storage; strong passwords & privacy settings are important for security.

04. NIST Definition and Interpretations. PART.-. 

Scene 12

Understanding Cloud Computing. NIST Definition Overview. 

Scene 13

Cloud computing enables ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources.

Computing resources (hardware, storage, network, software) available over the Internet and accessible from any remote location or device.

Resources provided by the cloud vendor, rapidly provisioned, and released with elasticity; customers manage local devices while the provider manages cloud resources.

Scene 14

Storage, Accessing, and Sharing. 01. Cloud Core Function: Storage. 

Scene 15

Flickr demonstrates benefits over local storage; ubiquitous access, seamless sharing, and enhanced data security capabilities are readily available.

At its core, it provides the ability to store and retrieve information effectively, just like storing files on a local computer, but with added versatility.

Anywhere access from all your devices, easier sharing with others, and the data on cloud storage is more safe than personal storage.

Scene 16

Web as an Operating System. What is a Platform?. 03. 

Scene 17

It provides the underlying support for applications to run and deliver results to users, much like operating systems or programming environments.

Cloud computing helps the World Wide Web to evolve into an operating system.

Cloud isn't only about storing; it’s about providing the complete environment for software execution and user interaction.

07. PART.-. The 5-4-3 Principles of Cloud. 5.4. 5-4-3 Model of Cloud Computing. 

Scene 18

Introduction to 5-4-3 Principles. 01. NIST Framework Overview. 

Scene 19

The framework describes five essential characteristics, four deployment models, and three service models that define cloud computing structure and capabilities.

On-demand self-service, broad network access, resource pooling (elastic), rapid elasticity, and measured service.

The five essential characteristics promote and define cloud computing, all coming together to boost efficiency and productivity.
