The cloud is made up of servers in data centers all over the world.
“The cloud” started off as a tech industry slang term.
Сloud deployment types:
Public cloud services, operated by a public cloud provider — These include software-as-a-service (SaaS), infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS), and platform-as-a-service (PaaS).
Private cloud services, operated by a public cloud provider — These services provide a computing environment dedicated to one customer, operated by a third party.
Private cloud services, operated by internal staff — These services are an evolution of the traditional data center, where internal staff operates a virtual environment they control.
Hybrid cloud services — Private and public cloud computing configurations can be combined, hosting workloads and data based on optimizing factors such as cost, security, operations, and access. The operation will involve internal staff, and optionally a public cloud provider.
Cloud security involves procedures and technology that secure cloud computing environments against both external and insider cybersecurity threats. Cloud computing, which is the delivery of information technology services over the internet, has become a must for businesses and governments seeking to accelerate innovation and collaboration. Moving to the cloud can save companies money and add convenience for users.
