Cloud Services

IAAS Implementation

 

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is a type of cloud computing service that provides essential compute, storage, and networking resources on demand, on a pay-as-you-go basis. 

 

IaaS allows customers to outsource their IT infrastructure and access it over the internet, without having to invest in or maintain physical hardware

Network Setup

Network setup is the process of configuring the computers and their connections for both the local area network (LAN) and the wide area network (WAN) 1. 

 

The network setup configuration controls the communication between the computers, either through a wired or wireless connection

There are different ways to set up a network depending on your needs and preferences

Storage Configuration

Storage configuration is the process of setting up and managing the storage resources for cloud services. 

 

Cloud storage can be used for various purposes, such as hosting static websites, storing files and data, backing up and archiving data, and delivering content.

 Depending on the type and use of cloud storage, different configuration steps and options are available

Cloud (AWS, Azure, Google)

Cloud services are on-demand computing resources that are delivered over the internet, such as servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and intelligence . Cloud services enable users to access and use IT resources without having to invest in or manage physical infrastructure.

 

AWS, Azure, and Google are three of the most popular and widely used cloud service providers in the world. They offer a variety of cloud services for different purposes and needs

Platform Service Implementation

Platform as a Service (PaaS) is a type of cloud computing that provides a complete, flexible, and cost-effective cloud platform for developing, running, and managing applications without the need to buy, install, and maintain the underlying hardware and software 1. 

PaaS services are hosted in the cloud and accessed by users via their web browser or other tools. PaaS enables faster time to market, affordable access to a wider variety of resources, more freedom to experiment, easy scalability, and greater flexibility for development teams

Cloud Security

 

Cloud security is a broad term that encompasses the policies, technologies, and practices that aim to protect cloud-based systems, data, and infrastructure from cyberattacks and unauthorized access 1. 

Cloud security services are the specific solutions that help organizations achieve cloud security goals, 

such as identity and access management, firewall protection, monitoring, encryption, compliance, and anomaly detection

High Availability Implementation

High availability (HA) is the ability of a system or service to remain operational and accessible without interruption or degradation of performance. 

HA is a desirable quality for cloud services, as it ensures that customers can access the resources they need at any time and from any location. 

HA also helps to prevent data loss, service disruption, and customer dissatisfaction.

To achieve HA, cloud service providers need to implement various strategies and techniques

Disaster Recovery Implementation

Disaster recovery (DR) is the process of preparing for and recovering from a disaster that affects a workload or system. A disaster can be any event that prevents the normal operation of the workload, such as a natural calamity, a cyberattack, a hardware failure, or a human error.

 Cloud services can offer various benefits for implementing a DR plan, such as scalability, flexibility, cost-efficiency, and reliability

There are different strategies for implementing DR in the cloud, depending on the recovery time objective (RTO) and recovery point objective (RPO) of the workload.
