- 3. Agenda ● What is the Cloud ? ● Public Cloud Providers - The major players ● Concept of “As a Service” ● Layers in Cloud Systems Architecture ● Cloud Services vs Data Center Infrastructure ● Demo Time : Setup a WebServer and Scaling ● The future : Serverless
- 4. What is the Cloud ? ● Globally Distributed “Infrastructure Farms” ● Enables instant “on demand” provisioning of Infrastructure ● Types of Cloud ○ Public ○ Private ○ Hybrid ● Foundational Concept : Virtualisation
- 5. Advantages of the Cloud ? ● Elasticity ● Agility ● Security ● Pay for What you use ● High Availability ● Infrastructure as Code
- 6. Public Cloud Providers - The Major Players Amazon Web Services Market Leader Over 15 years Core Strengths : Infrastructure as a Service, AI & ML services, Strong DevOps toolsets Azure Enterprise Favourite Hybrid Cloud & integration to SaaS offerings from Microsoft - Office 365, Azure AD Core Strengths : Easy integrations and migration efforts GCP Runs on the same infra as Google search Core Strengths : Big Data, Multi Cloud offering with Kubernetes
- 7. “As A Service Model” The core concept of Cloud Computing. Everything is offered as a Service at varying levels
- 8. *As a Service ● Infrastructure as a Service ● Platform as a Service ● Software as a Service ● Function as a Service ● Analytics as a Service
- 10. Layers in Cloud Systems Architecture
- 11. Typical System Architecture Layers Messaging ● Enables components to talk to each other Database ● Structured Storage : Relational / Non- Relational Data Storage ● Block Storage / Object Storage : Hard Disks Compute ● The Foundational Layer : Servers Analytics ● Search , Indexes, Data Processing

- 13. Demo Time Problem Statement I need to setup a personal blog and need it to be secure, stable and to scale based on load ● Runs Apache as Web Server ● Runs PHP as application ● Expected 10000 users per hour during daytime ● Night time is upto 50 users Solution Architecture Provider : AWS Services used : ● EC2 (Virtual Machines in the Cloud) ● UserData to install the software on boot ● AutoScaling based on Target Tracking
- 15. The Future : Serverless ● "Serverless" is an Operational Construct ● Abstraction between the application and infrastructure that serves it ● Sometimes known as Functions as a Service ● Uses Event Driven Architecture https://muhilvannan.com/webinar-introduction-to-aws-serverless-computing-aws- edi-user-group-21/
