Cloud Computing and IT Security Overview

What is cloud computing?

• Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services over the internet.

• A method for storing data on local servers.

• A type of software used for video games.

• A way to enhance personal computer performance.

Name three types of cloud service models.

• FaaS

• IaaS, PaaS, SaaS

• CaaS

• DaaS

What does IaaS stand for?

• Infrastructure as a System

• Integration as a Service

• Infrastructure as a Service

• Information as a Service

How does PaaS differ from SaaS?

• PaaS offers a platform for app development, while SaaS provides ready-to-use software applications.

• PaaS is a type of hardware service.

• SaaS requires extensive coding knowledge.

• PaaS is only for large enterprises.

What is a public cloud?

• A public cloud is a local server used by one company.
