Understanding Cloud Computing Models

What is cloud computing?

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

• Cloud computing is only for large enterprises.

• Cloud computing refers to local data storage.

• Cloud computing is a type of hardware.

Name the three main cloud computing models.

• PaaS, SaaS, BaaS

• IaaS, SaaS, DBaaS

• IaaS, PaaS, SaaS

• DaaS, FaaS, CaaS

What does IaaS stand for?

• Integration as a Service

• Interface as a Service

• Infrastructure as a Service

• Information as a Service

Which cloud model provides the highest level of control?

• Function as a Service (FaaS)

• Platform as a Service (PaaS)

• Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

• Software as a Service (SaaS)

What is PaaS and what does it offer?

• PaaS is a type of hardware for servers.

• PaaS offers a platform for application development, including tools, services, and infrastructure management.

• PaaS is exclusively for data analysis.

• PaaS only provides storage solutions.

Define SaaS and give an example.

• SaaS is a type of hardware; an example is a desktop computer.

• SaaS stands for Software as a System; an example is Microsoft Word.

• SaaS is a programming language; an example is Python.

• SaaS (Software as a Service) is a cloud computing model; an example is Google Workspace.

What is a public cloud?

• A public cloud is a private network for a single organization.

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

• A public cloud is a cloud computing service offered over the internet to multiple customers, managed by third-party providers.

• A public cloud is a type of software installed on personal computers.

What are the advantages of using a private cloud?

• Automatic scaling without manual intervention

• Advantages of using a private cloud include enhanced security, greater control, improved performance, and customization.

• Limited access to resources and services

• Lower costs and reduced maintenance

Explain the concept of hybrid cloud.

• A hybrid cloud is a type of public cloud that does not allow data sharing.

• A hybrid cloud is a combination of public and private cloud environments that allows data and applications to be shared between them.

• A hybrid cloud only refers to on-premises data centers.

• A hybrid cloud is solely a private cloud solution.

What is the primary benefit of cloud computing?

• Increased hardware requirements

• Limited accessibility

• Higher upfront costs

• Scalability and cost efficiency
