Which of the following is a cloud computing deployment model in which the cloud infrastructure is provision for open use by the general public?

Cloud computing is providing developers and IT departments with the ability to focus on what matters most and avoid undifferentiated work like procurement, maintenance, and capacity planning. As cloud computing has grown in popularity, several different models and deployment strategies have emerged to help meet specific needs of different users. Each type of cloud service, and deployment method, provides you with different levels of control, flexibility, and management. Understanding the differences between Infrastructure as a Service, Platform as a Service, and Software as a Service, as well as what deployment strategies you can use, can help you decide what set of services is right for your needs.

Which of the following is a cloud computing deployment model in which the cloud infrastructure is provision for open use by the general public?

Cloud Computing Models

There are three main models for cloud computing. Each model represents a different part of the cloud computing stack.

Which of the following is a cloud computing deployment model in which the cloud infrastructure is provision for open use by the general public?

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

Infrastructure as a Service, sometimes abbreviated as IaaS, contains the basic building blocks for cloud IT and typically provide access to networking features, computers (virtual or on dedicated hardware), and data storage space. Infrastructure as a Service provides you with the highest level of flexibility and management control over your IT resources and is most similar to existing IT resources that many IT departments and developers are familiar with today.

Which of the following is a cloud computing deployment model in which the cloud infrastructure is provision for open use by the general public?

Platform as a Service (PaaS)

Platforms as a service remove the need for organizations to manage the underlying infrastructure (usually hardware and operating systems) and allow you to focus on the deployment and management of your applications. This helps you be more efficient as you don’t need to worry about resource procurement, capacity planning, software maintenance, patching, or any of the other undifferentiated heavy lifting involved in running your application.

Which of the following is a cloud computing deployment model in which the cloud infrastructure is provision for open use by the general public?

Software as a Service (SaaS)

Software as a Service provides you with a completed product that is run and managed by the service provider. In most cases, people referring to Software as a Service are referring to end-user applications. With a SaaS offering you do not have to think about how the service is maintained or how the underlying infrastructure is managed; you only need to think about how you will use that particular piece of software. A common example of a SaaS application is web-based email where you can send and receive email without having to manage feature additions to the email product or maintaining the servers and operating systems that the email program is running on.

Cloud Computing Deployment Models

Which of the following is a cloud computing deployment model in which the cloud infrastructure is provision for open use by the general public?

Cloud

A cloud-based application is fully deployed in the cloud and all parts of the application run in the cloud. Applications in the cloud have either been created in the cloud or have been migrated from an existing infrastructure to take advantage of the benefits of cloud computing. Cloud-based applications can be built on low-level infrastructure pieces or can use higher level services that provide abstraction from the management, architecting, and scaling requirements of core infrastructure.

Which of the following is a cloud computing deployment model in which the cloud infrastructure is provision for open use by the general public?

Hybrid

A hybrid deployment is a way to connect infrastructure and applications between cloud-based resources and existing resources that are not located in the cloud. The most common method of hybrid deployment is between the cloud and existing on-premises infrastructure to extend, and grow, an organization's infrastructure into the cloud while connecting cloud resources to internal system. For more information on how AWS can help you with your hybrid deployment, please visit our hybrid page.

Which of the following is a cloud computing deployment model in which the cloud infrastructure is provision for open use by the general public?

On-premises

Deploying resources on-premises, using virtualization and resource management tools, is sometimes called “private cloud”. On-premises deployment does not provide many of the benefits of cloud computing but is sometimes sought for its ability to provide dedicated resources. In most cases this deployment model is the same as legacy IT infrastructure while using application management and virtualization technologies to try and increase resource utilization.

Which of the following cloud computing deployment model in which the cloud infrastructure is provided for open use by the general public?

Public cloud As the name suggests, this type of cloud deployment model supports all users who want to make use of a computing resource, such as hardware (OS, CPU, memory, storage) or software (application server, database) on a subscription basis.

Which cloud deployment model uses computing infrastructure?

Hybrid Cloud The hybrid model combines both public and private cloud deployment models giving a single cloud infrastructure that is aimed at increasing flexibility and deployment options for the business.

Which of the following cloud deployment model allows open use by every individual?

It exists on the premises of the cloud provider.” To be open to everyone, public cloud deployment services are usually delivered over the internet. All you need is a web browser to access all sorts of software and tools. Anyone with the right hardware and resources can operate a public cloud.

What is deployment model of cloud computing?

A cloud deployment model is defined by where the infrastructure for the deployment is located and who controls that infrastructure. The cloud deployment models denote the specific type of cloud environment based on ownership, size, and access. It also describes the cloud's nature and purpose.
