NOTES:

6 advantages of cloud computing

  • trade capital expense (data centers and servers) for varaible expense ( consumption of computing resources )
  • Benefit from massive economies of scale ( cant compete with aws purchasing power )
  • Stop guessing about capacity
  • Increase speed and agility ( ability to easily get Minimum Viable Product up fast and easily )
  • Stop spending money running and maintaining data center ( let someone else manage that for you. eg aws )
  • Go global in minutes ( deploy in multiple regions around the world )

3 types of cloud computing

  • Infrastructire As A Service ( IAAS )
  • Platform As A Service ( PAAS )
  • Software As A Service ( SAAS )

3 types of cloud computing deployments

  • public (eg. aws, azure, google, etc.)
  • Hybrid ( mixture of public and private )
  • private cloud or on premise ( you manage it in your data center )

Know the difference between a region, availability zone (AZ) and an Edge Location

  • Think of availability zone's ( AZ ) as data-centers
  • A region is a geographical area. Each region consists of two or more AZ's
  • Edge location are endpoints for aws which are used for caching content. ( Think Cloudfront, which is the AWS CDN )
