What You’ll Learn:

  • What is cloud computing?
  • The Shared Responsibility Model explained.
  • Key cloud models: Public, Private, and Hybrid.
  • The benefits of the consumption-based model.
  • How cloud pricing models optimize costs.


What is Cloud Computing?

Cloud computing delivers computing services like virtual machines, storage, and AI over the internet. It eliminates the constraints of physical infrastructure, allowing businesses to scale resources instantly without building datacenters.
Imagine a business needing extra IT resources for a short period. With cloud computing, there’s no waiting for infrastructure setup; you can expand your IT footprint at the click of a button.

Check out this below short video from Microsoft for a quick intro

Shared Responsibility Model: What You Should Know

In traditional datacenters, companies handle everything—security, infrastructure, and maintenance. With cloud computing, responsibilities are shared:

  • The cloud provider manages physical datacenters, hosts, and network connectivity.
  • Consumers handle their data, devices, and account security.

This model also shifts based on service types:

  • IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service): Most responsibilities lie with the consumer.
  • PaaS (Platform as a Service): Shared responsibilities between the provider and consumer.
  • SaaS (Software as a Service): The provider takes care of nearly everything.

Exploring Cloud Models

  1. Public Cloud: Shared resources maintained by third-party providers. Ideal for flexibility and cost efficiency.
  2. Private Cloud: Dedicated resources for one organization, offering greater control but at higher costs.
  3. Hybrid Cloud: Combines public and private clouds for the perfect balance of security, scalability, and cost-effectiveness.

Why Choose the Consumption-Based Model?

Cloud computing operates on an OpEx (Operational Expenditure) model, meaning:
  • No upfront costs for infrastructure.
  • Pay only for the resources you use.
  • Scale resources up or down based on demand.

This flexibility ensures businesses optimize costs and resources, avoiding the risks of over- or under-provisioning associated with traditional datacenters.


Cloud Pricing Models

The pay-as-you-go model lets you rent resources only when needed. This approach ensures efficient operations and allows businesses to scale infrastructure seamlessly as needs evolve.
