Major cloud providers part 2 – GCP

Cloud Computing ?
How did we get here?

– On Premise: On-premise infrastructure, or private cloud, is a cloud environment that is available for use only by one client. Rather than sharing a pool of resources with multiple customers, companies have complete access to all the resources that a private cloud provides. Private clouds may be located within an organization’s data center, or located off-site and managed by a third-party. Private clouds provide a more secure environment that can simplify compliance with stringent regulations. Private clouds simplify data governance and data locality issues, and can deliver high SLA performance and efficiency.

– Cloud Compute : Cloud infrastructure, or public cloud solutions, provide elastic computing resources on demand with pay-as-you-go pricing that offers considerable cost savings for enterprise computing. Public cloud solutions are fully managed by third-party providers, relieving IT teams of the need to purchase, install, manage and upgrade technology on site. Public cloud offerings can scale easily to meet unpredictable workload demands and provide high reliability thanks to a great amount of redundancy. And public clouds can provide access to next-generation services like AI/ML, containers, blockchain, serverless computing and cloud native applications.

Advantages of Cloud Computing:

● Expansion in different geographical regions is possible even without physically traveling to those specific locations.
● Instant provision of new resources to compensate for traffic spikes is possible without buying physical hardwares.
● Remote access of servers is possible from anywhere in the world.
● No initial investment required.
● Broad Network Access is possible
● Ease in Scaling Up, Down, In and Out.
● Pay Only for what you use.
● On Demand Self-service : No human intervention needed to get resources.

On Premise vs IaaS vs PaaS vs SaaS:
