Cloud Service Models (IaaS,PaaS,SaaS)

 Cloud Service Models (IaaS,PaaS,SaaS):


IaaS:

Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) is a type of cloud computing service that offers 

  • essential compute (hardware)
  • storage
  • networking resources on demand
  • middleware (ex: Linux)
  • OS

IaaS provides services on a pay-as-you-go basis.

Example for IaaS is EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) service provided by AWS.

AWS EC2 provides, processers, storages, networking, operating system.

PaaS:

Platform as a service (PaaS) is a complete development and deployment environment in the cloud, with resources that enable you to deliver everything from simple cloud-based apps to sophisticated, cloud-enabled enterprise applications.

Example for PaaS is AWS Elastic Beanstalk provided by AWS, for deploying applications which orchestrates various AWS services, including EC2.

AWS Elastic Beanstalk is an easy-to-use service for deploying and scaling web applications and services developed with Java, .NET, PHP, Node.js, Python, Ruby, Go, and Docker on familiar servers such as Apache, Nginx, Passenger, and IIS.

SaaS:

Software as a service (SaaS) allows users to connect to and use cloud-based apps over the Internet.

SaaS is also known as "On-Demand Software".

Common examples are email, calendaring and office tools (such as Microsoft Office 365), ERP, CRM, Sales, . 

SaaS provides a complete software solution which you purchase on a pay-as-you-go basis from a cloud service provider.

Certified Enterprise Architect Professional (CEAP) - Module 4 - Architecture Precursors

 Architecture Precursors: Precursors to modern Enterprise Architecture (EA) include early frameworks like IBM's Business Systems Planning (BSP), which focused on aligning business strategy with information systems, as well as other Information Systems (IS) architecture methodologies that emerged in the 1970s and 80s, emphasizing the connection between business processes and IT systems, laying the groundwork for the holistic view of an organization that EA represents today; the "Master Plan for Information Systems" by Evans and Hague is also considered a foundational concept in this area. Drivers: internal / external pressure enforce to change the system Aims & Directives: Aims:  Goals Objectives Requirements Directives: Principles (example: Principles can be associated with business, data, applications, infrastructure, or security) Policies (example: Members of the public have minimal access to data) Business Rules (example: A rule directs and restricts a procedure)
