Introduction to cloud computing models and shared responsibility

Understanding Cloud Computing Service Models

Overview of Cloud Service Models

• Organizations face decisions on managing and operating cloud services, particularly regarding the type of cloud computing service model to adopt.

• The three primary models discussed are:

• IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service)

• PaaS (Platform as a Service)

• SaaS (Software as a Service)

Responsibilities in Cloud Models

• The level of responsibility varies between organizations and their cloud service providers based on the chosen model.

• This section will also cover the shared responsibility model specifically between Google Cloud and its customers.

Learning Objectives

• By the end of this section, learners will be able to:

• Define IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS.

• Compare and contrast benefits and trade-offs among these models.

• Determine applicable computing models for various business scenarios.

• Describe the shared responsibility model in cloud computing.

Shared Responsibility Model Insights

• Identification of responsibilities for both cloud providers and customers is crucial for understanding on-premises versus cloud computing models.
