Cloud Benefits and Challenges

  • Online

This course will go into more detail regarding Cloud Computing properties and benefits. We will look in detail at the elements such as "scalability and elasticity," "availability and reliability," "manageability and interoperability," and "performance and optimization." When properly utilized, Cloud Computing can provide these capabilities to the applications deployed on the Cloud. The requirements for such "proper utilization" will also be discussed. Even with such positive and interesting benefits, there are pundits who believe there are still fundamental problems in using Cloud Computing. In the analysis process of bringing applications to clouds, or in the transformation of a datacenter to Cloud, or along with practically any project considering the use of Cloud Computing, these concerns emerge and become impediments to Cloud implementation. In some cases, these are real concerns and in many cases they are not. These will be reviewed. A more detailed review of the business and operational models of Cloud Computing will be considered. When these are treated in sufficient detail, one can begin to think about "Cloud Computing Economics," applying the Cloud model to different Cloud "service models" and different "deployment models."

What you will learn:

  • Describe cloud properties 
  • Discuss cloud concerns and impediment/inhibit factors 
  • Explain business and operational models
  • Summarize the economics of different cloud service and deployment models
