Cloud Computing - Architecture

 

According to Wikipedia website? 

Cloud architecture, the systems architecture of the software systems involved in the delivery of cloud computing, typically involves multiple cloud components communicating with each other over a loose coupling mechanism such as a messaging queue. Elastic provision implies intelligence in the use of tight or loose coupling as applied to mechanisms such as these and others.

Important Components of Cloud Computing Architecture

Here are some important components of Cloud computing architecture:

1. Client Infrastructure:

Client Infrastructure is a front-end component that provides a GUI. It helps users to interact with the Cloud.

2. Application:

The application can be any software or platform which a client wants to access.

3. Service:

The service component manages which type of service you can access according to the client’s requirements.

Three Cloud computing services are:

·         Software as a Service (SaaS)

·         Platform as a Service (PaaS)

·         Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

4. Runtime Cloud:

Runtime cloud offers the execution and runtime environment to the virtual machines.

5. Storage:

Storage is another important Cloud computing architecture component. It provides a large amount of storage capacity in the Cloud to store and manage data.

6. Infrastructure:

It offers services on the host level, network level, and application level. Cloud infrastructure includes hardware and software components like servers, storage, network devices, virtualization software, and various other storage resources that are needed to support the cloud computing model.

7. Management:

This component manages components like application, service, runtime cloud, storage, infrastructure, and other security matters in the backend. It also establishes coordination between them.

8. Security:

Security in the backend refers to implementing different security mechanisms for secure Cloud systems, resources, files, and infrastructure to the end-user.

9. Internet:

Internet connection acts as the bridge or medium between frontend and backend. It allows you to establish the interaction and communication between the frontend and backend.

Benefits of Cloud Computing Architecture

Following are the cloud computing architecture benefits:

·         Makes the overall Cloud computing system simpler.

·         Helps to enhance your data processing.

·         Provides high security.

·         It has better disaster recovery.

·         Offers good user accessibility.

·         Significantly reduces IT operating costs.
