3 Types of Cloud Computing Models (in public cloud):

-IaaS -PaaS -SaaS

Now, organizations need to be

-Innovative -Agile -Fast -Customer-focused

Select the two capabilities that form the basis of a transformation cloud? Select two correct answers.

-Open infrastructure gives the freedom to innovate by running applications in the place that makes the most sense. -Data cloud provides a unified solution to manage data across the entire data lifecycle.

Google Cloud Adoption Framework

-People -Process -Technology

What are the benefits of cloud computing?

-Scalable -Flexible -Agile -Strategic Value -Secure -Cost Effective

What are the Cloud Eras?

-VM Cloud Era -Infrastructure Cloud Era -Transformation Cloud Era: organizations focusing on true digital transformation - spreading transformation among all teams in organization. constant innovation. provides environment for app and infrastructure modernization.

Types of Questions/Problems that make Organizations undergo a digital transformation:

1. Be the best at understanding and using data 2. Want the best tech infrastructure 3. Create the best hybrid workplace 4. Know their data, systems, and users are secure 5. Prioritize sustainability

Five Primary capabilities that form basis of Transformational Cloud

1. Data 2. Open infrastructure 3. Collaboration 4. Trust 5. Sustainable Technology

What are the different ways organizations can implement IT structure?

1. on-prem 2. private cloud 3. public cloud 4. hybrid cloud 5. multi cloud

Major computing disruptions: Tensorflow Processing Units (TPUs)

A major disruption came from processors that were specifically meant for this type of application, and which we call TPUs, for Tensorflow Processing Units. TPUs are not double in power; they are 50 times more powerful than traditional chips!

What is the cloud?

A metaphor for a network of data centers.

What is Cloud?

A metaphor for the network of data centers which store and compute information available and accessible through the internet.

Major computing disruptions: quantum computing

And that's not all. Another major disruption came from quantum computing, which is a hundred million times more powerful.

Which item describes a goal of an organization seeking digital transformation?

Break down data silos and generate real time insights.

How a customer's expectation changes as a result of cloud tech?

Business models must adapt to remain relevant. Second, the traditional advantages of size and scale are no longer as differentiating as they used to be. With cloud, large and small companies have equal opportunities for success. Customers now expect relevant and easily accessible content and information almost instantly. They also expect services that are always running and available anywhere in the world.

Computing

Computing is the ability to process information and automate tasks most often done by a computer program.

As the world and business changes, organizations have to decide between embracing new technology and transforming, or keeping their technology and approaches the same. What risks might an organization face by not transforming as their market evolves?

Focusing on 'how' they operate can prevent organizations from seeing transformation opportunities.

Innovation

Innovation comes in waves, led by breakthrough technology.

An organization has a new application, and user subscriptions are growing faster than on-premises infrastructure can handle. What benefit of the cloud might help them in this situation?

It's scalable, so the organization could shorten their infrastructure deployment time.

What is the benefit of implementing a transformation cloud that is based on open infrastructure?

Open source software reduces the chance of vendor lock-in.

An organization has made significant investments in their own infrastructure and has regulatory requirements for their data to be hosted on-premises. Which cloud implementation would best suit their needs?

Private Cloud

Burning Platform Effect

The leap of faith to adapt new technologies as they create a paradigm shift; mean moving forward, letting go to the next tech platform

What is seen as a limitation of on-premises infrastructure, when compared to cloud infrastructure?

The on-premises hardware procurement process can take a long time.

What is Cloud Computing?

The technology and processes needed to store, manage, and access data that is transferred over the "cloud"

Digital Transformation

When an organization takes advantage of new technologies such as cloud to redesign and redefine relationships with their customers, employees, and partners. This change creates new business value and opportunities.

Select the definition of digital transformation.

When an organization uses new digital technologies to create or modify business processes, culture, and customer experiences.

TPU and quantum computing need:

a regulated environment

What is IoT?

everyday objects or devices that are connected to the internet and are able to send and receive data

The result of innovation waves is:

paradigm shift: a fundamental change in the way humans work together and engage in the world.

Compute power

refers to the speed at which a computer is able to process data
