which cloud deployment model lets users use multiple cloud models working together seamlessly?
hybrid
vm (virtual machines)
multiple distinct compute environments on the same physical hardware
examples of computing resources
networks servers storage applications services
artificial intelligence
powers the analytics and decision-making from the data collected
which of these statements best reflects the symbiotic relationship between AI and IoT on the cloud?
AI consumes data produced by IoT devices. based on conclusions drawn by AI algorithms on patterns emerging this data, IoT devices learn to anticipate user actions based on past actions and respond to them based on their preferences
3 service models
IaaS (infrastructure) PaaS (platform) SaaS (application)
which of these are full-service cloud platforms? a. ibm cloud b. amazon web services c. google cloud platform d. microsoft azure
a, b, c, and d
hypervisor
is a small software layer that enables multiple operating systems to run alongside each other
measured service
you only pay for what you use or reserved as you go resource usage is monitored, measured, and reported transparently based on utilization
what are some of the cloud benefits that make it lower-risk for enterprises to adopt cloud?
not data security associated with loss or unavailability of data causing business disruption not diversity of standardization in how the constantly evolving technologies integrate and interoperate the pay-as-you-go model allows enterprises to experiment with technologies as opposed to making long-term decisions based on little or no trial
5 essential characteristics
on-demand self-service broad network access resource pooling rapid elasticity measured service
how does cloud computing help IoT devices?
provide the resources to store and process the data produced by IoT devices and users minimize latency in reporting and responding to data collected through IoT sensors from around the world
cloud
provides globally distributed, scalable, and cost-efficient computing resources
3 types of cloud deployment models
public hybrid private
which of these are essential characteristics of the cloud?
resource pooling on-demand self-service
which of these vendors are known more for their SaaS offerings?
salesforce, sap, oracle cloud
what 1950s technology helped evolve to virtual machines (vm)?
shared access of a mainframe
private
the cloud infrastructure is provisioned for exclusive use by a single organization. it could run on-premise or it could be owned, managed, and operated by a service provider
analytics
track trends on social media to predict future events analyzed data to build machine learning models in cognitive applications data analytics and predictive maintenance solutions for city infrastructure
resource pooling
what gives cloud providers economies of scale, which they pass on to their customers, making cloud cost-efficient resources dynamically assigned based on demand
on-demand self-service
you get access to cloud resources such as the processing power, storage, and network you need, using a simple interface, without requiring human interaction with each service provider
Iaas (infrastructure)
you get access to infrastructure and physical computing resources such as servers, networking, storage, and data center space - without the need to manage or operate them
PaaS (platform)
you get access to the platform, that is the hardware and software tools, usually those needed to develop and deploy applications to users over the internet
what is the three-way symbiotic relationship between IoT, AI, and cloud?
IoT delivers the data, AI powers the insights, and both emerging technologies leverage cloud's scalability and processing power
virtualization
a huge catalyst for evolutions in computing shared hosting environments virtual private servers virtual dedicate servers
cloud computing
a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction
blockchain
a secure, immutable network that allows members to view only the transactions that are relevant to them
what are some of the results companies like bitly, American Airlines, bank, and activtrades achieve with cloud adoption? a. better customer service b. remove barriers to innovation c. demad for enterprise scale d. accelerating growth
a, b, c, and d
how does blockchain support AI?
blockchain provides the trusted, decentralized source of truth lending trust and transparency to the decisions made by AI algorithms
what is the three-way relationship between blockchain, AI, and the cloud?
blockchain provides the trusted, decentralized source of truth, AI powers the analytics and decisions made from the collected data, and cloud provides the globally distributed, scalable, and cost-efficient computing resources to support both technologies
how did ubank leverage the cloud to remove barriers to innovation?
by adopting a PaaS cloud development model to streamline development and empower product teams
broad network access
cloud computing resources can be accessed via the network through standard mechanisms and platforms such as mobile phones, tablets, laptops, and workstations
Int, AI, blockchain, and analytics are emerging technologies enabled by the cloud. what are some of the attributes of cloud computing that enable these technologies?
cloud offers on-demand computing the power and scale of cloud resources
what are some cloud computing benefits?
competitive advantage flexibility and efficiency
according to the international data corporation (idc), what is that crucial ability that will make cloud computing essential for businesses to succeed, sustain, and compete in today's markets?
data-driven decisions
An ibm institute for business value study says that more than three-quarters of enterprises today are using cloud computing to expand into new industries. what additional benefits do organizations find when adopting the cloud:
improve customer experience and create enhanced products and services
what tasks do hypervisors accomplish?
enable multiple operating systems to run alongside each other, sharing the same physical computing resources separates VMs logically and assigns each a share of the underlying computing power, memory, and storage
SaaS (software)
is software licensing and delivery model in which software and applications are centrally hosted and licensed on a subscription basis, and sometimes also referred to as "on-demand software"
public
leverage cloud services over the open internet on hardware owned by the cloud provider, but its usage is shared by other companies
hybrid
mix of both public and private clouds, working together seamlessly
in the us national institute of standard and technology (nist) definition of "cloud computing", what does the statement "shared pool of configurable computing resources" include?
networks, servers, storage, applications, and services
rapid elasticity
you can access more resources when you need them, and scale back when you don't
