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
