Cloud Computing:
Cloud is hosted computing environment that delivers software, platform or
infrastructure services to business users via network

In plain terms is the ability for end users to utilize parts of bulk resources and
that these resources can be aquired quickly and easily

three distinct categories within cloud computing

SaaS
PaaS
IaaS

Software as a Service
Platform as a Service
Infrastu as a Service

Characterstics of cloud:
Ondemand self service, it should give ability to signup anytime and provide
services without any delay to end users via network.

Cloud modules:
Software that is deployed over the internet
PaaS: Can be defined as a computing platform that allows the creation of web
applications quickly and easily and without the complexity of buying and
maintaining the software and infrastructure underneath it.
IaaS: Is a way of delivering cloud computing infrastructure - servers, storage,
network and operating systems - as an on-demand service.

-----------------------------------------------
Cloud platform vs On premise
-----------------------------
On Premise applications
1. Upfront investment
2. Customer owned upgrades and patching
3. Data center and hardware costs including disasater recovery
3. Costly customization created and maintained
4. Annual support cost
5. Retention of Own/IT Subcontracto staff required.
6. Managing own network security and access.
7. Outdated softwrae resulting in missed business benefit

Cloud Platform:
---------------
1. Rent flexible service/ pay as you grow
2. Standard security and access anywhere/whenever
3. Business super users rather than IT support
4. Embeded modern best practice processes.
5. No upgrades but latest functionoalities via regular releases.
Introduction to Oracle Cloud

-----
Little Customizations like personalizations.
Auto Upgrade
Less maintenance

PaaS
------
Customizations, can create new pages. complex computations
Client Upgrade
More maintenance

IaaS
-----
Customizations, can create new pages.
Client Upgrade
Application maintenance
DBA Patching
Heavy Maintenance

--------------------------------
In SaaS service provider does most of the stuff and customer does very less
customizations.
In PaaS Service provider does some of the stuff in application and rest of it
should be done by client.
In IaaS service provider does very little in terms of application and
customizations, most of the stuff to be done by client.
