What is cloud computing?

- The practice of using a network of remote servers hosted on the Internet to store, manage, and process data, rather than a local server or a personal computer

- As simple as pooling your stuff together for your own access, private cloud

Cloud Computing Models

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) - basic building blocks for cloud IT (VPC, EC2, EBS)
Platform as a Service (PaaS) - AWS manages the underlying infrastructure (hardware and OS - RDS)
Software as Service (SaaS) - Complete Product run by the service provider. End-user applications (web email, office 365, salesforce)
