Cloud automation employs tools and scripts to execute tasks like provisioning, scaling, and monitoring in cloud environments.

Service-level agreements define the expected service performance, availability, and responsibilities between a customer and provider.

Cloud governance involves managing and overseeing processes and policies required for safe and efficient cloud service use.

Customers are responsible for securing data, applications, and user access.

On-demand self-service, broad network access, resource pooling, rapid elasticity, and measured service.

Cloud-based scalability allows dynamic adjustments to resources to meet organizational demands while maintaining system performance.

IAM involves technologies and policies to manage user identities and control access to cloud resources.

Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services over the internet including storage, processing, and software.

IaaS provides virtualized computing resources like servers, storage, and networking.

Public cloud, private cloud, hybrid cloud, and community cloud.

The Shared Responsibility Model defines security responsibilities between the cloud provider and the customer.

Disaster Recovery involves strategies and tools to recover IT systems and data after a disruption.

Cloud data segregation ensures logical separation of each organization's data to prevent interference or unauthorized access.

Resource pooling allows providers to serve multiple customers using a multi-tenant model with dynamically allocated resources.

High availability ensures continuous service with minimal downtime using redundancies and failover mechanisms.

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS).

PaaS provides a platform and environment to develop, deploy, and manage applications without managing underlying infrastructure.

Hybrid clouds combine public and private clouds, enabling data and application sharing between them.

Cloud elasticity refers to the ability to dynamically scale resources up or down based on demand.

SaaS provides software applications over the internet, accessible by users through a web browser.

Data encryption protects confidentiality and prevents unauthorized access during data transit and storage.

Cloud scalability refers to the ability of a cloud system to handle increased workload or grow by adding resources.

Virtualization is the creation of virtual resources like servers or operating systems to optimize hardware utilization.

Public clouds are hosted by third-party providers and shared across multiple organizations over the internet.

Cloud orchestration automates workflows and processes to streamline the management of cloud resources.

Availability is the ability to ensure services and data are accessible when needed, minimizing downtime.

Providers are responsible for the infrastructure security and ensuring standard operational practices.

Serverless computing allows users to run applications without managing underlying server infrastructure, typically billed per execution.

Measured service ensures resource use is monitored, controlled, and billed based on consumption levels.

Community clouds are shared by organizations with similar requirements, often managed collaboratively.

Private clouds are dedicated to a single organization, offering more control and security.

Multi-tenancy enables multiple customers to share computing resources in isolation while reducing costs.
