3 What is Cloud Computing? Cloud computing is an approach that enables organizations to leverage scalable, elastic and secure resources as services with the expected results of simplified operations, significant savings in cost and nearly instant provisioning. The key attributes usually associated with Cloud Computing 1. Multi-tenant the ability to process the needs of multiple users with shared resources in a dynamic and transparent fashion 2. Elastic and Scalable resources can expand and contract as needed 3. Metered/Rented some manner of pay for only what you use 4. Self-Provisioned self check-in at least to some degree 5. Internet based accessible using internet technology, usually over the public Internet 6. X as a Service the details/concerns of implementation are abstracted for the customer The seventh attribute sets Secure cloud computing apart 7. Secure an overall decrease in risk due to greater security protocols and tools from the cloud provider for data in motion, data at rest and data in process.
