Summary


In this chapter, we saw the three most widely used public cloud providers: Amazon Web Service (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). We also learned about the four basic components: compute, network, database, and storage for a cloud computing platform and the three cloud computing service models: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). Then we saw the four cloud computing deployment models: public cloud, private cloud, hybrid cloud, and community cloud. Then we looked into the things that we should consider while implementing cloud-based infrastructure services like resilience, high availability, disaster recovery, and monitoring strategy.

In the upcoming chapter, Chapter 2Overview of Microsoft Azure, we will be looking in more depth at Microsoft Azure which is the most important cloud provider that we cover in the book.
