Cloud Computing Iaas Infrastructure as a Service Specialist Level Complete Certification Kit - Infrastructure as a Service Study Guide Book and Online

Cloud computing has dramatically changed how business applications are built and run. At its core, cloud computing eliminates the costs and complexity of evaluating, buying, configuring, and managing all the hardware and software needed for enterprise applications. Instead, these applications are delivered as a service over the Internet. Whenever the term infrastructure is used, the resulting images will involve some set of physical devices. In IT, the infrastructure comprises all the physical computing devices required to enable an enterprise or individual to produce some result supporting the goals of the business. The role of the infrastructure is to make the achievement of the result easier and to increase its value to the business. Infrastructure as a Service is another method for managing and delivering the framework required to operate the business. At its core, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) must be discussed on two fronts: its construction and its presentation. The construction of an IaaS comprises the physical hardware and software used to provide the foundation for supporting the business. In a traditional IT solution, this foundation included servers, routers and bridges, and, in many cases, the technologies and solutions used to create the infrastructure were highly standardized. For IaaS, the physical infrastructure still remains, but how it is presented to the customer is radically different. The presentation of IaaS is an abstraction of the physical infrastructure. One might think of this abstraction as a software-based representation of the physical infrastructure and that perspective would not be without merit. For a business, an IaaS has a radical impact on how IT is delivered and managed because it is possible to purchase the right to use the abstraction of an infrastructure without purchasing and managing the physical infrastructure.
