Short Introduction to Cloud Computing

In this chapter, you will learn the basics of cloud computing and will be presented with the core foundations of cloud infrastructure technologies. You will learn about the as-a-service solutions such as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS), and Containers as a Service (CaaS). You will be presented with the basics of cloud standards, Development and Operations (DevOps), continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD), and microservices. A base knowledge of the cloud will offer at least a basic introduction to AWS, Azure, and other cloud solutions. By the end of this chapter, we will also introduce you to technologies such as Ansible and Kubernetes. This chapter will provide a concise theoretical introduction that will be the foundation for the following three cloud-related chapters, which will provide you with important practical knowledge on the many solutions presented here.
