It contains client-side interfaces and applications that are required to access the cloud computing platforms. The front end includes web servers (including Chrome, Firefox, internet explorer, etc.), thin &amp; fat clients, tablets, and mobile devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Back End<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The back end is used by the service provider. It manages all the resources that are required to provide cloud computing services. It includes a huge amount of data storage, security mechanism, virtual machines, deploying models, servers, traffic control mechanisms, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Note: Both front end and back end are connected to others through a network, generally using the internet connection.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Components of Cloud Computing Architecture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are the following components of cloud computing architecture &#8211;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Client Infrastructure<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Client Infrastructure is a Front end component. It provides GUI (Graphical User Interface)&nbsp; to interact with the cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Application<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The application may be any software or platform that a client wants to access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Service<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Cloud Services manages that which type of service you access according to the client\u2019s requirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cloud computing offers the following three type of services:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>i. Software as a Service (SaaS) \u2013&nbsp;<\/strong>It is also known as&nbsp;<strong>cloud application services<\/strong>. Mostly, SaaS applications run directly through the web browser means we do not require to download and install these applications. Some important example of SaaS is given below \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example:<\/strong>&nbsp;Google Apps, Salesforce Dropbox, Slack, Hubspot, Cisco WebEx.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ii. Platform as a Service (PaaS) \u2013<\/strong>&nbsp;It is also known as&nbsp;<strong>cloud platform<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>services<\/strong>. It is quite similar to SaaS, but the difference is that PaaS provides a platform for software creation, but using SaaS, we can access software over the internet without the need of any platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example:<\/strong>&nbsp;Windows Azure, Force.com, Magento Commerce Cloud, OpenShift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>iii. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) \u2013&nbsp;<\/strong>It is also known as&nbsp;<strong>cloud infrastructure services<\/strong>. It is responsible for managing applications data, middleware, and runtime environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example:<\/strong>&nbsp;Amazon Web Services (AWS) EC2, Google Compute Engine (GCE), Cisco Metapod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Runtime Cloud<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Runtime Cloud provides the&nbsp;<strong>execution and runtime environment<\/strong>&nbsp;to the virtual machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Storage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Storage is one of the most important components of cloud computing. It provides a huge amount of storage capacity in the cloud to store and manage data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6. Infrastructure<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It provides services on the&nbsp;<strong>host level<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>application level<\/strong>, and&nbsp;<strong>network level<\/strong>. Cloud infrastructure includes hardware and software components such as servers, storage, network devices, virtualization software, and other storage resources that are needed to support the cloud computing model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7. Management<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Management is used to manage components such as application, service, runtime cloud, storage, infrastructure, and other security issues in the backend and establish coordination between them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>8. Security<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Security is an in-built back end component of cloud computing. It implements a security mechanism in the back end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>9. Internet<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Internet is medium through which front end and back end can interact and communicate with each other.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we know, cloud computing technology is used by both small and large organizations to&nbsp;store the information&nbsp;in cloud and&nbsp;access&nbsp;it from anywhere at anytime using the internet connection.
