CloudSpinx “Cloud Architecture” Consulting Services
Cloud architecture refers to the design and structure of cloud computing environments. It encompasses the technologies, services, and tools used to build, deploy, and manage cloud-based applications and data. Think of it as the blueprint that defines how your infrastructure components interact within the cloud environment.
Key Components of a Cloud Architecture:
- Front-End (Client Side)
- This represents the user interface you interact with to access cloud services. It can be a web browser, mobile app, or any device used to connect to the cloud.
- Back-End (Server Side)
- This is the heart of the cloud, housing the virtual servers, storage, databases, and networking resources that power your applications.
- Cloud Delivery Model
- This defines how cloud services are delivered to users. Popular models include:
- Public Cloud: Services are delivered over the public internet by cloud providers like AWS, Azure, or GCP.
- Private Cloud: A dedicated cloud environment for a single organization, managed on-premises or by a service provider.
- Hybrid Cloud: A combination of public and private cloud environments, offering flexibility and control.
- Network
- A secure and reliable network connects the front-end and back-end components, enabling data transmission within the cloud environment.
