Week 2 - Cloud Deployment Models

Cloud computing has changed how businesses handle data, and choosing the right cloud deployment model is key. The most common models include public, private, hybrid, and community clouds.

A public cloud is run by third-party providers and shared by many users. It’s affordable and easy to scale but offers less control and security. In contrast, a private cloud is dedicated to one organization, either hosted on-site or by another provider. It provides stronger security and control but usually costs more.

The hybrid cloud combines both public and private clouds, giving businesses flexibility to move data and workloads between them. This helps optimize resources and meet changing needs. Lastly, a community cloud is shared by organizations with similar requirements, like regulatory compliance, allowing them to collaborate more effectively.

Choosing the right cloud model depends on your organization’s security needs, budget, and how much control and flexibility you require. Understanding these models helps you pick the best cloud setup for your goals.

Week 5 - Can the Cloud Keep Up

The Internet of Things (IoT) is exploding, connecting everything from smart home devices to industrial machines. This rapid growth creates huge amounts of data that need to be processed, stored, and managed efficiently. Many experts believe the cloud will play a key role in handling this flood of information. Cloud computing offers flexible resources and scalable infrastructure that can adjust to the growing number of IoT devices. However, there are challenges to overcome. For example, IoT devices often generate real-time data that needs quick processing, which can be difficult when relying on distant cloud servers. This has led to the rise of “edge computing,” where data is processed closer to the devices themselves to reduce delays. Security and privacy are also major concerns. As more devices connect to the cloud, protecting data from cyberattacks becomes critical. The cloud must evolve to offer stronger security measures to keep IoT data safe. In the future, a combination of clo...

Week 8 - Relational Database

A relational database is a system used to store and organize information in a structured way. Instead of keeping everything in one long file, it separates information into tables. These tables work a lot like spreadsheets, with columns that describe the type of data, such as a name or a date, and rows that contain the actual data. What makes relational databases special is that the tables can be connected, or related, to each other. For example, one table might hold customer information, while another stores their orders, and the database links those pieces together. This approach was first introduced in 1970 by E. F. Codd, a researcher at IBM. Before that, information was often kept in flat files, which made it hard to find specific details or make connections between different pieces of data. Codd’s idea completely changed how businesses manage large amounts of information. To interact with a relational database, people use a language called SQL, or Structured Query Language. It al...
