Course Introduction and Objective2:53
Discover the benefits of cloud computing, its role in strategy and infrastructure management, and explore deployment models: private, community, public, hybrid—drivers, threats, data, and business analytics.
What is Cloud Computing?17:24
Explore how cloud computing delivers on-demand, internet-based shared processing resources with mobility and a pay-as-you-go model, powered by virtualization and scalable cloud hosting.
How does Cloud Computing require more than just Simple Networking ? Part 16:38
Explore how cloud computing demands more than simple networking, with flexible, programmable, and virtualized infrastructure enabling on-demand resources, automated provisioning, and federation across clouds.
Virtualization4:37
Learn virtualization concepts such as hypervisors and virtual machines to create independent guest environments and virtualized environments with different operating systems on a single server.

Introduction to SaaS , PaaS and IaaS.15:01
SaaS - Software Control Stack , Benefits & Issues7:11
Explore the software as a service stack, where the provider controls hardware and middleware while the app is consumer-controlled, with cost savings and security and connectivity considerations.
SaaS Application Sustainability and Recommendations for Implementing SaaS.8:31
Explore sustainability considerations for SaaS deployments, including business logic gaps, data protection, risk assessment, and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, with practical recommendations for implementing software as a service.
Case Study for SaaS13:57
Explore a SaaS case study of a multi-tenant, centralized infrastructure with shared resources and easy customization, enabled by universal access and sales and marketing clouds.
PaaS - Consumer deploys consumer developed/acquired apps. Eg. Google Apps Engine11:39
Case Study for PaaS7:24
Examine a PaaS case study that contrasts legacy on-prem stacks with cloud-based services, drag-and-drop app building, integrated runtimes, and open cloud databases, plus governance and lifecycle management.
IaaS Software Control Stack4:22
IaaS benefits , Issues, Concerns and Recommendations11:11
Case Study IaaS Part 13:32
Explore infrastructure as a service options with AWS EC2 and Microsoft Azure, highlighting elastic compute, scalable resources, command-line management, Zen hypervisor, pay-per-use cost, and a provisioning demo.
Case Study IaaS Part 24:26
Explore open source IaaS with OpenStack, virtualization benefits, vendor-neutral cloud platforms, and automated lifecycle management for scalable public and private clouds.

Private6:17
Private Deployment model
Community3:46
Infra is provisioned for a specific community from a specific from orgs that have shared concerns such as common missions/security. Can be managed by one or more community members or third party and can exist on or off premise. Two variants:Onsite or outsourced.
Public3:55
Infra is provisioned to be of open use for general public. May be owned and managed by a academic,business or government
Hybrid3:44
Composition is a mixture of two or more distinct cloud infrastructures which remain unique entities but are bound together by standardized or proprietary technology. It is subjected to all the constraints of its building blocks.
Before choosing the Deployment for Cloud Infrastructure2:26

Infrastructure Security ,Data Security & Storage3:08
Assess cloud security across public, private, and hybrid models by enforcing data in transit confidentiality, authentication, access control, encryption, and application security with multi-tenancy considerations.
Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Privacy2:49
Explore identity and access management in cloud environments, including provisioning and onboarding, authentication, federation, and identity lifecycle management; examine privacy concepts and data handling controls.

Re-architecting apps for Cloud Computing4:06
Assess migration options through a rigorous evaluation to select among five choices, including rebuilding with a different platform and replacing with software as a service.
Cloud Based DR4:16
Evaluate application needs and choose a cloud-based disaster recovery approach by comparing cloud providers, pricing models, and strategies for VM replication or storage-only backups to ensure timely, reliable recovery.
