Introduction to cloud computing models and shared responsibility

“

When moving to the cloud, there are decisions to make about how to manage and operate different cloud services. One of those decisions is around the type of cloud computing service model to use. Organizations typically choose service model types based on their specific business requirements. In this section of the course, you'll explore three main cloud computing service models, IaaS or Infrastructure as a Service, PaaS or Platform as a Service, and SaaS or software as a service. Because the levels of responsibility between an organization and their cloud service provider vary depending on which model is used, you'll also examine the shared responsibility model between Google Cloud and our customers. By the end of this section, you'll be able to define IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS, compare and contrast the benefits and trade offs of IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS, determine which computing model applies to various business scenarios and use cases, describe the cloud shared responsibility model and identify which responsibilities of the cloud providers or the customers for on-premises and cloud computing models.
