Key Characteristics of Public Cloud

Elasticity and Scaling

Expand your environment. Allow your organization to grow without being held back by a datacenter or a physical location.

High Resilience

Software as a Service (Saas), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), and Platform as a Service (PaaS) has SLA’s dictating how they would be available for all organizations maintaining services online.

On-Demand and Self-Service

A combination of automation and service lifecycle management allowing you to request what you need, be billed by it, and use it as you request.

Pay-Per Use Pricing

You purchase the service; you can use it for your business need with no ramp up time. Allows for deep discounts if you use reserved pricing at an extended service agreement.

Broad Network Access

Public cloud allows the ability for you to manage resources in a broad range of accessibility solutions like mobile phones, tablets, laptops, and workstations.

What is the difference between IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS?

Finding the right fit for your public cloud solution

Each cloud has a basic service offering revolving around machine building (compute), networking, storage, identity management, and database. This allows you the ability to utilize the cloud for what you intend, and then start reaching out to the robust services that may include machine learning, notifications, Kubernetes, and more. 

azure

Focused on expanding their Microsoft services by providing proven products as a consumable for the customer in the cloud. This includes things like Active Directory, Microsoft SQL, and more to provide the best Microsoft has to offer, with additional services.

aws

Determined to have the most services available, AWS continues to be the powerhouse for adding new services weekly. From multiple AMI images for virtual machines allowing various resources to build, to an extended amount of database services to meet the customers need without having to adjust their environment, or data AWS pushes to provide what the individual customer needs quickly.

Oracle

Oracle has found its niche in the world of High Performance Computing(HPC), and Exadata services. Oracle has seen what the world of public cloud has done, and chosen how it wants to be utilized, allowing a very specific number of services that help realize their vision of the cloud.

Google Cloud Platform

GCP is a developer’s best friend. This is the cloud for applications. The creators of what we now know as Kubernetes proved to us then that they are willing to be disruptors to the business if it means allowing applications to expand and grow seamlessly and quickly.
