3 DIFFERENT APPROACHES TO CLOUD-BASED SERVICES:
BENEFITS OF CLOUD COMPUTING • Infrastructure as a Service (laaS)
• Drive down costs • Platform as a Service (PaaS)
• Accessibility • Software as a Service (SaaS
• Productivity
• Scalability Infrastructure as a service (laaS)
• Access to automatic updates § vendor provides users access to computing resources such
• Business Continuity (Back up & Recovery) as servers, storage, and networking.
§ Organizations use their own platforms and applications
• Pay structure
within a service provider's infrastructure.

• Enables organizations to focus on development without
having to worry about underlying infrastructure.
CLOUD ARCHITECTURE
• Providers manage security, operating systems, server
software, and backups.
• Facilitates collaborative work even if teams work
remotely.

Mobile Services
§ Azure's Mobile services give you the tools to create and
deploy applications.
§ The information that gets accessed by the app running on
your device is stored in what's called a back-end database,
and so Mobile services are reGered to as mobile Back-end as
a service (mBaaS).
§ Can build apps for Android, iOS, HTML / JavaScript and
Windows Phone.

Azure supports the broadest selection of operating systems,

programming languages, frameworks, tools, databases and
devices. Build apps with JavaScript, Python, NET, PHP, Java and
Node.js; build back-ends for iOs, Android and Windows devices.
Azure cloud service supports the same technologies millions of
developers and IT professionals already rely on
and trust.
