ability to add and remove capacity as and when it is required. This is often referred
to as elastic scale. Being able to add and remove this capacity can dramatically
reduce the total cost of ownership for certain types of applications, for some
applications cloud computing is the only economically feasible solution to the
problem);
Characteristics
It is :
sold on demand (automatic approach to scaling
in cloud environments), typically by the minute
or the hour;
it is elastic - a user can have as much or as little
of a service as they want at any given time; and
the service is fully managed by the provider (the
consumer needs nothing but a personal
computer and the Internet access).

Cloud Tool Providers (CTPs);

Deployment Models
A cloud system (IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS) can be deployed using the
following three main models.
A public cloud sells services to anyone on the Internet. (e.g.
currently Amazon Web Services is the largest public cloud
provider.)
A private cloud is a proprietary network or a data centre that
supplies hosted services to a limited number of people.
When a service provider uses public cloud resources to create
their private cloud, the result is called a virtual private cloud.
Private or public, the goal of cloud computing is to provide
easy, scalable access to computing resources and IT
services.
A hybrid cloud is needed when private clouds run out of
capacity. It is a composition of two or more clouds that remain
unique entities but are bound together.

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Cloud infrastructure services or
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) delivers computer infrastructure,
typically a platform virtualisation environment, as a service. Rather
than buying servers, software, data centre space or network
equipment, clients buy those resources as a fully outsourced service.
IT is the study, design, development, implementation, support and
management of the computer-based information systems, particularly
software applications and the computer hardware on which they
operate. IT is responsible for the use of computers and software to
convert, store, protect, process, transmit and retrieve information.
Private Cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) delivered to a
restricted set of customers, usually within an organisation.
Platform as a Service (PaaS) Cloud platform services or Platform
as a Service (PaaS) deliver a computing platform and /or solution
stack as a service, often consuming cloud infrastructure and sustaining
cloud applications. It facilitates deployment of applications without the
cost and complexity of buying and managing the underlying hardware
and software layers.
Public Cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) delivered to an
unrestricted set of customers.
