Cloud Computing Concepts and Fundamentals - Introduction to Cloud Computing Fundamentals of Cloud Technologies Cloud Computing: Concepts, Models, and Services Basics of Cloud Infrastructure and Services Understanding the Core of Cloud Computing  (Paperback, Dr. Shashikala S, Mr. G. Mani)

Cloud Computing Concepts and Fundamentals introduces the essential principles, models, and technologies that form the backbone of modern cloud-based systems. It focuses on how computing services—such as servers, storage, databases, networking, software, and analytics—are delivered over the internet ("the cloud") to provide scalable, flexible, and cost-effective IT solutions. This topic covers the core service models—Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS)—as well as deployment models including public, private, hybrid, and community clouds. Key concepts such as virtualization, resource pooling, on-demand self-service, and elasticity are explored in detail.
