Cloud Providers

A cloud provider is a person, or an organization; it is the entity responsible for making a service available to interested parties.

A Cloud Provider acquires and manages the computing infrastructure required for providing the services, runs the cloud software that provides the services, and makes arrangement to deliver the cloud services to the Cloud Consumers through network access.

What Cloud Providers does for SaaS?

For Software as a Service, the cloud provider deploys, configures, maintains and updates the operation of the software applications on a cloud infrastructure so that the services are provisioned at the expected service levels to cloud consumers. The provider of SaaS assumes most of the responsibilities in managing and controlling the applications and the infrastructure, while the cloud consumers have limited administrative control of the applications.

What Cloud Providers does for PaaS?

  • For PaaS, the Cloud Provider manages the computing infrastructure for the platform and runs the cloud software that provides the components of the platform, such as runtime software execution stack, databases, and other middleware components.
  • The PaaS Cloud Provider typically also supports the development
  • For deployment and management process of the PaaS Cloud Consumer by providing tools such as integrated development environments (IDEs), development version of cloud software, software development kits (SDKs), deployment and management tools.
  • The PaaS Cloud Consumer has control over the applications and possibly some of the hosting environment settings, but has no or limited access to the infrastructure underlying the platform such as network, servers, operating systems (OS), or storage.

What Cloud Providers does for IaaS?

For IaaS –

  • The Cloud Provider acquires the physical computing resources underlying the service, including the servers, networks, storage and hosting infrastructure.
  • The Cloud Provider runs the cloud software necessary to makes computing resources available to the IaaS Cloud Consumer through a set of service interfaces and computing resource abstractions, such as virtual machines and virtual network interfaces.
  • The IaaS Cloud Consumer in turn uses these computing resources, such as a virtual computer, for their fundamental computing needs Compared to SaaS and PaaS Cloud Consumers, an IaaS Cloud Consumer has access to more fundamental forms of computing resources and thus has more control over the more software components in an application stack, including the OS and network.
  • The IaaS Cloud Provider, on the other hand, has control over the physical hardware and cloud software that makes the provisioning of these infrastructure services possible, for example, the physical servers, network equipments, storage devices, host OS and hypervisors for virtualization.

A Cloud Provider’s activities can be described in five major areas, as shown in below Figure , a cloud provider conducts its activities in the areas of service deployment, service orchestration, cloud service management, security, and privacy. We will see detail in respective sections.
