Cloud computing is gathering momentum as a solution that can save consumers and enterprises time and money. There are a variety of cloud-based approaches, including Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), and these alternatives, combined with an industry eager to advertise their cloud-based solutions, can cause cloudiness in the minds of enterprises, service providers and consumers trying to determine how the cloud can help them. This training solution introduces cloud computing in general, and then focuses on the three predominant implementations of cloud computing. It combines both a view of the technology and the business considerations to create a comprehensive understanding of cloud computing. Where appropriate, real examples of Cloud solutions are discussed.
