Cloud Infrastructure
Cloud infrastructure is a term that refers to the hardware and software components that provide cloud computing services. These include servers, software, networking, storage, and virtualization technologies. Cloud infrastructure is deployed to remote data centers and connected over the Internet, providing customers with on-demand computing resources.
How is cloud infrastructure different from cloud computing?
Cloud computing is achieved through cloud infrastructure. With cloud computing, companies can access on-demand computing resources such as processing, storage, and networking over the Internet in a pay-as-you-go manner.
Cloud computing helps businesses reduce costs, minimize the burden on IT teams, and scale and scale much faster than on-site infrastructure by eliminating the need to purchase, install, and manage the hardware and software needed to deliver these computing resources.

How does the cloud infrastructure work?
The cloud infrastructure relies on virtualization to abstract computer performance and storage capabilities from the real hardware and servers that deliver it. This enables users to access and utilize the cloud infrastructure from anywhere in the world on their computers.
Server
The main servers in the cloud infrastructure are servers that provide processing power and run tasks. These include servers that host cloud databases, web servers that provide commercial and non-commercial applications, mail servers that can send emails over the Internet, file servers that manage vast amounts of information, and other server types.
Networking
Networking infrastructure includes physical wiring, switches, load distribution devices, and routers that connect other components of the cloud infrastructure and provide customers with Internet or private network connections.
Storage
Cloud storage enables enterprises to store large amounts of data in remote locations without having to install and manage their own storage within an on-site data center.
Virtualization
Virtualization is implemented through software called hypervisors that provides secure access to the same underlying hardware of different configurations across multiple environments. This allows consumers to effectively select the computing, storage, and memory resources they need. Virtualization technology abstracts memory, computing performance, and storage from servers and then creates a virtualized pool of centralized resources, called the cloud.

There are three basic cloud architectures that combine cloud infrastructure in different ways
Private Cloud
The main servers in the cloud infrastructure are servers that provide processing power and run tasks. These include servers that host cloud databases, web servers that provide commercial and non-commercial applications, mail servers that can send emails over the Internet, file servers that manage vast amounts of information, and other server types.
Public Cloud
Cloud infrastructure owned and operated by third-party vendors or cloud service providers responsible for infrastructure provisioning, setting up, maintenance, and upgrading. In a public cloud, the environment is divided and can be used by multiple customers or tenants. Virtualization allows a single physical server to provide cloud resources to multiple tenants at a time. Customers access public cloud services as needed and pay only for the amount of computing services they use.
Hybrid Cloud
It consists of a mix of public and private cloud infrastructure. This model allows enterprises to choose the right cloud environment for each workload. For example, you can run workloads that are exploding or surging in demand in a public cloud, while also booking a private cloud for workloads that contain critical data or applications. If an enterprise serves more than one public or private cloud, the result is a multi-cloud environment
What is the cloud infrastructure delivery model?
Cloud infrastructure typically comes in one of three models, depending on the type of resources your business needs.
SaaS(Software as a service
It provides on-demand access to applications and software over the Internet, eliminating the need for enterprises to purchase and install software on local machines and drives. SaaS-based software is typically connected through a web interface and can be used on a variety of devices regardless of location. SaaS technologies typically provide users with the latest features because SaaS providers are responsible for software upgrades.
PaaS(Platform as a service)
Provides on-demand access to computing platforms and solution stacks that allow them to be tested and run. Customers are responsible for managing the applications running on the platform, which enables developers and programmers to use the latest application development and management solutions without having to build and maintain the infrastructure used to support them.
IaaS(Infrastructure as a service)
On-demand access to servers, networks, and storage devices over the Internet is a pay-as-you-go. IaaS products don't require an enterprise to provision and manage its own infrastructure on site. Customers are responsible for managing operating systems, applications, and middleware.
