Explore Cloud Computing Models and Shared Responsibility

Learning Objectives

After completing this unit, you’ll be able to:

• Explain the various cloud computing service models.
  
• Determine which cloud computing model applies to various use cases.
  
• Describe the cloud shared responsibility model.
  

When moving to the cloud, there are decisions to make about how to best manage and operate different cloud infrastructures and services. One of those decisions is which cloud computing model to use. Google Cloud explores three main models in this unit.

• Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
  
• Platform as a Service (PaaS)
  
• Software as a Service (SaaS)
  

Explore the key aspects of each model and which works best based on different use cases.
