Architecture and Cloud Concepts

Serverless computing

• allows you to run applications without managing the underlying servers

• requires you to manage the underlying servers

• is only suitable for small applications

• is a type of cloud storage service

IoT

• Internet of Technology

• Internet of Things

• Interconnected Online Tools

• Integrated Operating Technology

architecture and infrastructure concepts

• the fundamental principles, designs, and structures that form the foundation of information technology systems.

• a collection of software applications used for data analysis.

• the physical components of a computer system, such as the CPU and memory.

• the methods used to secure data in cloud computing environments.

Network Infrastructure

• the set of underlying network components and connectivity that enable communication between devices and systems.

• a type of software that manages network traffic and security.

• a physical location where network devices are stored and maintained.

• a protocol used for data transmission over the internet.

logical segmentation

• involves dividing a network into segments to control the flow of traffic and enhance security

• is the process of encrypting data to protect it from unauthorized access

• refers to the physical arrangement of network devices and connections

• is a method of increasing bandwidth by combining multiple connections

High Availability

• ensures that systems are operational and accessible for an extended period without downtime

• refers to the ability of a system to recover quickly from failures

• is the process of backing up data to prevent loss

• involves the use of redundant systems to improve performance

Microservices

• an architectural approach where an application is composed of small, independent services that communicate with each other.

• a method of deploying applications on a single server.

• a programming language used for web development.

• a database management system for large-scale applications.

Third-party vendors

• provide services and solutions that can be integrated into your infrastructure.

• are companies that only sell hardware products.

• are internal teams that manage company resources.

• offer consulting services without any product integration.

containerization

• A method of packaging software that includes the application and its dependencies for consistent deployment

• A process of creating virtual machines that run on a hypervisor

• A technique for optimizing database performance through indexing

• A strategy for managing network traffic in cloud environments

Physical Isolation

• ensures that critical systems are physically separated from others, adding an extra layer of security

• is a method of securing data through encryption

• involves the use of firewalls to protect networks

• is a technique for improving system performance by reducing load
